The Murano is a likable crossover SUV that blends unique styling with a spacious, comfortable interior and a fun-to-drive character. If it wasn't for the power-sapping CVT transmission, it would get our top recommendation.
Excellent handling, comfortable and practical interior, unique styling inside and out, smooth and powerful engine.
Continuously variable transmission detracts from performance, SE model rides harshly, no third-row seat, gets pricey with options.
