The Altima isn’t the only model turning to the dark side as Nissan has announced the 2022 Murano is gaining a new Midnight Edition. Based on the mid-level Murano SV, the Midnight Edition embraces the blackout trend as the crossover features a black grille, black exterior trim, and a black accent on the front bumper. The model also rides on special 20-inch alloy wheels with a gloss black finish.
The Midnight Edition package costs US$ 1,395
and will be available with front- and all-wheel drive. It’s also worth noting
the Murano SV gains additional equipment as heated leatherette front seats are
now standard for 2022.
There doesn’t appear to be any other
changes, but pricing has crept up as the entry-level Murano S now begins at US$ 32,910 before a US$ 1,175 destination charge. That’s US$ 100 more than last year,
but the mid-level Murano SV sees a larger price increase of US$ 510. Thankfully,
that’s the exception as both the SL and Platinum trims see an increase of US$ 100.
Regardless of which trim is selected, all
Muranos are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 260 hp and 325 Nm of torque. It’s connected to an Xtronic continuously
variable transmission, which can be paired to an optional all-wheel drive
system for an additional US$ 1,700. The 2022 Nissan Murano is currently arriving
at dealerships and is on sale now.
