2026 Nissan Murano: Olathe Pricing & Leasing Guide

Quick Answer: What a 2026 Murano Costs in Olathe

2026 Murano MSRPs run from $41,670 (SV) to $49,800 (Platinum), all before a $1,545 destination and handling charge — and unlike some Nissan models, there’s no drivetrain choice to shop between, since every 2026 Murano comes standard with all-wheel drive. From there, Kansas adds its 6.5% state sales tax plus city and county add-ons that bring the combined rate in the Olathe area to roughly 10.5%, and Johnson County collects an annual vehicle property tax at registration renewal based on the car’s assessed value — different from a flat excise fee, and worth checking on the county’s own calculator before you buy. Nissan and Nissan of Olathe both run incentives that change monthly; this guide walks through every line between MSRP and what you actually sign for.

Start with the MSRP table

Here’s every trim Nissan currently offers on the 2026 Murano, MSRP only, before destination — and notice there’s only one number per trim, since AWD is the only configuration available this year:

  • SV — $41,670 (AWD standard)
  • SL — $46,760 (AWD standard)
  • Platinum — $49,800 (AWD standard)

Add $1,545 destination and handling to every one of those numbers — Nissan states plainly that MSRP excludes it, and the dealer sets the actual selling price from there. One thing worth flagging directly if you’ve been shopping across model years: the 2025 Murano offered front-wheel drive as a lower-cost starting point on SV and SL. That configuration is gone for 2026 — every trim is AWD-only now, which is part of why SV’s starting price moved up compared to what you may find referenced in older articles.

What Kansas and Johnson County add

  • State and local sales tax. Kansas charges a 6.5% state sales tax on vehicle purchases, and Olathe’s city and Johnson County rates stack on top of it — combined rates in the Olathe area have run in the roughly 10.5% range through 2026, though local rates do change, so confirm the exact figure at time of purchase rather than assuming it’s fixed.
  • Annual vehicle property tax. Kansas doesn’t use a flat annual excise the way some states do — instead, Johnson County assesses an annual property tax on the vehicle each year at registration renewal, based on the car’s value on a state depreciation schedule. Because the Murano’s MSRP runs meaningfully higher than something like a Rogue or Sentra, its property tax bill will run higher too, at least in the early years before depreciation catches up. The Kansas Department of Revenue’s vehicle property tax lookup tool lets you estimate this by year, make, and model before you buy.
  • Title, registration, and tag fees. Standard Johnson County Treasury fees apply at purchase and each renewal; Johnson County’s Treasury, Taxation and Vehicles department handles both and offers online renewal.
  • What’s already built into the deal. Every 2026 Murano carries Nissan’s 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty at no extra charge — real protection that quietly offsets the true cost of the first few years of ownership, and worth factoring in when you compare the Murano’s price against a non-Nissan competitor with a shorter warranty.

The optional packages that move the number

Two 2026-specific options are worth pricing out before you finalize a deal. On SL, the new Comfort Package adds ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a proximity power liftgate, and 4-way power lumbar — features that are otherwise standard only on Platinum. On Platinum, the Technology Package adds ProPILOT Assist 2.1 hands-off freeway driving, Active Monitoring, and ProPILOT Emergency Stop with e-call — and it’s genuinely optional, not something every Platinum on the lot will have. Ask for the exact package pricing on the specific vehicle you’re looking at rather than assuming either option is baked into the trim’s base MSRP.

Offers change monthly — stack them deliberately

Nissan rebuilds its national incentive programs — APR offers, lease support, loyalty and conquest cash — on a monthly cycle, and Nissan of Olathe layers its own specials on top through the dealership’s specials pages. The practical move is the same one that applies everywhere: ask what you specifically qualify for — loyalty, military, recent-grad, or a specific credit tier — rather than assuming the advertised headline rate is the only number on the table. Given how many Murano buyers at this dealership are repeat customers (some going back multiple vehicle generations), loyalty pricing is worth asking about directly if you’ve bought here before.

Lease or buy a Murano in Olathe?

A Murano that mostly handles a Johnson County commute and family errands is a reasonable lease candidate — predictable mileage, a fresh warranty every few years, and a lower monthly payment than financing the same trim outright. Buying tends to make more sense if your annual mileage runs high (leases cap it, and overage fees add up) or if you plan to keep the vehicle well past the powertrain warranty, the way a number of this dealership’s long-tenure Murano owners clearly have. Either way, Kansas’s annual vehicle property tax follows the registration whether you lease or finance, so it’s a cost to budget for regardless of structure.

What actually moves your monthly number

Same car, same trim, different payments — the gap is almost always one of four things: credit tier (advertised rates assume the strongest approval), term length and annual mileage on a lease, money down, and trade equity. That last one is worth emphasizing here specifically — a meaningful share of Murano buyers at this dealership are trading in a previous Murano, sometimes their third or fourth, and that trade equity can move the monthly number more than any advertised incentive.

What buyers say about the price conversation

Mark Hotle described his Murano purchase negotiation directly: “When it came to negotiating the price and financing options, the salesman continued to display professionalism and transparency. He presented me with different financing options and explained the terms clearly, allowing me to make an informed decision.” Elizabeth Rush described a similar experience buying used: “I highly recommend requesting him by name… Aside from the exemplary service, I also received a great deal on a Nissan Murano, and a great price for my trade-in.” Not every review is about the sales floor — the honest feedback that exists tends to focus on specific line items like a billing question, which is worth asking about directly rather than being surprised by it later.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a 2026 Murano cost out the door in Olathe?

Start with the MSRP for your trim, add the $1,545 destination charge, then Kansas and local sales tax (roughly 10.5% combined in the Olathe area, though confirm the current rate), plus title and registration fees. Current Nissan and dealer offers reduce that number — check the specials page for what’s live right now.

What does Nissan Murano lease pricing look like right now?

It changes monthly, so the only honest answer is the current one — lease support resets on Nissan’s national cycle, and Nissan of Olathe posts current terms on its specials pages. Build your quote around your actual credit tier, term, and mileage rather than a generic advertised number.

Is there a front-wheel-drive Murano to save money?

No — every 2026 trim is AWD-only. FWD was available on the 2025 model year but has been discontinued for 2026.

What’s the Kansas vehicle property tax, and when do I pay it?

It’s an annual tax assessed by Johnson County based on the vehicle’s value on a state depreciation schedule, paid at initial registration and again at each renewal — not a one-time purchase fee. The state’s lookup tool lets you estimate it before you buy.

Can I finance or start paperwork online?

Yes — Nissan of Olathe offers online shopping and financing applications, plus contact-free buying with home delivery for buyers who’d rather not do the whole process in person.

The bottom line

Murano pricing in Olathe is MSRP plus destination, plus Kansas and Johnson County’s tax structure, minus whatever the current month’s incentives and your own trade and credit position bring to the table. The MSRPs above are fixed for now — the two optional packages (SL Comfort, Platinum Technology) are the real variables worth pricing out specifically before you sign.
