2027 Nissan Murano Technology & Infotainment Features
The 2027 Nissan Murano features dual 12.3-inch displays with Google built-in on Dark Armor and Platinum trims. This is a step beyond wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which are standard across all three trims. This page covers how the tech works, which trims include it, and where to see it in Fort Worth.
Feature Overview: What the Dual Displays and Google Built-In Actually Deliver
The 2027 Murano's cabin centers on what Nissan calls the Monolith Display, a seamless side-by-side arrangement of two 12.3-inch screens that span the dashboard in a single, cinema-style panel. One screen handles infotainment, the other handles driver information. Neither requires a bezel break between them, which gives the interior a clean, upscale look that belongs in a category above the Murano's price point.
Google built-in goes further than mirroring your phone. It runs Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play directly through the vehicle's system, without requiring a connected phone. That means Google Maps updates in real time using the car's own data connection, and voice commands through Google Assistant work whether your phone is in your pocket or left at the office entirely.
2027 Murano full specs and trims
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on the SL, Dark Armor, and Platinum trims, ensuring all Murano buyers get phone-mirroring capability from day one. Google built-in is an upgrade that lives on top of that, available on the two upper trims.
How It Works: Google Built-In Explained in Plain Terms
Google built-in is not a phone-projection system. It is an embedded operating system that runs inside the Murano's 12.3-inch infotainment screen using a built-in data connection tied to the NissanConnect Services platform.
Here is what that means in practice. When you ask Google Assistant to find a gas station, it pulls live results from Google's servers, not a cached map. When you start navigating to a destination in Fort Worth, Google Maps routes around real-time traffic on I-35W or Loop 820 without you touching your phone. When you want to stream a playlist, Google Play handles it through the car's own connection.
The dual-screen layout separates these functions cleanly. Navigation and media occupy the infotainment display on the right. Speed, trip data, safety alerts from ProPILOT Assist, and driver information occupy the instrument cluster display on the left. Drivers keep their eyes in one zone rather than scanning across the cabin.

Haptic touch controls on the infotainment screen respond with physical feedback, so you know a command registered without looking away from the road. The system also supports time-of-day background themes, so the display adjusts its visual tone from a bright daytime palette to a dimmer nighttime layout automatically.
An available Head-Up Display on upper trims can project key navigation and speed data onto the windshield, creating a third layer of information that keeps the driver's eyes at road level.
Across the Trims: Which Murano Gets Google Built-In
The 2027 Murano lineup has three trims, all AWD.
SL AWD
includes the NissanConnect 12.3-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A six-speaker audio system is standard. Google built-in is not included on this trim. The SL still delivers the full dual-display layout and wireless phone integration, making it a solid entry into the Monolith Display experience.
Dark Armor AWD
adds Google built-in to the NissanConnect 12.3-inch system, stepping up to a ten-speaker Bose Premium Audio System. This trim also gets gloss black 21-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and a blacked-out exterior treatment, so it pairs the boldest exterior styling with the most connected infotainment setup outside of the Platinum.
Platinum AWD
matches the Dark Armor's Google built-in and Bose audio and adds the option for ProPILOT Assist 2.1 (hands-off, foot-off highway driving) as part of the Platinum Tech Package. The Platinum also offers 3D Enhanced Intelligent Around View Monitor and Active Monitoring as part of that package, making it the trim where the tech ecosystem reaches its fullest form. Quilted semi-aniline leather-appointed seats and climate-controlled massaging front seats round out the Platinum cabin.
All three trims include the NissanConnect Services platform with a 5-year Select trial and a 1-year Premium trial, covering remote engine start, vehicle status, and My Car Finder through the MyNISSAN app.
Real-World Benefit: What This Tech Does on an Actual Drive
Consider a typical weekday in Fort Worth. You start the Murano remotely from the MyNISSAN app, the climate sets itself, and by the time you sit down the 12.3-inch screens are live. You say "Hey Google, navigate to downtown Fort Worth" without touching anything. Google Maps calculates a route around the downtown interchange and pins your arrival time. The Bose system (on Dark Armor and Platinum) fills the cabin with your preferred playlist pulled from Google Play, and the driver display keeps your speed and lane-centering status from ProPILOT Assist visible at all times.
On longer drives, say from Fort Worth toward Dallas or heading out on I-20 west, Google Maps handles the full route live, rerouting around incidents without prompting. The Head-Up Display (available on upper trims) keeps navigation arrows on the windshield so you never drop your eyes to the dashboard.
For passengers, the 12.3-inch infotainment screen is large enough to read easily from the front passenger seat. Available 64-color ambient LED interior lighting sets a cabin mood that pairs with whatever content is on screen. Zero Gravity Seats, which Nissan positions as class-exclusive for both front and rear positions, hold occupants in a posture designed to reduce fatigue on extended drives.
The wireless charging pad means your phone stays topped off the entire time. No cables. The Qi2 wireless charger standard on the SL ensures the connection is fast, not just convenient.
How It Compares: Murano's Dual Displays Against the Segment
Most midsize SUVs offer a single infotainment touchscreen paired with a separate, smaller digital instrument cluster. The Murano's approach of two matched 12.3-inch panels in a single visual plane is a differentiator in this segment.
Google built-in as an embedded operating system is still not universal in this price range. Many competitors offer Android Auto projection, which mirrors your phone but depends on your phone's processor and battery. Google built-in on the Murano runs independently of your phone, which matters on long drives or when your phone battery is low.
The Bose ten-speaker Premium Audio System on Dark Armor and Platinum trims is also a segment-relevant upgrade at this price level, and it integrates directly with the Google Play audio pipeline so streaming quality is handled through the vehicle's speakers without compression from a Bluetooth connection.
No other competitor in this class is offered with the VC-Turbo variable compression engine, which pairs with the 9-speed automatic transmission to deliver 241 hp. That mechanical foundation supports the tech-forward cabin by ensuring the drive itself matches the sophistication of what is on the screens.

The Monolith Display layout and Google built-in are features that communicate better in person than in a spec sheet. The dual 12.3-inch screens fill the dashboard in a way that photos undersell, and the Google Assistant integration is faster to understand through a five-minute demo than a two-page explanation. Fort Worth Nissan carries 2027 Murano inventory across the SL, Dark Armor, and Platinum trims. Check current availability below, then schedule time behind the wheel.
