Nissan Smyrna has delivered nearly 145,000 Murano vehicles to customers in the US and Canada since it began production there in 2020. Nissan aims to ramp up Murano assembly in Smyrna to more than 6,700 vehicles per month by March 2025. Consumers can expect vehicles to be delivered early next year.
The Murano is powered by engines produced at Nissan’s Decherd Powertrain Plant.
