2025 Nissan Murano Platinum: Elevated Comfort for Alberta Highway Journeys

The 2025 Nissan Murano Platinum delivers premium comfort features designed specifically for drivers who spend significant time on highways. Massaging front seats, heated and ventilated seating, and a Bose 10-speaker audio system tuned for the Murano's cabin reduce fatigue on extended drives between Lethbridge, Calgary, and Edmonton. These features work together to create a more relaxed driving environment—particularly valuable on Alberta's long highway stretches.

Power comes from a 2.0 L VC-Turbo engine producing 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Google Built-In provides real-time navigation through a 12.3-inch touchscreen, while ProPILOT Assist 1.1 uses navigation data to proactively adjust speed ahead of curves. For drivers seeking a crossover that prioritizes comfort and technology on highway journeys, the Murano Platinum combines performance with thoughtful features.

Platinum Trim: Built for Comfort

Premium Seating Features

The Platinum grade features semi-aniline quilted leather-appointed seats across the first and second rows. Front seats include an 8-way power driver's seat with 4-way power lumbar support and a 6-way power passenger seat with 4-way power lumbar. Both front seats offer heating, ventilation, and massage functions—a first for Murano.

The driver's seat includes 2-position memory with auto entry/exit, allowing two drivers to save their preferred seating positions. Rear outboard seats are heated, and the second row adopts Nissan's Zero Gravity design to provide better support on longer trips. The thinner front seat design and 0.8-inch increased couple distance create more knee room for rear passengers.

Interior Design and Technology

Dual 12.3-inch displays are standard in the Platinum. The centre touchscreen handles entertainment, navigation, and vehicle settings, while the left display serves as a configurable instrument cluster with multiple display modes. A capacitive-touch panel controls climate functions, and push-button shifters free up centre console space for storage and the standard wireless phone charging pad.

The dashboard features a unique Murano Glass finisher that incorporates colour-shift graphics and textures inspired by Venetian glassworks. Three interior colour themes were designed around the light quality of golden hour, creating a warm cabin environment. Standard 64-colour ambient lighting allows you to customize the interior atmosphere.

A colour head-up display projects key information onto the windshield, keeping your eyes on the road. The panoramic moonroof adds natural light throughout the cabin. The new steering wheel design features a flatter bottom for easier entry and exit.

Audio and Connectivity

The Bose 10-speaker premium audio system in the Platinum grade includes Engine Harmonic Cancellation and Engine Harmonic Enhancement for immersive sound quality. Active Sound Cancellation is standard across all Murano grades to reduce road noise.

Google Built-In brings Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play Store directly to the 12.3-inch touchscreen. This system provides real-time traffic updates, turn-by-turn navigation, and access to compatible apps. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard. Four USB Type-C ports (two front, two rear) allow passengers to charge devices throughout the cabin.

Performance Engineered for Alberta Highways

2.0 L VC-Turbo Engine

The Murano Platinum uses a 2.0 L VC-Turbo (Variable-Compression Turbo) engine rated at 241 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This engine provides responsive acceleration for highway merging and passing, with an increase of 20 lb-ft of torque compared to the previous generation.

The 9-speed automatic transmission features paddle shifters for manual gear selection when desired. This transmission provides smooth shifts and efficient power delivery. Idle stop/start is standard to conserve fuel during city driving.

Intelligent All-Wheel Drive

Standard Intelligent All-Wheel Drive monitors road conditions and adjusts torque distribution between the front and rear wheels. This system helps maintain traction on wet pavement or light snow—conditions often encountered on Alberta highways during spring and fall.

Frequency-sensitive dampers in the suspension adjust to road conditions, helping absorb impacts from uneven surfaces. Electric power steering provides precise feedback and reduces effort during parking maneuvers.

ProPILOT Assist 1.1: Highway Driving Support

ProPILOT Assist 1.1 is standard on the Platinum grade and uses navigation data to enhance the driving experience. This system combines Intelligent Cruise Control with steering assist to help maintain lane position and set speed on highways.

The 1.1 version reads the planned route from the navigation system and proactively adjusts speed ahead of curves. This feature is particularly useful on highways with frequent curves, such as the stretch between Lethbridge and Calgary through the foothills.

The system operates by helping control acceleration, braking, and steering on single-lane highways. It does not make the vehicle autonomous—drivers must keep their hands on the wheel and remain attentive. ProPILOT Assist 1.1 reduces the workload on longer trips, making highway driving less fatiguing.

Advanced Camera Systems

3D Intelligent Around View Monitor

The Platinum includes an HD Enhanced Intelligent 3D Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection. This system provides a bird's-eye view of the vehicle using multiple cameras, with the ability to select from eight virtual vantage points around the Murano.

You can switch between different camera angles to check clearances when parking in tight spaces or navigating drive-through lanes. The system detects moving objects near the vehicle and provides visual and audible warnings.

Invisible Hood View

Invisible Hood View is a new technology for Murano that creates a virtual view "through" the engine bay. This feature helps when navigating car wash tracks, drive-through curbs, or other low obstacles that might be hidden under the hood line. The camera system composites multiple views to show what's directly in front of the vehicle.

Safety Features Standard Across All Grades

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on the Murano Platinum and includes:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Obstruction Detection
• Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
• Blind Spot Warning
• Blind Spot Intervention
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Lane Departure Warning
• Lane Keep Assist
• Intelligent Lane Intervention
• Rear Automatic Braking

The Murano includes 10 airbags: dual-stage supplemental front airbags, front and outboard rear seat-mounted side-impact supplemental airbags, a driver seat-mounted front-centre supplemental airbag (Platinum), roof-mounted curtain supplemental airbags with rollover sensor, and driver and passenger supplemental knee airbags.

Additional safety enhancements include under-seat reinforcement for second-row occupants, seat belt load limiters and pretensioners for rear passengers, and a passenger knee airbag. Relocating the side-view mirrors from the A-pillar to the outer doors improves forward visibility.
