I traded a very clean 09 LE AWD Murano for this 2015 Platinum version. So the older Murano is the benchmark here. First impressions are that the vehicle has better acceleration due to the improved CVT transmission, is quieter on the road, much nicer interior and more cargo space, does not handle as well, but not by much. Love all the new electronic safety stuff, like lane change warning & overview monitoring to name a few. The looks are certainly more exciting, but that is subjective. Reliability is unknown. Will update review in a month. Final word: there are a many mid size SUV's out there, and this Nissan may suit your needs better than others based on the features you find important. UPDATE: After 7 months no change in impressions except that the car does not track well. Constant small corrections are needed which makes driving a chore. The dealer has no fix and their explanation is that it has to do with the new electronic power steering. At this point I am reducing the rating to three stars based on this. Take a long test drive before buying.

Nissan's best days are behind them. Do your research work before buying this vehicle. The external look of the this vehicle is outstanding but that is where the value ends. In six months this is what I experienced: 1) Rotors resurfaced at 103 miles 2) Major Fluid Leak at 2000 miles 3) Power Tailgate starts to drop down after it opens. Also, there is an open recall that could cause a "thermal" event for your high priced vehicle. The "thermal" event simply means that it can catch on fire. Nissan told buyers the fix would be available in December of 2016. Unfortunately, Nissan is no closer to solving the problem. I attempted to trade this vehicle in on either an Acura, Mercedes or BMW product but each of the dealers informed me that they would NOT resale the vehicle because of the safety issues. In other words, they gave me a "auction value" on the vehicle which means I will lose approximately $12K in 6-months. There are much better vehicles in this class that offer a better warranty and will hold their value more than Nissan.

I bought my Murano in March 2015. I was in market for SUV. Researched several options and ended up with Murano. No issues so far. Doesn't like the acceleration. Stability seems to be poor in cornering. Braking is optimal. Great interior. Main drawback is city Mileage. I end up in 14-16 in City but satisfactory highway mileage. I don't know how reliable is the CVT (This is my first CVT)

We have had the Murano for only about 1,000 miles now but very impressed so far and I will update if anything changes. Highs: Super comfortable in front and back. Love being able to remotely raise and lower seat backs. Perfect hight, no stepping up or down into vehicle. Design of the interior feels very high class and the large driver screen in front of the driver is fantastic. Acceleration is very adequate. I am actually enjoying the CVT transmission as it is so smooth. Handling has been very impressive, it corners more like a sedan. We are coming from a european car so we are very excited about the excellent reliability of these SAV's Lows: Engine is a bit loud at heard acceleration. Cheaper feeling door handles(especially with how high end everything else is, these should be steel). Passenger seat doesn't have as many adjustments as drivers.

We have 26,000 miles on our leased 2015 Nissan Murano. So far the vehicle is very comfortable with plenty of power, minimal interior noise and gas mileage isn't bad for a vehicle of this size. The list of features on our Platinum model is good. I will say the absence of automatic windshield wipers is strange with the list of options included on this vehicle. I like the around view camera, but feel front and rear parking sensors would be more helpful in most situations. The very low beep sound of the rear cross traffic alert is useless. The blind spot monitor lights flash when someone is coming when backing up. If you are backing up why would you be looking at the monitors built into the A pillars? My biggest complaint is storage in the center stack. The small change compartment houses the USB port and isn't big enough to hold a phone. You also cannot close the lid when you have a phone plugged in. This will be a major pain now Apple Car Play has been added for 2017. The paint quality is not impressive. There is a lot orange peel in the metallic red paint (or clear coat), especially on the doors. You will not see a clear reflection on this vehicle. The paint on my VW GTI is in a different league compared to the Murano. So far we haven't had any mechanical issues. We do he a random surging/sputtering from the CVT when driving at very low speeds (under 20 MPH) and when you are giving it very little gas. I have read online we are not the only ones experiencing this with the 2015 Model. Hopefully this isn't a start of a transmission problem. So overall we really enjoy our Murano and with a few changes/additions this would be a great vehicle.
