Nissan has officially launched production of the highly anticipated 2025 Murano at its state-of-the-art Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant in Tennessee. This marks a major milestone, both for the brand’s manufacturing future and for the Murano, which has been re-engineered with the latest innovations to meet the diverse needs of today’s SUV buyers.

A Bold New Era in Murano Production

"Today is a proud moment for everyone involved," said Brian Crockett, Vice President of Manufacturing at Nissan Smyrna. "The tireless dedication of our Tennessee workforce has made this incredible vehicle possible."

These words reflect the energy and commitment behind this manufacturing feat. The Smyrna plant—long heralded as one of Nissan’s most advanced and sophisticated facilities—began producing the Murano back in 2020, delivering nearly 145,000 units across the U.S. and Canada. With the 2025 model, Nissan is ramping up production significantly, aiming to produce more than 6,700 vehicles monthly by March 2025. Deliveries for the new Murano are expected to begin early next year.

Inside the Newly Redesigned 2025 Murano

The 2025 Nissan Murano is a game-changer in every sense. The fourth-generation Murano ushers in a sharper, more modern design while still embodying the boldness Nissan is known for. Inspired by the futuristic looks of Nissan’s Ariya electric crossover, the new Murano features a pinched rear-quarter window and a sleek, swept-back roofline.

Apart from its evolved aesthetics, the Murano features an array of performance enhancements. Gone is the V6 engine of previous models, now replaced with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. This upgrade provides 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, offering a balance between power and efficiency.

Other performance highlights include:

• Improved Drive Options: Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available across trims.

• Elevated Ride Height: Increased by 1.4 inches for improved versatility.

• Advanced Tech Features: A new see-through hood camera system boosts visibility and capability.

For those who didn’t take to the previous continuous variable transmission (CVT), the switch to a nine-speed automatic is a welcomed change, delivering a smoother, more refined driving experience.

Attention to Comfort and Technology

The 2025 Murano interior has been meticulously crafted with comfort and innovative tech at its core. Highlights include:

• 12.3-Inch Dual Displays for infotainment and gauge clusters.

• Google Built-In Features found in the SL and Platinum trims, offering Google Maps, Play Store, and Assistant.

• Wireless Connectivity with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

• Luxury Touches: Platinum trims add massaging front seats, quilted semi-aniline leather upholstery, and ambient interior lighting.

Whether you're commuting to work or embarking on a weekend adventure, the Murano provides a luxurious experience, featuring a Bose premium 10-speaker sound system and Zero Gravity design seating, among other benefits.

Focusing on practicality, the Murano boasts generous cargo space—33 cubic feet with the rear seats up and an impressive 64 cubic feet when they’re folded down. Families, professionals, and adventure seekers alike will find the Murano to be a reliable companion for everyday activities.

Pricing, Availability, and Production Goals

While Nissan hasn't officially announced U.S. pricing for the 2025 Murano, estimates suggest a starting price of around $40,000, climbing to $49,000 for premium trims. We anticipate these details to drop before the holiday season now that production is underway.

The Murano is available in three trims: SV, SL, and Platinum. Among these, the mid-range SL stands out with impressive features such as a panoramic roof, a 360-degree camera system, memory settings for the driver’s seat, and in-dash navigation equipped with ProPilot advanced driving assistance.

Nissan aims to increase production to 6,700 units per month by March 2025, ensuring that the demand for this stylish new crossover is met promptly.

Why the Murano Stands Out

The new Nissan Murano represents a fusion of striking design, accessible luxury, and sustainable innovation. The Murano aims to make a bold statement on the highly competitive crossover market by stemming from a factory recognized for awards in quality and production efficiency.

From its origins as a boundary-pushing SUV in 2003 to its transformation today, the Murano is a testament to Nissan’s ability to exceed expectations and meet the needs of an evolving consumer base. The 2025 Murano is set to become a defining vehicle of its category. Whether you're drawn to its cutting-edge features or sharp new design, it’s clear that the Murano is here to impress—and redefine how we think about crossover SUVs.

Newsweek's Most Anticipated New Vehicles

Each year, Newsweek evaluates upcoming vehicles, selecting those that stand out for their potential impact on the market and the automotive world at large. This year, Nissan's Armada and Murano have captured the spotlight, marking a significant moment for the brand and offering an exciting glimpse into the future of driving.

2025 Nissan Armada

The 2025 Nissan Armada has dramatically transformed, setting a new standard for what drivers can expect from a flagship SUV. With its rugged yet sophisticated design, the Armada is ready to easily conquer city streets and off-road trails. Key features of the Armada include enhanced off-road capabilities, thanks to the introduction of the PRO-4X grade, which means the Armada now comes equipped with all-terrain tires, skid plates, and an electronic locking rear differential. These features make it a formidable contender for any off-road adventure.

