The 2026 Nissan Murano has been completely reimagined. If you’re shopping for one in St. Louis, Suntrup Nissan is your best starting point for pricing.

Inspired by “Venetian glass” design principles, the all-new Murano arrives with a sculpted exterior, a lounge-worthy interior, and a standard 241-hp VC-Turbo engine. For St. Louis couples who want premium comfort without a luxury brand price tag, the 2026 Murano makes a genuinely compelling case. Here’s how its three trim levels stack up:

2026 Nissan Murano Trim Levels & Starting MSRP

  • SV ~$40,000
  • SL ~$44,500
  • Platinum ~$49,000

Pricing Note: All figures above reflect starting MSRP. Suntrup Nissan regularly offers dealer specials and incentives that bring your actual price even lower,  making us one of the best places in St. Louis to get a deal on a new Murano.

What Every 2026 Murano Includes

Before diving into trim differences, it’s worth noting what comes standard across the entire lineup because even the base SV is well-equipped:

  • Intelligent AWD (standard on all trims)
  • 241-hp VC-Turbo engine
  • Dual 12.3-inch displays (instrument cluster + touchscreen)
  • Zero Gravity front seats
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
  • Nissan Safety Shield 360
  • ProPILOT Assist

The Murano offers an extremely competitive standard package. Most competitors require you to climb two or three trim levels to match it.

The SV: Where Luxury Begins

The SV is the entry point, but it doesn’t feel like one. The dual 12.3-inch displays, Zero Gravity seats, and full safety suite create an interior experience that rivals vehicles costing significantly more. For St. Louis buyers who want the full Murano redesign without stretching to the upper trims, the SV delivers exceptional value.

The SL: The Sweet Spot

The SL adds the features that elevate the Murano from impressive to luxurious. Key upgrades include:

  • Google built-in for seamless navigation and voice commands
  • Premium leather seating with heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • A larger Bose premium audio system
  • Hands-free liftgate

For couples who spend weekend time cruising out of St. Louis toward the Ozarks or wine country, the SL’s comfort upgrades make every mile more enjoyable. This is the trim most buyers will find hits the ideal balance of features and price.

The Platinum: Full Indulgence

The Platinum is for buyers who want it all. On top of all SL features, you get:

  • Massaging front seats (exclusive to the Platinum trim)
  • A panoramic moonroof
  • 20-inch premium wheels
  • Enhanced ambient interior lighting
  • The most complete driver assistance package in the lineup

If you’ve ever sat in a European luxury SUV and wished for the experience without the maintenance costs, the Platinum Murano is your answer. It competes directly with vehicles from brands charging considerably more.

Is the 2026 Murano a Luxury SUV?

By any practical measure, yes. The combination of standard AWD, dual 12.3-inch displays, Zero Gravity seating, and available massaging seats puts the Murano firmly in luxury SUV territory without the luxury brand markup.

SV vs. SL vs. Platinum: Which Is Right for You?

  • Choose the SV if you want the full redesign experience at the most accessible price point.
  • Choose the SL if Google built-in, ventilated seats, and heated rear seats are on your must-have list.
  • Choose the Platinum if massaging seats, a panoramic moonroof, and the complete luxury experience are non-negotiable.
