Safety has become one of the most important considerations when shopping for a new midsize SUV. Drivers want more than airbags and seatbelts; they expect intelligent technology that can help monitor traffic, reduce driving fatigue, and provide greater confidence in everyday situations. The 2026 Murano delivers exactly that, combining advanced driver assistance systems with refined performance, premium comfort, and innovative connectivity.

Designed to handle everything from busy city streets to long highway journeys and changing Canadian weather, the Murano offers a well-rounded suite of technologies that help protect drivers, passengers, and everyone sharing the road. Whether you're commuting across Calgary, heading to the mountains, or navigating winter roads, the Murano provides intelligent support without compromising driving enjoyment.

Nissan Safety Shield® 360 Comes Standard

At the heart of the 2026 Nissan Murano's safety package is Nissan Safety Shield® 360, a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance technologies that continuously monitor the vehicle's surroundings. Using cameras, radar sensors, and advanced software, these systems are designed to alert the driver to potential hazards and, when necessary, automatically intervene to help reduce the severity of a collision or avoid one altogether.

Key Safety Shield® 360 features include:

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

Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection can detect vehicles and pedestrians ahead and automatically apply the brakes if the driver does not respond to an imminent collision warning. Rear Automatic Braking provides similar protection while reversing, helping avoid obstacles hidden behind the vehicle.

Blind Spot Warning monitors adjacent lanes and alerts the driver when another vehicle enters a blind spot, while Rear Cross Traffic Alert helps detect approaching traffic when backing out of parking spaces with limited visibility. Lane Departure Warning provides audible and visual alerts if the vehicle unintentionally drifts from its lane, and High Beam Assist automatically switches between high and low beams to maximize visibility without affecting oncoming drivers.

Together, these technologies help create a safer and more confident driving experience in both urban and highway environments.

ProPILOT Assist Makes Highway Travel Less Stressful

One of the most impressive technologies is the available ProPILOT Assist system. Designed to make highway driving more comfortable, ProPILOT Assist combines Intelligent Cruise Control with steering assistance to help maintain a preset speed, keep a safe following distance, and provide gentle steering support to help keep the vehicle centred within its lane.

The system can automatically adjust speed based on surrounding traffic and even slow the vehicle during congestion, then accelerate again as traffic begins moving. While drivers must always remain attentive and keep their hands on the steering wheel, ProPILOT Assist significantly reduces fatigue during long-distance travel.

For Alberta drivers who frequently commute between Calgary, Banff, Canmore, or Edmonton, this technology makes extended highway journeys more relaxing while maintaining an extra layer of driver support.

Intelligent Visibility Enhances Driver Awareness

The 2026 Murano includes several visibility-enhancing technologies that improve awareness in situations where traditional mirrors may not provide a complete view.

The available Intelligent Around View® Monitor uses multiple exterior cameras to generate a virtual 360-degree overhead image of the vehicle. This bird's-eye perspective makes parking in tight spaces and maneuvering around obstacles considerably easier.

Additional visibility features include:

• Intelligent Rear View Mirror
• Front and Rear Parking Sensors
• Moving Object Detection
• Automatic LED Headlights
• LED Daytime Running Lights
• Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers

The Intelligent Rear View Mirror can display a live camera feed from the rear of the vehicle, providing a clearer view when cargo or rear passengers obstruct the conventional mirror. Parking sensors and Moving Object Detection help alert drivers to nearby objects and pedestrians while parking, improving confidence in crowded lots.

Automatic LED headlights adapt to changing lighting conditions, while rain-sensing wipers automatically activate when moisture is detected, allowing drivers to focus more on the road.

Advanced Driver Monitoring and Assistance Technologies

Beyond collision prevention, the 2026 Murano includes several intelligent systems that help drivers remain alert and maintain better control.

Available driver assistance technologies include:

• Intelligent Driver Alertness
• Traffic Sign Recognition
• Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
• Intelligent Cruise Control
• Hill Start Assist
• Vehicle Dynamic Control
• Traction Control System

Intelligent Driver Alertness monitors steering inputs and driving behaviour to identify signs of fatigue and recommend breaks when necessary. Traffic Sign Recognition displays detected speed limits and other important road signs within the digital instrument cluster, helping drivers stay informed.

Intelligent Forward Collision Warning goes beyond monitoring the vehicle immediately ahead by tracking traffic two vehicles in front, providing earlier alerts if sudden braking occurs. When combined with Intelligent Cruise Control, these systems help reduce stress during stop-and-go traffic and on highways.

Hill Start Assist prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards when starting on steep inclines, while Vehicle Dynamic Control and Traction Control continuously adjust braking and engine power to help maintain stability on slippery roads.

Confident Performance for Canadian Conditions

The Murano's driving confidence extends beyond technology. Its responsive powertrain and refined chassis are engineered to provide smooth, predictable performance in a variety of driving conditions.

The SUV features a turbocharged engine paired with a smooth automatic transmission, delivering responsive acceleration while maintaining efficient fuel economy. The available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system continuously monitors road conditions and automatically distributes power between the front and rear wheels when additional traction is needed.

Whether encountering snow-covered highways, rain-soaked streets, or gravel roads outside the city, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive enhances stability without requiring driver intervention.

Multiple Drive Modes allow drivers to tailor vehicle performance to changing conditions, optimizing throttle response and drivetrain behaviour for greater confidence throughout the year.

Premium Interior Technology Keeps Drivers Connected

Safety also means minimizing distractions. The Murano's thoughtfully designed cabin integrates advanced technology to help drivers stay connected while keeping their attention on the road.

Interior technology highlights include:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system
• 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster
• Wireless Apple CarPlay®
• Android Auto™ compatibility
• Google built-in
• Wireless smartphone charging
• Bose® premium audio system
• Multiple USB-C charging ports
• Voice recognition controls
• Navigation with real-time information

The large digital displays provide crisp graphics and customizable information, allowing drivers to easily access navigation, vehicle settings, safety alerts, and entertainment functions. Wireless smartphone integration eliminates cable clutter, while voice commands allow many functions to be operated hands-free.

Google built-in provides seamless access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and compatible apps, making route planning and voice interaction even more intuitive.

Strong Safety Structure Provides Additional Protection

In addition to its advanced electronic safety systems, the 2026 Nissan Murano is engineered with a reinforced body structure that absorbs and redirects crash energy away from occupants.

The SUV also features:

• Advanced airbag system
• Three-point seatbelts for all seating positions
• LATCH child-seat anchors
• Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Easy-Fill Tire Alert
• Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
• Electronic Brake-force Distribution
• Brake Assist

These foundational safety technologies work alongside the Murano's driver assistance systems to help provide comprehensive occupant protection in a wide range of driving situations.
