2025 Nissan Murano Full Review, Test Drive, and Walkaround | IS THIS NISSAN'S NEW BEST SUV YET? |

[Music] the long anticipated 2025 Nissan Morano haide my name is Christopher this is cars unlocked let's get to [Music] it so if you've been a fan of the Nissan Morano you'll know that it was freshly redesigned in 2024 so over 10 years it was certainly due for an overhaul now we're here with the Platinum trim level so this this is the highest trim level this one's going to come with a Canadian MSRP of 54498 for all my American friends this Platinum trim level is going to start with an MSRP of 49600 so we're seeing a new exterior color for 2025 this is the Aurora blue obviously it's going to come with the traditional colors the black the gum metallic and it's also comes in Nissan champagne silver that we've seen on some of their other model so you can check those out on the Nissan website but let's look at the changes to the front end they kind of kept it with this athletic stance and styling but they really changed up the headlights here they went with more LED headlights and it's kind of a flattened out headlight we still see remnants of Nissan's known vo motion Grill here with the headlights we do have a forward faing camera as well parking sensors and we have our sensor here for the safety features which we're going to show you when we take it for a drive here there's also the Morano stamp right into this kind of front hood accent which is black and kind of contrast great with this color checking out the side profile here now let's start with the rims here this Morano comes with these machine finish 21 in aluminum alloy rims they almost look like a hubc cap but I kind of like the new style of the rims it's sitting on Bridgestone all season tires of course this Platinum Morano is going to come with the all-wheel drive now moving along it does come with the blackedout mirror caps we have led accents on the mirrors they are power folding mirrors as well and you can see on the top here this one has the chrome finish throughout the windows keeping with that kind of luxury look this does still have some traits from the old Morano you can see how this goes all the way to the back similar to the older style you can choose a two-tone roof if you want to go with a black roof that we saw in the Rogues and the Nissan Pathfinders but what I love most a little more rounded kind of sleeker looking vehicle but they've really added a lot of tech which we'll show you on the inside this is where this car really shines here and they really made a ton of changes look at the leather seats here this one being the Platinum you get this semi anline diamond quilted stitching up top these are going to be massage seats 10-way power adjustable seats heated and air conditioned and I love this kind of two-tone interior that they've started with now I want to point this out to you guys look how much space this is freed up in the center console here it does have the button shifters versus your traditional shifters I'm not a big fan of the button I do like a traditional shifter however this having the electronic shifter it does free up a ton of space here you can see we have our auto start stop and our different Drive modes and there is a really large center console here to keep your supplies little different wheel here kind of reminds me of like a spaceship they use this tracking ball here to control your middle screen behind and then we have our cruise control to the left two 12.3 in displays as well you have one behind the wheel and one for your infotainment this one's going to show all different things like here you can see we have our driver's assistant there's our settings our home screen our trip computer all the other stuff you've seen in the other Nissan the tire pressure monitor and then our radio so really Vivid bright screen here you can address the brightness if it's sensitive to your eyes I want to talk about this screen here so this has got got a lot going on here guys and it is really neat first things first we got the Google built-in voice assistant so let me just try that again hey Google play videos from Cars unlocked sorry I'm not cool enough but maybe if you guys subscribe eventually Google will let me know but let's try something different hey Google navigate to Niagara Falls navigating to Niagara Falls look at that very easy and it's just like your Google Maps you can see it's on the satellite view and you can pinch to zoom and move this thing around and here you can see it's going to map us to the Niagara Falls there so really neat with the Google Maps there's a lot of different things you can do using the voice commands there's also Alexa built in if you want to use Alexa you can set up your Amazon Alexa right there different interior light settings so you can change your ambient lighting look it there's a few different colors you can change your ambient lighting you can change the color of the propilot assist mode there's a lot new different things now if you are Android auto or an Apple carplay user it does come with wireless Android auto and apple carplay on the screen you can also control your heating so it has automatic dual sink for the heating so you just set the temperature and it's going to automatically adjust the fans to get to this temperature heated steering wheel heated seats air conditioned seats for the summertime and you do have massage seats as well just that added feel of luxury so really neat screen let's hit reverse and there's our backup camera which is going to come on automatically when we put it in reverse you can see the guidance lines are moving moving and then here is our parallel parking mode and there is our wide screen so really neat with the camera there now when you are in park you can also do this 3D view of the car so you can see all of our surroundings here so if you're not sure if you're in the lines or you're too close to a car you can just park it hit the 3D View and