The Rogue’s 1.5-liter VC-Turbo® engine delivers 201 horsepower and 225 lb.-ft. of torque, giving it confident performance for highway driving, errands and weekend trips.

Nissan Murano: A More Premium SUV Experience

The 2026 Nissan Murano takes the two-row SUV experience in a noticeably more upscale direction.

Its 241-horsepower VC-Turbo® engine is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, while available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive adds extra confidence when New England road conditions change.

Inside, the Murano delivers the kind of comfort and refinement that makes every drive feel more premium, with available features such as quilted leather-appointed seating, massaging front seats and dual 12.3-inch displays.

With seating for up to eight, three-row flexibility and up to 6,000 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped, the Pathfinder gives families the space and capability to handle busy schedules, long trips and weekend adventures.

It offers the room of a larger SUV without moving all the way into full-size territory, making it a strong fit for growing families throughout Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.

Best fit: families who need three rows, flexible passenger space and useful towing capability.
