2024 Nissan Murano

The Nissan Murano stands out for its striking exterior design and comfortable seats. It also has a powerful engine. But that styling comes at a cost. The sloping roofline cuts into rear visibility, making the Murano feel larger than it is. Towing capacity is also low for the class. This midsize SUV offers value and character, but it is not as versatile as competitors.

Overview

The 2024 Nissan Murano is a midsize crossover SUV that slots between the compact Rogue and three-row Pathfinder in the automaker's lineup. It offers standard V6 power that can be paired with either front- or all-wheel drive. The Murano sets itself apart from other midsizers with its curvaceous styling, including a sloping roofline that lends it a sleek silhouette. Inside, there's space for five people. Though the Murano is showing its age, it offers a lot of value if you're looking for a moderately spacious SUV with a good amount of features.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Nissan Murano SV 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.52 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Interior and comfort

The Murano's cabin features high-quality materials, an upscale design and intuitive controls. Its front seats are supportive and comfortable for long drives, and that comfort only improves when it's equipped with the available heated and ventilated seats. The standard 8-inch touchscreen is a little dated, but it's responsive and easy to navigate. Get the full picture of what we think of the Murano's interior by reading our Expert Rating.

Competitors to consider

The Nissan Murano competes with other midsize SUVs, including the Honda Passport, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, Subaru Outback, Chevrolet Blazer, Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento. Consumers might also consider the newer Nissan Rogue, which is slightly smaller but delivers comparable rear seat space and more cargo volume than its larger sibling.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Below Average

7.1

out of 10

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the Murano drive? The standard 3.5-liter V6 engine packs enough power for typical daily driving, delivering good acceleration when called upon. It's helped by a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that's better than the industry average. Consistent, reliable power is delivered to the road without noticeable gear changes except under hard acceleration.

The Murano's driving dynamics are generally positive as well. The speed-sensitive steering aids stability, and the Murano handles increased speeds around corners better than many midsize SUVs. You really have to jam on the brakes to deliver maximum stopping power, but otherwise the pedal feel is consistent and actual braking performance is adequate.

Comfort

8.0/10

How comfortable is the Murano? The Murano's front and rear seats are plush and supportive in all the right spots, providing the exact comfort you want on long drives. Dual-zone climate control is standard and has hard-working yet quiet air conditioning. You might even find yourself dialing the system back. The heated and cooled seat features are powerful, though seat ventilation is only available on the top Platinum trim.

Again, the CVT automatic doesn't compromise the Murano as much as similar transmissions do in other vehicles. There's no droning sound inside the cabin and it makes a pleasing noise at full throttle. The ride quality could be smoother, but we suspect the culprit was the 20-inch wheels on top trim levels.

Build & Price

Interior

7.0/10

How’s the interior? The Murano's buttons and dials are intuitive to use. It's easy to find a comfortable driver's position, and there's ample headroom and shoulder room. But legroom for rear passengers is a bit cramped for a midsize SUV.

The large doors and wide openings make getting in and out easy, though the size of the doors means you need to be careful in tight spots. The unique styling compromises the Murano when it comes to visibility too. The tall hood and sloping roofline translate to small front and rear windows. The SUV feels bigger than it is, forcing you to rely on the blind-spot warning system.

Technology

7.0/10

How’s the tech? The 8-inch touchscreen immediately looks dated and simple, but that makes it easy to use. It's responsive and easy to operate, and the optional 11-speaker Bose audio system delivers crisp and clear music. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard, and pairing Bluetooth is a straightforward process. Other tech features include navigation with effective voice control and NissanConnect services.

The advanced safety equipment is generally a highlight, and for the most part, these features work well. The adaptive cruise control system slows down smartly with traffic but is hesitant to resume speed again.

Storage

7.0/10

How’s the storage? Some midsize SUVs can tow more than 5,000 pounds, but the Murano musters a maximum capacity of just 1,500 pounds. It also has less cargo space than its competitors, though the max 32.1 cubic feet behind the rear seats and the 67 cubic feet with the second row folded flat is adequate.

Inside, there aren't many storage spaces for small items. The center console is modestly sized, and the door pockets can't hold a water bottle. The back seat offers little more than a center armrest with two cupholders. Got kids? The Murano's accessible LATCH lower anchors and tether points make it easy to install child safety seats.

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? Our all-wheel-drive test Murano beat its EPA estimate of 23 mpg combined on our 115-mile evaluation route, which is better than most competitors. But its 18.9 mpg average over the course of roughly 800 miles of mixed driving in two weeks fell under the EPA's city rating of 20 mpg.

