THE SHORT ANSWER
Stepping up through the 2027 Nissan Murano trim lineup increases interior comfort, visual flair, and technology while keeping core performance consistent. Every trim shares a 241-horsepower engine and standard all-wheel drive, meaning higher trims like the SL, Dark Armor, and Platinum focus on upgrading cabin luxury and exterior style rather than changing how the vehicle handles.

Shopping for a midsize crossover on Long Island often comes down to choosing the right set of features for your daily commute. The 2027 Nissan Murano offers four distinct trim levels, each building on a solid foundation of power and all-weather traction. At Krishna Nissan in Greenvale, we help drivers compare these options side by side so you can pick the model that fits your lifestyle.
