2026 Nissan Murano SL: Olathe Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: 2026 Nissan Murano SL

SL is the middle trim in the 2026 Murano lineup — $46,760 MSRP, standard all-wheel drive, before the $1,545 destination charge. Over SV, it adds quilted leather-appointed seats with heating for the front seats and steering wheel, a 360-degree HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View camera, 10-speaker Bose Premium Audio, Google built-in, 20-inch dark-painted wheels, and a power liftgate. New for 2026: an optional SL Comfort Package that brings several Platinum-grade features — ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a proximity power liftgate, and 4-way power lumbar — down to this trim as an add-on. One thing SL does NOT get, at any price: the hands-off ProPILOT Assist 2.1 upgrade, which is exclusive to Platinum.

The upgrades that show up every drive

The jump from SV to SL is about $5,090, and most of it goes toward things you notice constantly rather than occasionally. Quilted leather-appointed seating with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel changes the feel of every winter commute; the 10-speaker Bose Premium Audio System, up from SV’s 6 speakers, is a genuine daily-drive upgrade if music or podcasts matter to you. The 360-degree HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor replaces SV’s simple rearview camera with a full surround view — useful in tight parking garages or narrow driveways, which describes a fair amount of Johnson County’s older residential streets. Google built-in adds native Google Maps and Assistant running through the vehicle’s own systems, an alternative to (not a replacement for) the wireless CarPlay and Android Auto every trim already has.

New for 2026: the SL Comfort Package

Nissan added a genuinely useful option at this trim for 2026: the SL Comfort Package, which brings a handful of Platinum-grade comfort features down to SL as an add-on rather than requiring the full jump to the top trim. It includes ventilated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, a proximity (hands-free) power liftgate instead of the standard power/keyfob version, and 4-way power lumbar support for both front seats. If Platinum’s price is more than you want to spend but you want more comfort features than base SL offers, this package is worth pricing out specifically — ask the dealership what it adds to the bottom line before assuming it’s out of reach.

What SL still doesn’t get

Here’s the trap worth knowing before you shop: SL, at any configuration, does not offer the hands-off ProPILOT Assist 2.1 upgrade. Per Nissan’s own spec table, that feature — bundled with Active Monitoring and ProPILOT Emergency Stop with e-call — is exclusive to Platinum, and even there it’s an optional add-on called the Platinum Technology Package rather than standard equipment. SL tops out at hands-on ProPILOT Assist, the same adaptive cruise and lane-centering system SV has. If hands-off freeway driving specifically is what you’re after, the Platinum guide covers what that actually requires.

What buyers say

Multiple Murano owners at Nissan of Olathe describe a service relationship that outlasts the sale by years. Nicholas Potenski, after servicing a Murano at this dealership for over seven years: “They have the best service techs and staff that I have ever worked with, polite, honest, and cheerful!” Susan Patton described a similar long-run pattern: “I have had nothing but excellent service in the 10 years that I have been going to McCarthy Nissan. I bought my Murano from them & have taken it there for all its routine maintenance.” That kind of multi-year loyalty tends to track leather-and-tech trims like SL more than base trims, since owners who spend more up front often stay for the maintenance relationship too.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 2026 Murano SL cost?

MSRP is $46,760, AWD standard, before the $1,545 destination charge and Kansas taxes. The pricing guide covers the complete out-the-door math.

Can I get ProPILOT Assist 2.1 on an SL?

No. Per Nissan’s official specifications, the hands-off ProPILOT Assist 2.1 upgrade is available only on Platinum, and even there it’s an optional package rather than standard. SL is limited to hands-on ProPILOT Assist.

What’s included in the new SL Comfort Package?

Ventilated/cooled front seats, heated rear seats, a proximity power liftgate, and 4-way power lumbar support for driver and passenger — all optional add-ons new for the 2026 model year.

Is SL worth the jump over SV?

If leather, the 360-degree camera, or the Bose audio system matter to you, yes — those are the trim’s headline upgrades. If none of those are priorities, SV covers the core safety and tech features at a lower price.

Where can I see an SL in person?

Nissan of Olathe stocks current-year SL models; check live inventory or start financing online first.

The bottom line

SL is the trim built for buyers who want leather, better audio, and real parking-camera coverage without paying Platinum money — and for 2026, the new Comfort Package makes it more configurable than it’s ever been. Just don’t buy an SL expecting hands-off highway driving; that feature lives one trim up, and even there it costs extra.