Value

7.0/10

Is the Murano a good value? Fit and finish is generally positive in the Murano, and marble-like interior plastics give a luxurious impression. The exceptionally comfortable seats add to the value equation. A nicely equipped version with the features you want comes close to $40,000, which is in line with direct competitors.

Nissan offers an industry-average basic and powertrain warranty. Extended protection is available for up to eight years and 120,000 miles. There is also an available three-year free trial subscription for remote door locking and maintenance alerts and a six-month free trial program for collision notification and stolen vehicle location.

Wildcard

6.5/10

Like it or not, the Murano stands out because of its distinctive styling. The driving experience, however, is hampered by poor visibility and average handling that make the Murano feel larger than it is. A powerful engine helps but doesn't kick the SUV into the upper echelon of fun vehicles to drive.

Which Murano does Edmunds recommend?

Now that the lineup starts with the SV model, every Murano comes decently equipped. But if you want your midsize Nissan SUV to have a bit more of a premium feel, we recommend the SL trim. That model gets you genuine leather upholstery, heated rear seats, a panoramic moonroof, an 11-speaker premium Bose stereo system, and a 360-degree camera system.

Nissan Murano models

The 2024 Nissan Murano is a midsize SUV offered in three trims: SV, SL and Platinum.

2021 Nissan Murano SV 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

Overall it is a good deal. Fairly sporty, comfy, Bose speakers, low road noise. Had the distance pacing cruise replaced due to malfunction after a few thousand miles. The front A pillars can affect visibility more so when you look for vehicles coming from the sides. Got used to it. Mileage is not bad, mid 20's average.

2022 Nissan Murano Platinum 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

bought the 2022 Nissan Platinum package after owning the 2018 model. Best vehicles we have ever owned. Great looking exterior with the white color and black trim. Inside the front and back seats are the most comfortable we have set in. The interior trim is very stylish. I know this current generation of Murano is 7 years old but there is a reason they have not changed it. Sharp looking …

Overall then design is smooth and refined. Inside has comfort for long drives and is enjoyable for commuting around town. Pros- comfortable, easy to drive , rides like a more expensive vehicle , good safety ratings.* Cons- the blind spot in the pillars . This is my biggest concern.

Nissan Murano vs. Honda Passport

The Honda Passport is our current favorite in the midsize SUV category. It is comfortable, has plenty of space for passengers and cargo, and is surprisingly capable off-road. Like the Murano, the Passport comes standard with a V6 engine. But the Passport's six-cylinder is more powerful and better integrated with its transmission, a nine-speed automatic. The Murano gets better fuel economy on paper, though in our tests the Nissan underperformed its EPA estimates.

Nissan Murano vs. Hyundai Santa Fe

The Santa Fe is an often overlooked option in the midsize SUV category. It's decently powerful with the turbocharged upgrade engine, has a comfortable ride, and comes with an impressive complement of tech and convenience features. The Santa Fe's base engine is a naturally aspirated four-cylinder with 190 horsepower on tap, but step up to the Limited trim and above and you get a turbocharged inline-four good for 281 horses. It's not only more powerful than the Murano's V6, but it also gets slightly better fuel economy. In addition, a comparably equipped Hyundai will have a lower price tag and carry one of the best warranties around.

Compare Nissan Murano & Hyundai Santa Fe features

Nissan Murano vs. Nissan Rogue

Redesigned in 2021, the Nissan Rogue still feels new and fresh, especially when placed side by side with its larger Murano stablemate. Though it's perhaps not as upscale as the Murano's cabin, the Rogue's interior feels more modern and in some parts nearly as spacious. Backseat headroom is identical to the Murano's and the Rogue gives up only 0.2 inch of legroom to its larger sibling. Meanwhile, the Rogue offers more cargo room thanks to the Murano's interior volume-limiting raked roofline. You'll save some money going with a Rogue, but you might miss the extra power of the Murano's V6.

Safety

Our experts’ favorite Murano safety features:

Automatic Emergency Braking: Front radar monitors proximity to the vehicle ahead. In an imminent collision, the Murano can apply the brakes to avoid or mitigate impact.
Blind-Spot Warning: The Murano's stylish exterior makes for reduced side and rear visibility, but this feature helps compensate. It's standard on all models.
Intelligent Around View Monitor: Displays a 360-degree, top-down image of the SUV. Selectable curbside view works great for parking.
