Our Detailed Overview of Nissan Murano Safety Features

Our Detailed Overview of Nissan Murano Safety Features

The two-row crossover segment is a hotly contested class. Nearly every automotive brand produces five-passenger SUVs, but many can't compete with the Nissan Murano safety rating and the vehicle's standard safety features. With front and rear collision systems, multiple driver-assist amenities, and advanced passive safety tools built into every Murano trim, the 2024 edition has become a top choice for commuters and families.

Driver-Assistance Technologies

Let's begin our exploration of 2024 Nissan Murano safety systems with the automaker's signature driver-assistance technologies. All four trims, including the limited-available Murano Midnight Edition, come with standard Brake Assist that applies maximum braking power in emergency stopping situations.

Every trim also includes a Blind-Spot Warning system to make highway lane changes safer, plus Active Lane Keep Assist with Intelligent Lane Intervention to gently guide you back to your lane when necessary. Planning to take your 2024 Murano on long road trips? This crossover gives you Intelligent Cruise Control on every trim to help reduce driver fatigue. Once you arrive at your destination, the Murano uses front and rear parking sensors to help guide you into a parking space.

You can also add an optional Dash Cam or Dual-Camera Drive Recorder to any 2024 trim as part of the available Nissan Murano technology packages. These cameras capture activity both automatically and manually, so you'll have evidence inside and around your vehicle in the event of break-ins or hit-and-runs.

Collision Prevention Systems

No matter how safe a driver you are, having collision-prevention systems on deck can help protect you from the negligence of others on the road. Nissan Murano safety features include three top-of-the-line anti-collision programs to help keep you safe, even when other motorists make travel difficult. First, every Murano trim comes with an Intelligent Forward Collision Warning. This system alerts you to a possible crash and uses Automatic Emergency Braking to mitigate the situation.

Secondly, the Murano crossover equips all four trims with a Rear Collision System that combines Rear Cross-Traffic Alert with Rear Automatic Braking. This helps avoid and prevent rear collisions in parking lots and driveways, even when visibility is low. Lastly, the Nissan Murano safety features use Front Pedestrian Detection with Automatic Emergency Braking to make every intersection safer. Your crossover can alert you to the presence of pedestrians and take the necessary steps to avoid hitting them when detected.

Passive Safety Features

In addition to these high-level driver-assist and collision-prevention systems, the 2024 Nissan Murano safety is also enhanced by passive features. For example, its advanced air-bag system comprises driver and passenger air bags for the front, knees, and sides, a rear side-impact air bag, and a curtain air bag for the front and second row. There is also a LATCH system for child-seat safety, robust side door guard beams, and an energy-absorbing steering column that protects the driver from injury in the case of an accident.

To take their passive safety systems to an even higher level, AWD models are equipped with a collapsible propeller shaft that absorbs the energy from an accident, lowering the risk of injury for passengers.
