We've only had it a month so I can't comment on reliability, but other reviews seem to have been spot on. Very comfortable, enough power, decent mpg and nice to look at. They seemed to have gotten the CVT figured out, it's not offensive, which is high praise because until this one I've had no use for them. If you tow things, go mudding or want a sports car in SUV clothing this isn't it. If you're an empty nester and need to haul your stuff around on trips this is as good as it gets. Let me mention again - this car is really comfortable. The computer interface is well done, it's intuitive and easy to use. The interior materials are very nice and the layout is spacious. I really like the motor, it's got plenty of power and uses regular gas. I don't have much use for twin turbo 4's that need premium which are what the majority of its competitors are doing. All in all we're very happy with this car, if you need an SUV and want a comfort cruiser this is definitely worth a look. Well its been 2 years and everything I mentioned previously is still true. No problems, good gas mileage and you can spend all day driving it ant you won't be beat up when you're done. Really an outstanding traveling car. We're now a little over 3 years in and still no problems with this car. Get 30+ mpg at 75 mph on trips and just really comfortable to drive long distances. One thing I've come to appreciate are their outside cameras, they do an overhead view that's really helpful.

Great 2 Row SUV

Pros: S version finally is not lacking on options and standard features. I have NAV option and it's great for the money. S w/ NAV is about $1200 or so cheaper than SV. Great ride; super comfy seats; great electronics and easy to use; lots of space for passengers; good gas mileage: 18 city, 26 HWY real world - 1500 miles so far Cons: Blind spot is an issue but not as bad as it seems; gas mileage in city is not close to sticker; towing figures are laughable... you could easily tow 3500 lbs as it's the same engine and trans as the Pathfinder. I towed a 18ft ski boat easily with my old 2003 Murano. the only issue with towing is the hitch sits really low which is probably one of the reasons why it's not recommended. I recently towed a jet ski 550 miles each way and on mostly flat surfaces with little wind got 23 mpg at 74mph average. On a recent 100 mile trip gas mileage climbed to 26mpg at 80 mph. Overall this SUV is fantastic for the price. Nissan discounts these so dramatically that it's by far the best SUV for the money.

Edmunds doesnt like Murrano but I do, great car for the money, go sit in one and drive it before you decide on another SUV.

This is my 4th Murano and each one is an improvement over the last one and I am extremely pleased with this. The 2016 replaced my 2014 which I loved and intended to keep for a long time but when an out of state driver plowed into me it totaled it but I was fine inside so I am very happy with it's "crash response" . I promptly went out and purchased the 2016 and have been very happy with it....so comfortable, plenty of space for cargo and friends-- can not recommend this vehicle enough...I also have a GLK350 which is nice but this has more space and honestly more "gadgets which I love and you can not beat the value. I am so pleased with the Murano I gave my son the Mercedes both are excellent cars but for me I prefer the Murano

Finally Happy A Year Late

I was shopping a car for myself a year ago and accidently came across Murano which was even on my radar screen before that day. I was so attracted by the comfort and finish of the interior / seats that I made a kind of rush decision and bought Murano instead. The car has run smooth for 18,000 miles and comfortable like piloting a spaceship, but for a year, I have had a kind of regret for my rush decision not my original plan. I am shopping a car for wife now and test drove a BMW 535 xDrive (my wife's choice). I was so surprised when I set in the BMW. The sale person saw the surprise on my face and mistaken that I was awed by BMW. I was actually stunned by how primitive and noise its interior feels and how cumbersome its controls ( not touch screen??). If this is what BMW can offer, I am very happy with my Murano now, Finally, A year later.
