The 2025 Nissan Murano gets a bold new look and a revamped powertrain, marking a fresh start for this midsized SUV. In this episode, we share our first impressions of the redesigned Murano, including its refreshed styling, appealing interior, engine performance, and driving dynamics. We also discuss who this SUV is best suited for. We also answer audience questions about the reliability and maintenance of high-voltage hybrid batteries. Plus, we explore why European cars often get advanced safety features years before they become standard in the U.S.
