I don't think Nissan has ever marketed the Murano much. Since I got mine new in 2018 I have seen very little marketing.
Maybe they feel they don't need to?

The last 2 Murano full redesigns were kept pretty quiet. I was shopping for one in August 2007 and the redesign was imminent and I heard nothing. I decided knowing nothing but suspecting a new one I would take a chance on the 7. Which was a good move thankfully.If there was a Murano redesign in the works, we would hear about it via leaks in the media. I have not seen any Murano in full-line Nissan ads over the last 2 years. This is the campaign headed up by Brie Larson--instead they are focused on the Ariya. It does not feel like Nissan is trying to increase sales numbers on the Murano.
At least a year ago I read that Nissan is finished with any new developments in internal combustion engines. They did move Murano production from Canton MS to Smyrna TN in 2021. Canton is being refurbed for EV production starting 2025.
Ford is also letting the Edge die off also; the Lincoln version (Nautilus) is rumored to be imported from China as soon as 2024.
It's funny but the 2015+ Murano, which I originally throught was too gaudy a design for most tastes, seems to be more fashionable today, among the other creased coke-bottle SUV designs by other companies. Makes me feel less conspicuous driving my Murano these days--I am certainly more used to the shape also.
