2026 Nissan Murano Platinum: Olathe Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: 2026 Nissan Murano Platinum

Platinum is the top trim in the 2026 Murano lineup — $49,800 MSRP, standard all-wheel drive, before the $1,545 destination charge. It adds 21-inch machine-finished wheels, semi-aniline leather with 4-way power lumbar AND massage for both driver and passenger, standard ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, rain-detecting wipers, and the 10-speaker Bose audio system standard. Platinum is also the ONLY trim with any path to ProPILOT Assist 2.1, Nissan’s hands-off freeway driving system — but even here, it’s not standard equipment. It’s an optional add-on Nissan calls the Platinum Technology Package, so confirm it’s actually on the vehicle you’re looking at rather than assuming every Platinum has it.

Where the extra money goes

The jump from SL to Platinum is about $3,040, and it lands mostly in materials and comfort rather than new technology categories. Semi-aniline leather — a softer, more natural-feeling leather than the quilted leather-appointed material on SL — comes with 4-way power lumbar support AND a massage function for both the driver and front passenger, a genuine step up on longer drives. Ventilated and cooled front seats and heated rear seats, which are optional add-ons on SL through the Comfort Package, come standard here. Rain-detecting wipers, 21-inch machine-finished wheels, and the auto-dimming rearview mirror round out the list. The 10-speaker Bose system that’s optional-feeling elsewhere is simply standard at this trim, no package required.

The ProPILOT 2.1 trap

Here’s the detail worth getting right before you shop: Platinum is the only Murano trim that can be equipped with ProPILOT Assist 2.1 — the system that allows hands-off driving on compatible freeways, along with Lane Change Assist that can help you pass slower traffic. But per Nissan’s own specifications, it is NOT standard equipment even on Platinum. It’s bundled into an optional Platinum Technology Package alongside Active Monitoring (an upgraded driver-attention system) and ProPILOT Emergency Stop with e-call. If hands-off driving is a must-have for you, don’t assume it’s included — ask specifically whether the Platinum you’re looking at has the Technology Package, because plenty of Platinum trims on a lot won’t.

Standard vs. what you’re used to seeing elsewhere

Because the Technology Package is optional, a base Platinum and a Platinum with every box checked can feel meaningfully different behind the wheel — the base car still gets hands-on ProPILOT Assist (the same system SV and SL have), just not the hands-off upgrade. Everything else on this page — the leather, the massage seats, the wheels, the Bose system — is genuinely standard, no package needed. That split is worth understanding clearly since it’s easy to assume a top trim comes with every available feature by default.

What buyers say about Nissan of Olathe

Reviews of Murano buyers who’ve stuck with this dealership across multiple purchases and years describe consistent treatment regardless of trim level. Robert Barker, describing his fourth vehicle purchase from the same salesperson since 2011: “Salesman, Orlando Lagunas, is outstanding in his field, hence the reason for my continued patronage… I look forward to my [next] Murano.” Orlando Lagunas is now the dealership’s Owner Loyalty Manager and signs his own review replies — about as verified a staff credit as a review can offer. Cheryl Morgan, describing her purchase experience: “Jessie was very helpful when teaching me about the different technology on my 2017 Nissan Murano.” That kind of feature walkthrough matters more on a Platinum than on any other trim in the lineup — between the massage seats, the 21-inch wheels, and a possible Technology Package, there’s genuinely more to learn on delivery day than on an SV.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 2026 Murano Platinum cost?

MSRP is $49,800, AWD standard, before the $1,545 destination charge and Kansas taxes. The pricing guide covers the complete math.

Does every Platinum come with ProPILOT Assist 2.1?

No. It’s an optional add-on called the Platinum Technology Package, not standard equipment even on the top trim. Confirm whether a specific vehicle has it before assuming.

What’s the biggest difference between Platinum and SL?

Semi-aniline leather with massage seats (standard on Platinum, not available at all on SL), ventilated front seats and heated rear seats standard rather than optional, and the exclusive path to ProPILOT Assist 2.1 — even though that specific feature costs extra.

Is Platinum worth the extra cost over SL?

If the massage seats, standard ventilated/heated comfort features, or the possibility of hands-off freeway driving matter to you, yes. If not, SL with the optional Comfort Package covers similar ground for less.

The bottom line

Platinum is the Murano built for buyers who want the nicest materials and the most comfort features standard, with the option — not the guarantee — of hands-off highway driving on top. It’s a genuinely upscale midsize SUV at this trim, but read the window sticker carefully before assuming every box is checked.