The Armada also boasts powerful performance, with a new twin-turbo, direct-injected 3.5-liter V6 engine that delivers more horsepower and torque than its predecessor, along with an impressive towing capacity of 8,500 pounds. Advanced technology is another highlight, as the Armada incorporates Nissan's latest innovations, such as the ProPILOT Assist 2.12 for hands-off freeway driving, dual 14.3-inch screens with Google built-in, and an exclusive 12-speaker Klipsch® Premium Audio System. The Armada's blend of capability and luxury makes it a perfect option for families and adventurers alike, with pricing expected to start around $60,000.

2025 Nissan Murano

The 2025 Nissan Murano offers a unique blend of style and sophistication, elevating the brand's philosophy of "energetic elegance" to new heights. It promises a serene and luxurious driving experience focused on both comfort and performance. The Murano's stunning design features sleek lines and modern aesthetics, boasting available 21-inch wheels and eye-catching full-width LED tail lights. Inside, the emphasis on premium materials and craftsmanship ensures every ride feels like a first-class experience that makes its place on Newsweek's list obvious.

Cutting-edge technology is another highlight, with the Murano equipped with Google built-in, ProPILOT Assist 1.15, and an HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View® Monitor with Invisible Hood View, making navigating city streets or highways effortless. Luxurious comfort is evident in the Murano's cabin, which offers optional massaging front seats, dual 12.3-inch displays, and 64-color ambient lighting, creating a personalized and indulgent atmosphere for every passenger. Designed to stand out in the competitive crossover market, the Murano provides a striking alternative to the Chevrolet Blazer. Pricing details will be announced closer to its release date.

Nissan is resolutely pursuing an all-electric lineup by 2030, aiming for a zero-emission future despite facing market challenges. Delve into their strategic investments and cutting-edge technologies that are revolutionizing the electric vehicle landscape.

Navigating a Volatile Market with Confidence

Nissan remains steadfast amidst uncertain times. While automakers like Volvo and Ford have relaxed their all-electric pledges, Nissan is charging ahead with a £3 billion redevelopment in Sunderland. This plan includes building a third gigafactory to assemble the next-gen Nissan Leaf and zero-emission Qashqai and Juke models by 2030.

Innovating with Mobile Electric Units

A key element of Nissan's electric strategy is the idea of cars as "mobile energy units." By 2030, every Nissan EV will be capable of powering homes using their batteries. Thanks to Nissan's unique V2X technology, EV batteries can charge during off-peak times and supply energy to homes during peak demand, cutting electricity costs and enhancing vehicle utility.

Collaborating with ChargeScape

Nissan's commitment to an electric future goes beyond car production. The company has invested in ChargeScape, a venture with BMW, Ford, and Honda. ChargeScape integrates EVs with the grid, offering smart charging and vehicle-to-grid features. This connection helps reduce peak demand and allows EV owners to earn incentives, highlighting Nissan’s dedication to bidirectional charging and virtual power plants.

Benefits for EV Owners

Nissan's initiatives offer significant benefits for EV enthusiasts. V2X technology can reduce energy costs by powering homes during peak hours. Through ChargeScape, drivers can earn rewards by joining managed charging programs. These efforts support sustainability, reduce CO2 emissions, and position Nissan as a leader in electric mobility with innovative solutions.

Embrace Nissan's Electric Vision

Nissan's commitment to an all-electric future by 2030 reflects its dedication to innovation and sustainability. By investing in cutting-edge technologies and partnerships, Nissan is transforming its vehicle lineup and how EVs interact with homes and grids. For those considering an EV, Nissan provides compelling reasons to join the electric movement.

Bush Auto Group welcomes the new 2025 Nissan Armada. Off-roaders, adventurers, and lovers of big SUVs can all agree that the new Armada is dressed to impress with its luxury-focused interior, rugged off-road features, and ultramodern technology. While we welcome the new Armada, let’s learn more about our reliable, sharp-looking guest. 

Key Features of the 2025 Nissan Armada 

New PRO-4X Trim Level and Off-Road Capability 

Off-roading fans will welcome the new PRO-4X model of the 2025 Nissan Armada with open arms and rugged new terrains. Rougher roads are no sweat for the electronic locking rear differential and Intelligent 4WD of the new Armada’s PRO-4X model. Its eight drive modes celebrate its adaptability to rock, sand, ruts and mud, while its clear-viewing Invisible Hood View camera and Off-Road Information Display for wheel slip, steering angle, and other real-time data, allows the driver to adapt, too. Plus, with its 9.6 inches of ground clearance and additional lift of 2.1 inches from its Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension, this model’s great performance on tough terrain is undeniable.  

Enhanced Frame and Performance 

A quieter, smoother ride is always a welcome experience in a larger SUV. That’s why the 2025 Armada has a stronger frame with more torsional rigidity and more lateral stiffness. But this Nissan’s got speed and power, too, with its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 425 horsepower engine and 9-speed automatic transmission. The new Armada also welcomes extra cargo with its towing capability of up to 8,500 pounds and Trailer Blind Spot Monitoring for safer towing. 

