Nissan Murano Z52: full exterior and interior dimensions (2021–2026)

Owners and potential buyers of the crossover Nissan Murano generations Z52 (2021–2026) are often faced with the question: is the car suitable for a garage, is it convenient to park in the city, is there enough space for passengers and luggage? The dimensions of this premium SUV play a key role not only in operating comfort, but also in choosing between competitors like Toyota Highlander or Hyundai Santa Fe.

In this article we will analyze in detail all sizes Nissan Murano Z52 — from body length to turning radius, compare them with the previous generation (Z51) and competitive models, and also give practical advice on parking and transporting goods. Particular emphasis is placed on unique features of the Z52, such as a modified wheelbase and increased ground clearance for the Russian market.

Official dimensions of Nissan Murano Z52 (2021–2026)

According to technical documentation Nissan, crossover Murano Z52 belongs to the class mid-size SUVs with an emphasis on comfort and premium quality. Its dimensions are optimized for urban use, while maintaining a spacious interior. Below are the exact data for the version with all-wheel drive (AWD), the most popular in Russia.

Parameter	Value (mm)	Notes
Body length	4 902	25 mm longer than Z51 (2015–2020)
Width (without mirrors)	1 928	Including mirrors - 2,130 mm
Height	1 710	Without roof rails; with rails +30 mm
Wheelbase	2 825	Increased by 20 mm compared to Z51
Ground clearance (ground clearance)	180	For Russia; in the USA and Europe - 165 mm

Particular attention should be paid ground clearance: in the Russian specification it is increased to 180 mm (against 165 mm in the basic version). This decision is related to adaptation to local road conditions, but affects the overall height of the car - it is 15 mm more than in European versions.

⚠️ Attention: When installing winter tires with a high profile (for example, 235/65 R18) ground clearance may decrease by 10–15 mm due to the larger wheel diameter. Keep this in mind when planning off-road trips.

Comparison with the previous generation (Z51) and competitors

To appreciate the evolution Murano, let's compare the dimensions Z52 with predecessor (Z51, 2015–2020) and the main competitors in the class:

• 📏 Nissan Murano Z51 (2015–2020): length 4,887 mm, base 2,825 mm, ground clearance 165 mm. The main difference is the more compact rear overhang of the Z52.
• 🚙 Toyota Highlander (2023): length 4,950 mm, base 2 850 mm. Longer by 48 mm, but with a less spacious trunk.
• 🔹 Hyundai Santa Fe (2026): length 4,785 mm, base 2,780 mm. The short wheelbase affects rear legroom.
• 🔄 Ford Edge (2023): length 4,780 mm, ground clearance 200 mm. Taller, but narrower at the shoulders (width 1,928 mm against 1,940 mm at Edge).

Murano Z52 took an intermediate position: it is longer Santa Fe, but shorter Highlander, while offering one of the most spacious cabins in its class thanks to optimized ergonomics. For example, trunk volume at Z52 amounts to 1 100 l (against 853 l at Santa Fe And 837 l at Highlander in the basic configuration).

Interior and luggage compartment dimensions

Interior space Murano Z52 designed taking into account premium positioning: here the emphasis is on the comfort of passengers in all rows. Let's look at the key parameters:

• 🪑 Front row: legroom - 1,060 mm, width at shoulder level - 1,520 mm. Electric seats (in top versions) allow you to adjust to heights from 150 cm to 195 cm.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Back row: legroom - 980 mm (on 30 mm more than Z51), width - 1,480 mm. Heated and ventilated seats are available in trim levels SL And Platinum.
• 🧳 trunk: volume 1 100 l with the rear seats folded (standard) and 2,090 l with the second row folded. Loading depth - 1,050 mm, width between wheel arches - 1 100 mm.

Feature Murano Z52 — asymmetrical folding trunk floor. Its right side (above the niche for the spare tire) is fixed at two levels, which allows you to transport loads of different heights without losing useful space. For example, when the section is raised, it fits into the trunk 4 suitcases size 24", and when lowered - 2 bicycles in disassembled form.

Parking and maneuverability: turning radius and driveway widths

One of the key questions for owners Murano Z52 — how convenient it is to park in urban areas. Despite its premium status, the crossover retains reasonable maneuverability:

• 🔄 Turning radius: 5.8 m (between curbs). This is the average for the class - for example, Toyota RAV4 he makes up 5.3 m, and Volvo XC60 — 5.9 m.
• 🅿️ Minimum width of parking space: 2.5 m. At the same time, for comfortable opening of doors, it is recommended 2.8 m.
• 🚪 Overhang angles: front overhang - 900 mm, rear - 1,050 mm. This is important to consider when driving onto curbs or parking with your nose to high obstacles.

To make parking easier in Murano Z52 provided:

• 📹 Circular camera (360°) with motion trajectory projection (available in complete sets SV and above).
• 🎯 Parking sensors: 4 front and 4 rear, with audible and visual warning.
• 🅿️ Automatic parking system (optional) - finds a place and controls the steering wheel itself, the driver only needs to control the pedals.

