New Nissan Murano IIHS Top Safety Pick

Every year, the engineers behind your favorite models work hard to refine every feature onboard, and nothing gets more attention than your safety systems. Your safety matters more than anything else, as you might drive multiple cars throughout your lifetime, but you only ever get one life. The new Murano has recently earned the title of IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+, as Nissan continues to show its dedication to designing safe, spacious, and reliable models. If you want to try the Murano out for yourself, then you can visit us at Natchez Nissan today.

The Murano’s Incredible Commitment to Safety

Driving is inherently dangerous, but technology has come a long way since vehicles first hit the road. Seat belts, airbags, and other safety features have made an incredible impact over the years, but you’ll find that most modern advancements tend to fly under the radar. For example, the new 2025 Murano comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360. This gives you a suite of safety systems, including:

  • Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
  • Rear Automatic Braking
  • Blind Spot Warning
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • High Beam Assist

These are just a few of the features that you can expect to be working behind the scenes. Blind Spot Warning can let you know when you’re about to merge into another vehicle, while other features like Automatic Emergency Braking can lend you a helping hand if you aren’t fast enough to react. They all work together so that you can feel confident when you’re placing your kids in the backseat.

Three Nissan SUVs Win Top Safety Pick+

While this article will mostly focus on the Murano, it wasn’t the only Nissan model that got awarded. The 2025 Armada, the 2025 Pathfinder, and the 2025 Murano all received a TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation. This award is even more prestigious now, as the moderate overlap front crash test received a grueling update. If cars want to earn their place as a TOP SAFETY PICK+, then they now have to pass this test with a “Good” score. This just so happens to be the highest score that you can achieve, but these three SUVs managed to pass the test with flying colors. There are a lot of great SUVs out there, but not many of them can match the safety that a Nissan model brings to the table. If you live near Summit, Natchez, or Brandon, and you want to take a closer look at the Murano or one of the other winning SUVs, then you can stop by our lot at Natchez Nissan today.

What Does the Murano Have to Offer?

The Murano comes equipped with a 2.0L VC-Turbo Powertrain that can kick out up to 241 horsepower, so you can expect snappy performance and impressive acceleration. You’ll find that the interior is even more impressive, though, as depending on your trim, you’ll have available features like Quilted Semi-Aniline Leather-Appointed Seats, Massaging Front Seats, Panoramic Moonroof, and more. Other features like Google Built-in give you an edge, as you’ll be able to bring your favorite apps to your touchscreen. If you’re looking for an SUV that will keep your family comfortable, then the Murano is the premier option.
