SMYRNA, TN—Nissan has started production of the redesigned 2025 Murano at its Smyrna Vehicle Assembly Plant in Tennessee, marking the milestone with a ceremony on December 3, 2024. Nissan executives, community leaders, and plant employees celebrated as the first 2025 model rolled off the line.

Brian Crockett, Vice President of Manufacturing for the Smyrna plant, called it a proud moment, recognizing the dedication of the team behind the refreshed SUV. The 2025 Murano features bold styling, advanced technology, and engines produced at Nissan's Decherd Powertrain Plant, also in Tennessee.

With plans to scale production to over 6,700 units monthly by March 2025, the first models are expected in dealerships early in the year. Since starting Murano production in 2020, the Smyrna plant has delivered nearly 145,000 units to the U.S. and Canada.

Governor Bill Lee praised Nissan’s contributions to Tennessee’s economy and workforce, highlighting the company’s 40-year partnership with the state. The Smyrna facility, Nissan’s largest in the U.S., employs over 5,700 people and produces multiple models with an annual capacity of 640,000 vehicles.

The launch underscores Nissan’s commitment to innovation, quality, and its Tennessee manufacturing operations, supported by $7.1 billion in investments.
