HAVE OWNED HONDA'S FOR 30 YEARS. I have driven Nissans such as the Altima and Maxima and was always very impressed with the pickup, the way the cars handled, the interiors, the finishes and the beauty of the cars. Well, It was time to by a new vehicle after owning my last Honda for 18 years (and will NEVER buy a Honda again when the perfectly maintained car blew its engine at 92K miles and Honda would do nothing, except loose a customer FOREVER) and then I saw the resigned Murano. This car sent be right over the top. I am not a car nut but then I saw this and it was instant love. The test drive was perfect. great on the street, terrific pickup with no lag, smooth as silk cornering ability plus the sexiest of both interiors AND exteriors. People have been stopping my and asking what car is that. I scream 'Its the new Nissan Murano and you have to buy one." It is so luxurious on the inside pickups like a dream and corners on rails, so you can make it whatever you want, a Sport SUV or one that fits your driving style. Personally pickup without lag is extremely important to me as are making smooth turns with a hard turn of the steering wheel. This vehicle delivers on both and so much more. Hey this LA where you are driving next to cars out there for 100K to 2M and this car with its 20 inch rims and flashy new design still have people looking so the redesign is also beautiful. The one criticism I don't understand it cargo space. Mine has a ton when my rear seats are down. I recently put in enough planning material for a 40' hedge so I am not sure what the critics are talking about. When the seat are up, there is still plenty of room for all the sporting gear, groceries, etc. This car is a winner. It is a 5/5 and worth every penny. It is the best car I have ever owned and one of the best cars I have ever driven in.

Comfy Roadtrip Car, Poorly Executed

UPDATE: We sold the Murano having owned it for eight years, five months. In that time it never actually stranded us but never inspired confidence in its build quality or durability, either. Its mission was always a mix of urban errands, airport runs, car-camping weekends, and long cross-country tours across the Midwest. The main pro was comfort. We drove the Murano cross country, up to 700 miles in a day, and were delighted with the Zero Gravity seats, driving position, cockpit utility, and cruising road manners. Not an iota of highway fatigue. The Murano is best suited for long-distance work, where the big V6 returns 27 to 29 mpg at 70 or 75 mph. The vehicle's flaws: with the rear seat up, the rear cargo area is puny for an SUV this size. (Though the Murano gets a point for offering up a fully flat, six-foot-plus, sleepable space with the rear seat down: great for car camping.) Sloppy fit and finish and cheap switchwork on the inside -- some switches and levers borrowed from the Versa Note. The electronics went kablooey now and then: the nav system wouldn't engage, the center console stack has locked up (radio couldn't be turned off until I turned the whole car off, etc.), and the collision avoidance system quit working in bad winter weather as snow or ice accrues in the front-bumper cubbyhole where the sensor lives. (Outside of Bluetooth, digital interoperability is poor; the Nissan Connect smartphone app never did anything, and connecting with phones to play music was a huge chore.) The lightweight doors felt flimsy and slammed with a tinny clink. City MPG was ridiculous, often a reported 8.0 or 9.0; a Greyhound bus is more efficient. Side and rear visibility are terrible -- the blind-spot warning system is a necessity if you ask me, not a luxury. We acted on our intention to sell the car before its CVT transmission, legendarily terrible, was apt to go south, statistically speaking. Little about long-term ownership inspires faith in Nissan quality or durability, including the fact that the 2024 Murano is virtually identical to our 2015 model. Clearly the company does not have the resources to perform even minimal updates on a now-ancient model (that they ask close to $50k for a loaded Platinum version of!). For only a few thousand more we replaced our Murano with a 2025 Lexus NX350, which is on a different planet in terns of quality and reliability. We don't regret our Murano ownership experience, for the most part, but would not buy another.

The ride is great, it has all that a luxury SUV should have. The only thing I found was a blind spot, if I didn't have the tech warnings, it would be dangerous. The only other frustration is the blue tooth connectivity is inconsistent so hands free driving is difficult.

I was in between getting a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, which I previously had, or the Murano SV. Suffice it to say that I am so happy I went with the Murano!!! This is one of the most luxurious automobile I have ever owned. The way it handles the road is outstanding, not to mention the sleek exterior. The interior is so comfortable & roomy. The drivers seat cradles your body in a way that is so comfortable & with the lumbar setting it's like a dream. The updated electronics with the Navigation System, Bluetooth, Bose system, Instrument panel, etc. is all so high tech. I'm still learning how to work it all & discover something new each day. By far this is one of the best automobiles I have ever owned. I highly recommend the Murrano SV!
