2026 Nissan Murano SV: Olathe Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: 2026 Nissan Murano SV

SV is the entry trim in the 2026 Murano lineup — $41,670 MSRP, standard all-wheel drive, before the $1,545 destination charge. It’s not a stripped-down car: Nissan Safety Shield 360 driver-assist tech, a 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charging, and a panoramic moonroof for both rows come standard, along with 20-inch gloss-black wheels. What SV doesn’t get: leather, the 360-degree camera, and the 10-speaker Bose system that SL adds. For a lot of buyers cross-shopping this segment, SV is the trim that proves you don’t need to spend to the top to get a genuinely well-equipped midsize SUV.

What’s actually standard here

SV’s equipment list reads better than “base trim” usually implies. Nissan Safety Shield 360 covers automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert with automatic braking, and lane departure warning — the same safety suite every Murano trim gets, not something reserved for higher grades. The 12.3-inch NissanConnect touchscreen runs wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (no cable required), and it’s paired with a matching 12.3-inch reconfigurable digital gauge cluster. The panoramic moonroof covers both rows, not just the front seats, and Prima-Tex seating (Nissan’s synthetic leather-look material) comes standard rather than cloth. Add wireless front-seat phone charging and 20-inch gloss-black aluminum-alloy wheels, and SV covers most of what a buyer actually interacts with day to day.

Where SV draws the line

The gaps versus SL are specific rather than vague: SV runs a 6-speaker sound system instead of SL’s 10-speaker Bose setup, an HD RearView Monitor instead of the 360-degree Around View camera, and Prima-Tex instead of SL’s quilted leather-appointed seats. There’s no heated steering wheel or heated front seats at this trim, and Google built-in — native Google Maps and Assistant running through the vehicle’s own systems — isn’t available on SV at all; it starts at SL. None of that makes SV a bad choice, but if any single item on that list is a must-have, it’s worth reading the SL guide before you decide.

All-wheel drive, standard

Unlike the 2025 model year, there’s no front-wheel-drive version of the 2026 SV to save money on — Intelligent All-Wheel Drive comes standard across the entire Murano lineup this year. That’s a real change if you were expecting a lower FWD starting price based on last year’s pricing; the $41,670 MSRP already includes AWD. EPA estimates are 21 city, 27 highway, 23 combined, identical to SL and Platinum since the powertrain and drivetrain don’t change by trim.

What buyers say about the entry-level experience

Reviews of Murano buyers at Nissan of Olathe consistently mention a low-pressure sales process regardless of which trim they bought. Erin Nolan, describing her Murano purchase: “Matt Epley was a very knowledgeable and attentive salesman! We found a great deal on a Murano that we love.” Karri McKinsey wrote about a similarly smooth process: “Came in with a pretty big request but Robbie Foster delivered! I love my new Murano! Staff was very easy to work with!” Neither review mentions a specific trim, but the pattern — informed salespeople, no pressure, a buyer who ends up genuinely happy with the car — shows up across price points at this dealership, not just on the priciest trim.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 2026 Murano SV cost?

MSRP is $41,670, AWD standard, before the $1,545 destination charge and Kansas taxes. The pricing guide covers the complete math.

Does SV come with front-wheel drive to save money?

No — every 2026 Murano trim, including SV, comes standard with all-wheel drive. There’s no lower-cost FWD configuration this year.

What’s the biggest thing SV doesn’t have that SL does?

The 10-speaker Bose Premium Audio System and the 360-degree HD Enhanced Intelligent Around View camera are the two most noticeable gaps — SV runs 6-speaker audio and a standard rearview camera instead.

Is SV a good value?

For buyers who don’t specifically want leather or the upgraded stereo, yes — SV carries the full Safety Shield 360 suite, the same 12.3-inch touchscreen and digital cluster as every other trim, and a full-length panoramic moonroof at the lowest price point in the lineup.

The bottom line

SV is the Murano for buyers who want the redesigned car’s real substance — the safety suite, the screens, the moonroof, standard AWD — without paying for leather and a stereo upgrade they might not need. It’s the volume trim for a reason, and it doesn’t feel like a compromise to sit in.