Interior and Technology Upgrades 

Passengers seeking extra legroom will appreciate the new 2025 Armada's spacious third-row seating. In addition to increased cargo space, the cabin features quilted leather seats and open-pore wood, creating a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere. Tech upgrades, such as dual high-definition displays and Google built-in (available on SL trims and higher), along with standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, make the interior even more inviting.

Design and Exterior Features 

The 2025 Armada looks sharp with the improved visibility provided by its standard LED lighting; 18-, 20-, or 22-inch wheel size options; available two-tone roof treatments; and color choices like the popular, Super Black. The new Armada embraces its practical side, too, with features like a hidden rear wiper and a front air curtain for better aerodynamics. 

Comparing the 2025 Nissan Armada with the Infiniti QX80 

The 2025 Nissan Armada has a surprising amount in common with the Infiniti QX80, with both models featuring: 

• Trailer/towing assistance features 

• Premium sound systems 

• Advanced multi-media options 

• Large screens 

• Voice activated assistance 

Both vehicles are comparable in size and power; however, while the QX80 indulges in the luxury of the driving experience, the new Armada, on the other hand, appeals more to those seeking practicality. Specifically, it caters to families on-the-go and offers the kind of off-road adventures that can, in fact, leave other SUVs behind.

Why Choose the 2025 Nissan Armada? 

The 2025 Nissan Armada combines practicality, luxury, size, and power, making it a versatile choice in a market often dominated by one-dimensional SUVs. With its sturdy frame and powerful engine, it delivers reliable performance for off-road adventures. Additionally, its advanced technology and luxurious interior turn a daily commute into an extraordinary experience.

Bush Auto Group is proud to welcome the new 2025 Nissan Armada to the greater Philly region in late 2024. But in the meantime, you can visit any of Bush Auto Group’s Nissan Dealerships to test drive its earlier model, the 2024 Nissan Armada!

With the services, specials, and finance options our experts can provide, you’ll find shopping for your new Nissan at Bush Auto Group a welcome, refreshing experience, indeed! 

Nissan and Honda’s Partnership Goals

Nissan and Honda are Japan’s second and third biggest automakers, so why would two direct competitors want a partnership? Software. According to the Japan Times, the goal of the move was to catch up with Chinese competitors who had taken a decisive lead in EVs while Japanese companies concentrated more on hybrid cars. Electric Cars are more computer than motor these days and software is a crucial and ever-changing part of the electric vehicle future.

With this alliance, the two automakers aim to outpace Chinese manufacturers in the Eastern market and beyond. Together their project focus could involve vehicle function software, wireless update software, charging infrastructure updates, supplementary goods, and battery development.

Partnership Timeline

Both Nissan and Honda are staying quiet about in-depth developments, but it’s safe to speculate that since the March announcement, the companies are now settling on the finer details of the agreement. With lower production costs due to the partnership, EV costs to rival Tesla and other aggressive upcoming competitors could translate into higher sales if the lower production costs also translate into lower ticket prices at the dealership.

Ultimately, this partnership is the direct symptom of a worldwide trend of traditional automakers joining to survive and thrive in the EV era. With their resources and minds combined, standardizing vehicle software that’s easy for drivers to learn along with streamlining charging hardware that works with the growing infrastructure of charging stations could transform the electric vehicle market into the dominant fuel type on the road. Whatever happens, we eagerly await to see what will come out of this meeting of the minds.

While other Japanese manufacturers side with ICEs, Nissan committed to reducing carbon emissions and ensuring the future of our planet through EVs.

Nissan’s Commitment to Electric

Confirmed by Nissan’s VP for Africa, Middle East, India, Europe, and Oceania regions, Nissan is reaffirming that electric is the way forward. Nissan put forward their plans toward revolutionizing more efficient electric vehicle batteries with stunning amounts of range last month, showing that the future is electric, and Nissan intends to lead the field.

While Nissan isn’t planning on developing new internal combustion engines (ICE) for the markets mentioned above, they do plan to develop the technologies of their new e-Power hybrid systems as a “stepping stone” to full electrification. This is likely due to the continuous development of charging infrastructure around the world. Many countries continue to catch up, but other markets have led the world in electric infrastructure updates.

These announcements may not come into effect immediately in the United States and other Western markets as there is still developing electric infrastructure, but Nissan’s efforts towards electrification worldwide seem to hint that this strategy will be coming to all markets sooner or later.

What This Means for ICE Gas Engines

Nissan intends to keep selling conventional gas and diesel internal combustion engine vehicles but without further advancements in their technology. Instead, the company aims to channel its efforts into enhancing hybrid and plug-in powertrains, prioritizing electric vehicles in its research and development endeavors.

The timeline for completely phasing out combustion engines hasn't been confirmed by Nissan yet. It's contingent upon regulatory requirements and market demands in different regions. However, Nissan's European branch has announced plans to exclusively offer electric vehicles by 2030, starting in September 2023. As for the United States, the specific timing remains uncertain—we'll need to wait and see.

Electric Nissans for All
