What Fits in a 2027 Nissan Murano With the Seats Folded

Between grocery runs into town, hauling gear to the cabin, and fitting a stroller alongside a week’s worth of luggage, most Newfoundland and Labrador drivers need an SUV that can flex. The 2027 Nissan Murano is built around exactly that kind of flexibility.

Before you shortlist a midsize SUV, it helps to know what actually fits inside it, not just the headline cargo number. Here’s how the Murano’s cargo area is arranged and who it makes the most sense for.

Why The Murano Deserves A Look

The 2027 Murano pairs a 2.0 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine, making 241 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, with a 9-speed automatic transmission and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive standard on both trims. That AWD system is standard across the lineup, not an option you have to pay up for.

Cargo space is where the Murano earns its keep for families and weekend haulers. Behind the rear seats, with all five seats in place, the Murano offers 931.6 L of cargo volume, room for several large suitcases, a stroller, and a cooler without folding anything down.

Fold the rear seats and that space opens up to 1,797.1 L, enough for flat-pack furniture, a bike with the front wheel off, or a full run of hardware-store lumber and trim.

Strengths That Matter For Everyday Loading

The cargo area itself is shaped for real-world use, not just a big number on a spec sheet. A few details make loading and unloading easier:

• Power liftgate on both Dark Armor and Platinum trims, useful when your arms are already full
• Cargo area hooks (two front, two rear, and two on the rear sides) to keep grocery bags or gear from sliding around on winding roads
• Side cargo area storage and a 12V power socket back there for coolers or work gear
• Rear privacy glass, standard on both trims, keeps gear out of sight when the SUV is parked

The cargo floor measures 1,419.4 mm wide and 763.3 mm tall, with a loading length of 1,009.2 mm behind the rear seats that stretches to 1,834.3 mm once those seats fold flat. That width matters more than most buyers expect: it’s the number that decides whether a case of bottled water or a folded stroller sits flat instead of wedged in at an angle.

Inside the cabin, the Murano seats five with 3,032.7 L of total passenger volume. Front headroom runs 999.7 mm and front legroom hits 1,124 mm, so taller drivers on longer highway stretches aren’t cramped before the trunk even comes into play.

Who The Murano Fits Best

The Murano works well for a household that needs one SUV to do several jobs: the daily commute, weekend home-improvement runs, and the occasional trip with luggage for four. A young family will find the seats-up cargo space enough for a stroller, diaper bag, and groceries together, without needing to fold anything down for a normal outing.

Someone regularly hauling bulkier items, like flooring, patio furniture, or a season’s worth of sports equipment, gets real headroom by folding the rear seats flat. The 1,834 mm loading length behind the front seats is long enough for most lumber runs without anything hanging out the back.

Buyers who need three-row seating or a full truck bed for camping gear should look elsewhere in the lineup; the Murano is a five-seat, two-row SUV, and its trade-off for that lower, wider cargo floor is not having a third row to fold away.

Loading The Murano In Everyday Conditions

The liftgate access point sits at a manageable height for loading heavier items like coolers or totes without a deep lift. Combined with the wide, flat floor, that makes the Murano practical for the kind of loading and unloading Newfoundland and Labrador driveways and parking lots demand: uneven pavement, tight spots, and gear that doesn’t always come in a neat rectangular box.

The distinction between the two cargo numbers matters when you’re actually deciding what to carry. The 931.6 L seats-up figure covers routine errands and short trips with passengers aboard. The 1,797.1 L folded figure is for the bigger jobs, a home project, a move, or gear that needs the full floor. Knowing which one applies to your typical week is more useful than either number alone.

Finding The Right Murano For Your Needs

The 2027 Nissan Murano pairs a spacious, flexible cargo area with standard all-wheel drive and a five-seat layout suited to daily errands and bigger hauls alike. Its cargo floor dimensions and loading features are built for the kind of mixed-use driving common across the province.
