The New Nissan Murano in Dalton, GA is a premium 2-row SUV with a 2.0L VC-Turbo engine (241 hp, 260 lb-ft), standard Intelligent AWD, up to 21/27/23 mpg (city/highway/combined), Nissan Safety Shield 360, and a serene, upscale cabin ideal for commuting on Walnut Avenue and I-75 or weekending toward Chatsworth.
The 2026 Murano pairs a 2.0-liter VC-Turbo engine (241 hp, 260 lb-ft) with a 9-speed automatic and standard Intelligent AWD, delivering strong passing power on I-75 while still achieving an EPA-estimated 21/27/23 mpg—ideal for Dalton and North Georgia commuters who need both performance and efficiency.
Under the sculpted hood, the Murano’s VC-Turbo engine continuously adjusts its compression ratio to deliver strong torque when you need it and improved efficiency when you are cruising—ideal for Whitfield County drivers who spend plenty of time on I-75. A new 9-speed automatic replaces the old CVT for a more traditional, responsive feel, while steering-wheel paddle shifters and selectable drive modes (including Sport and Eco) let you tailor the drive for hill climbs toward Chatsworth or fuel-conscious trips across town.
Comfort matches the performance. With 112.0 cubic feet of passenger volume in SV trims, Zero Gravity-inspired seats, 44.3 inches of front legroom, and 36.3 inches in the second row, adults stay comfortable on regular drives between Dalton and Ringgold. The suspension and acoustic glass help smooth bumps and reduce road noise so Walnut Avenue traffic feels calmer and more refined.
Cargo space remains versatile, with 32.9 cubic feet behind the second row for suitcases, groceries, or sports gear, and up to 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat—enough for larger items like a 65-inch TV or camping gear. An available motion-activated liftgate on SL and standard on Platinum adds hands-free convenience when your arms are full.
Inside, the premium 2-row SUV character of the Murano shows through a refined, minimalist cabin with available semi-aniline leather, massaging front seats, 64-color ambient lighting, and dual 12.3-inch displays that keep Dalton drivers connected without clutter or cables.
A seamless tech layout anchors the dash, combining a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 12.3-inch touch-screen. With available Google built-in, you can access Google Maps, Google Assistant, and select Google Play apps right in the vehicle for real-time directions and quick voice-guided searches—no phone required. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, allowing you to keep your phone on the wireless charging pad and maintain a clean, cable-free console.
An available Bose 10-speaker audio system, tuned specifically for the Murano, delivers rich, balanced sound for podcasts on the way to Chattanooga or playlists on late-night drives back to Whitfield County. Thoughtful storage details keep the cabin both upscale and practical, with hidden front storage for small items, a deep center console sized for a tablet, and rear storage pockets and USB-C ports to help keep school runs, grocery trips, and weekend drives toward Chatsworth organized.
Driving in and around Dalton often means tight lots, school zones, and merging traffic. Standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 helps by using cameras, radar, and sonar to monitor the front, sides, and rear. Automatic Emergency Braking can respond if a vehicle ahead slows suddenly, while Rear Automatic Braking and Rear Cross Traffic Alert assist when backing out of busy parking spaces.
On the highway, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Lane Intervention, and Intelligent Forward Collision Warning help you stay aware of surrounding traffic and lane position—added confidence for North Georgia families on I-75.
Available ProPILOT Assist further supports daily commuting by combining Intelligent Cruise Control with steering assist to help maintain speed, following distance, and lane centering on compatible highways. ProPILOT Assist 2.1 (available via the Platinum Technology Package) can even enable hands-off freeway driving in certain conditions to reduce fatigue on longer trips.
Parking and low-speed maneuvering are easier with the available Invisible Hood View and 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor, which provides a virtual 360-degree view and specialized angles to help avoid curbs and navigate tight downtown Dalton spaces.