you can view it you don't got to get out of the car and check your surroundings you can do it right with the cameras here here's another angle look at that's our front angle so there's a lot of different views and it's a much better backup camera than we've seen in the other Nissan overall this is a really smooth screen here like I said you can do all the different apps you also have the Nissan connect Services if you want to remote start the car from your phone and do things like that you can set up all that now let's check out the changes under the hood we do see Nissan's VC turbo engine here so this one is a 2 L 4 cylinder engine so they went away from the V6 and it's going to give you about 241 horsepower and 260 pounds feet of torque now good news is they went away from the CVT transmission we now have Nissan's 9-speed automatic transmission again that same transmission that's in the Pathfinder your probably hearing me say that a lot but comment what you guys think of the changes to the power plan was it good going with the 2 L with the turbo or should I stuck with Nissan's 3.5 V6 like they had in the previous models so now on the key it does come with the remote starter all you got to do push the lock button twice click and hold the remote start perfect on a day like today where it's really cold you can get the car warmed up for you so right out of the gate the one thing I noticed is the car is a lot quieter than the previous uh model from the the engine noise to the cabin noise it's super quiet let's test out this oh the turbo actually punches really well a lot of power coming from the turbo I did like the power out of the other ones but this one's got a little bit more oh and a little bit more torque when you take off this specific one's going to come with the upgraded sound system being the hot the model you do get the Bose audio sound [Music] system does sound phenomenal and it's going to come with the Serius XM or you can stream your music but overall this is a super comfortable drive Nissan did very well now before I get in the back I want to show you guys this there is a side curtain on your rear passenger Windows that's just going to protect from the UV rays you know keep the car a little cooler but let's check out the back there's 36 in of bedroom these were known for being very comfortable and I have to agree they definitely didn't fall away from the comfort back here we have heated seats two USBS and then we have our elbow rest and a little spot for our phone so kept with the traditional Morano for the back seat really familiar back here and very comfortable let's look at the back here on the top dual shark fin antennas up top there kind of giving it a sporty kind of look really with this blue it kind of does look specifically like a shark fin and Penna and check out the rear here guys Morano is stamped all across the back now we've seen that again coming from the Nissan Rogues and the Pathfinders all-wheel drive Platinum badging rear parking sensors as well they put the license plate Down Below on the last one the license plate was here now it's down below your lift gate and you do have your backup camera here now there is a hatch release button here this is going to be so you can Pop the trunk however in this Platinum model it isn't really needed because you can use the motion activated lift gate and that's going to Pop the trunk so as long as the key is in your pocket there you can pop your foot under there and it's going to open and close you kind of got to find that sweet spot we'll take getting used to you have the memory positioning for the seats you have your wireless charging pad down below and you have the heads up display which is new to the Morano two things that this car that they've added for technology is they've added the propilot assist and they've added the heads up display now they didn't add the propilot assist 2.1 it's just the older propilot assist so it will keep you centered in the lane and a safe distance from the car in front of you and you do have to keep your hands on the wheel we did a demo of the one in the Rogue where you could really drive like handsfree this is still kind of that older version so I'd like to see this in the Morano I would feel if a platinum Rogue has it a platinum Morano should have it as well looks like there's three different Drive modes we got the sport the standard and the Eco I don't see the snow mode like what's in the Nissan Rogues so you don't really need those snow modes with the the all-wheel drive it's going to drive great one day when it snows a lot we'll take this thing out in the snow and do a nice little snow test but overall yeah she goes when you step on it like you can feel it it throws you back a little bit a lot of front end torque now let's check out the trunk now there's a lot of space back here sitting in the trunk as you can see it opens up nice and high and then the seats are going to fold down too you got the levers for the seats it's a 60/40 split give those a push down there and then you have a pretty flat cargo space let's check out under the cover here no spare tire we mentioned this in our Nissan kicks video they give you the kit now you can purchase a spare tire but it doesn't come with one we have a universal garage door right in our review mirror here so you can add up to three garage doors so you don't have to bring around that clunky uh gray remote overall is this better than the toota Crown it's very hard to say we're going to be doing a comparison for you guys between this and the old model but I want you guys to comment like how does this compare to the previous generation definitely a lot more Tech like that's one thing that the other Morano lacked there wasn't a lot of new technology in it I'm happy to see that they brought this to the new age but it's Make It or Break It Here for Nissan so if you guys are a fan of the please put your comments below I know there's a lot of Morano owners who
