How Nissan Engineered the Safest Murano Yet

Crashes happen in an instant. Designing a safe vehicle takes years.

That’s the philosophy behind the all-new 2025 Nissan Murano, which has officially earned the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation, one of the highest honors in automotive safety. This achievement didn’t happen by accident. It was the result of meticulous planning, relentless testing, and a deep-rooted commitment to protecting every passenger, especially those in the back seat.

A New Era of Safety Testing

At the heart of this achievement is Nissan’s $40 million Safety Advancement Lab, located just outside Detroit. Here, engineers run about 400 crash simulations annually. Each test is designed to mimic real-world collisions. From frontal impacts to side crashes and rollover scenarios, the 2025 Murano was pushed to the limits to ensure its safety systems worked exactly as intended.

Rear-Seat Protection Takes the Spotlight

One of the most significant innovations in the 2025 Murano is its enhanced rear-seat protection. Why the focus on the back seat? Recent studies and evolving crash test standards show that rear passengers, especially children, are at increased risk in certain types of collisions. Nissan responded by making rear-seat safety a top priority.

The light-colored rear seats in the 2025 Murano aren’t just stylish. They were engineered with cutting-edge materials, improved restraint systems, and strategic airbag placement. These improvements played a key role in the vehicle’s outstanding performance in the IIHS’s updated moderate overlap front crash test, which places greater emphasis on back-seat passenger safety.

Safety Features That Matter

The 2025 Murano comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield® 360, which includes:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection

• Rear Automatic Braking

• Blind Spot Warning

• Rear Cross Traffic Alert

• Lane Departure Warning

• High Beam Assist

These intelligent driver-assist technologies help you avoid crashes and reflect Nissan’s mission to make driving safer for everyone on the road.

Designed for Families, Built for Confidence

With its spacious cabin, premium materials, and advanced safety features, the 2025 Murano is a top contender for families, commuters, and anyone who values peace of mind. Whether you’re driving solo or with a full cabin, you can trust that the Murano was engineered to protect.
