2024 Nissan Murano basically unchanged except for one thing you can guess

Tell us if you've heard the one about the automaker that cuts the entry-level trim, raising the cost of entry to a model by a few thousand. Well, here it is again, Nissan doing away with the Murano S for the 2024 model year. That leaves the SV, SL, and Platinum, and a roughly $3,000 jump from the erstwhile S to the new lowest rung on the Murano price ladder. The only other alteration is the SL trim getting a powered panoramic roof standard. Pricing for 2024 after the $1,335 destination fee, and differences from last year, are:

• SV: $39,255 ($760)

• SL: $43,215 ($760)

• Platinum: $47,625 ($1,120)

The destination charge rising from $1,295 to $1,335 is responsible for $40 of the difference.

Every Murano is still powered by a 3.5-liter V6 making 260-horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable transmission belts out power from the engine to the front wheels in standard form. Adding all-wheel drive to any trim puts another $1,700 on the bottom line. Every Murano also gets Nissan Safety Shield 360, which installs automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, automatic high-beam assist, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert and reverse automatic braking. There's an intelligent forward collision warning system as well, which Nissan says is a class exclusive.