⚠️ Attention: When parking on slopes more than 15° disable the function Auto Hold (if activated) - this will prevent the car from unexpectedly rolling when changing gears.

Activate the rear view camera in advance (button next to the automatic transmission selector)

Disable Auto Hold on inclines

Control overhangs when driving onto a curb (maximum height: 15 cm)

Use the "Park" mode on the automatic transmission only after a complete stop-->

The influence of dimensions on operation: pros and cons

Dimensions Nissan Murano Z52 have both advantages and disadvantages in everyday use. Let's look at them in detail:

Benefits:

• ✅ Spacious salon: thanks to the increased wheelbase (2,825 mm) second-row passengers do not feel cramped even on long trips.
• ✅ Versatility of the trunk: the asymmetrical floor and large volume allow you to transport both household goods and sports equipment.
• ✅ Stability on the highway: wide gauge (1,630 mm front and 1,640 mm rear) provides confident behavior at high speeds.

Disadvantages:

• ❌ Difficulties with parking in cramped yards: length 4.9 m requires maneuvering skills, especially in the absence of a 360° camera.
• ❌ Height restrictions: with roof rails, the car will not pass under most car washes with restrictions 2.0 m.
• ❌ Fuel consumption in the city: due to high drag (area 2.6 m²) consumption for 100 km can reach 12–14 l in traffic jams.

For comparison: Toyota RAV4 (length 4.6 m) spends in the city on 2–3 l smaller, but loses in comfort to rear passengers. Thus, Murano Z52 is a compromise between space and efficiency, where priority is given to the former.

How to measure the dimensions of your Murano Z52 yourself

If you need to know the dimensions of your car (for example, to buy a cover or plan a garage), you can measure them yourself. For this you will need:

• 📏 Roulette or laser rangefinder (more precisely, a mechanical tape measure).
• 📐 Square for checking perpendicularity.
• 🧲 Magnetic level (for measuring clearance).

Procedure:

1. Body length: Measure from the extreme point of the front bumper to the rear bumper in one line (parallel to the ground). Ignore the license plate or tow bar.
2. Width: measure at the most prominent points (usually the side mirrors or wheel arches). For accuracy, take measurements at three levels: on the roof, on the bumpers and on the wheels.
3. Height: from the ground to the highest point of the roof (excluding roof rails and antenna). Use a level to avoid errors due to uneven surfaces.
4. Clearance: Measure the distance from the bottom of the engine guard to the ground. For Murano Z52 it should be no less 170 mm (taking into account suspension sagging).

To check wheelbase Measure the distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels on one side. B Z52 it should be exactly 2,825 mm. Deviation by more than 5 mm may indicate deformation of the body after an accident.

What to do if the dimensions do not match the factory ones?

If your measurements differ from official data by more than 2-3%, this may be a sign of:

- Installation of non-standard wheels or suspension (for example, a lift kit).

- Damage to the body after an accident (especially if the difference is in length or width).

- Errors in measurement (for example, unaccounted cargo in the trunk, affecting ground clearance).

In such cases, it is recommended to check the body geometry at a service station using a bench or 3D scanner.

When choosing winter tires Please note the diameter: the maximum permissible size for Murano Z52 — 235/55 R20. Higher profile (eg. 235/60 R18) may hit the arches when fully loaded.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about the dimensions of the Nissan Murano Z52

❓ Will the Murano Z52 fit in a 2 meter high garage?

Standard height Murano Z52 without roof rails - 1,710 mm, so it will fit in a garage that is tall 2 m with reserve 29 cm. However, if roof rails are installed (+30 mm) or luggage box (+40–50 cm), you will need a garage with a height of at least 2.2–2.3 m.

❓ What is the maximum weight that can be transported in the trunk?

Maximum load on the trunk (including passengers) — 500 kg. In this case, the payload on the car itself is 680 kg (difference between curb and gross weight). For example, if there are 5 passengers in the cabin 80 kg, the trunk can be loaded with up to 280 kg.

❓ Is it possible to install a tow bar on a Murano Z52?

Yes, for Murano Z52 original tow bar provided Nissan (article 999T3-VN000) with permissible load up to 1,500 kg (trailer) and 75 kg onto the ball itself. However, when installing a towbar, the length of the vehicle will increase by 15–20 cm, which is worth considering when parking.

❓ What wheel sizes are suitable for Murano Z52?

Factory wheel sizes:

• 235/65 R18 (basic configurations S And SV)
• 235/55 R20 (configurations SL And Platinum)

It is allowed to install non-standard sizes within the following limits:

• Width: 225–245 mm
• Profile: 50–65%
• Diameter: R17–R20

❓ How does 180 mm ground clearance affect handling?

Increased ground clearance (180 mm in the Russian version) improves cross-country ability on dirt roads, but slightly worsens stability at high speeds (more 140 km/h). The center of gravity shifts upward, so there may be a slight roll on sharp turns. However, the system VDC (dynamics control) compensates for this by braking the wheels.
