When I was originally looking for SUV I was aiming at 2017 Honda CRV 1.5 Turbo engine. Choosing between compact and mid-size SUVs was easy enough based on overall interior and exterior quality as well as technology package that Nissan offers from most the base model something that is available on CRV top trim level. Have been driving it for almost 3 weeks now and cannot be happier. Never owned SUV ever before, therefore I am still in adaptation mode. Previously I drove Honda Accord and can only say that gas consumption in the city is about the same considering that accord is 4 cyl and Murano is 6 cyl engines. By driving conservatively I am sure I can achieve even better gas mileage. Very quite enjoyable ride. Steering handling is awesome. Infotainment system is much better than on any Honda models. Front console controls are very intuitive and easy to operate. Just take it for drive test and check it out for yourself. After driving Murano for 6 month I am still pleased with the purchase. Drove it from Upstate NY to NYC and unexpectedly for myself highway miles was 31 mpg that slightly above what sticker says. City driving still can show mixed mpg 15-25 depends on traffic. My Murano didn't see winter in Upstate NY yet, therefore not sure what to expect. At this point I am pleased with this vehicle. Now I own my Murano for a year. Great experience overall. One minor detail that would interest some Murano owners. During past winter we had a couple of weeks with low temperature -20C or -4F. I noticed after leaving car overnight or extensive period of time turned off my trip mileage and log information were reset. To some drivers it's no big deal, but I just wanted to point this out. This only happened during extreme cold temperature. On the positive note, Murano handles snow PERFECT as well as rides perfectly fine. Gas consumption remain constant from the day I purchased it. CVT transmission definitely contributing to relatively low gas consumption. I also noticed that build in Navigation doesn't work as good as lets say Google Maps or aftermarket Navigation device. Can't really say much about other SUVs but came across review on Honda CRV and seems that Honda has the same problem. Those who rely on Navigation and drive a lot I would suggest to do research and decide based on your driving habits. In conclusion I'd like to say that owning Murano is lots of fun and positive experience. I haven't seen perfect car yet. Every car has something that would raise an eye brow. Take Murano for a test drive and decide for your self. Now it is end of 2019, and I am still enjoying my Murano. After two and a half years of ownership I do not regret a bit that I picked Murano. Still driving on clouds with adequate interior comfort. Infotainment system needs redesign, and for most shoppers Infotainment system would be a big turn off. Some features are clearly redundant, and unnecessary. Example would be little snowflake next to temperature that is below 32F. Yes, I get it it is cold. :) I disabled this snowflake as I found this was a problem with resetting trip logs. I think this has something to do with electronics as it is indicated within manual that in frigid temperature some electronics will not work as expected. This is true for any vehicle this days. Biggest issue with infotainment system I see is slow response. I am not going to dwell on it as clearly it needs redesign. Murano is really economical vehicle on highways. Going on my 4th year of ownership. What can I say? Still economical SUV. With COVID-19 I don't drive my SUV as much I want to, but every time I drive it I am getting reminded that choice I made in 2017 was right. There are SUVs that I would consider in the future, however, I would not hesitate buying another Murano. Still would advise others to do your own research before coming to dealership.

I'm not a car buff so my review is coming from a place of practicality and comfort. I LOVE THIS CAR! I was a Toyota fan before this car but did not want the 4 cal Rave. The Highlander, although a nice car has little personality. This car has it all!

Extremely comfortable and quiet vehicle

Bought the vehicle about 3 weeks ago and have been very pleased with it. We owned a 2009 Murano and were very pleased with it but this model is even more comfortable and smooth riding. This model, SV, is very well equipped with options that many competitors only offer in higher trim level models. Our previous vehicle, a 2013 Hyundai Tuscon, was a great city vehicle but after a couple long trips I had to get rid of it due to the harsh ride and noisy cabin. We are looking forward to much more comfortable and relaxing driving in our future trips. The interior is very nice, much nicer than the other brand vehicles we looked at in comparable trim levels. 6,500 miles on it now and like it more and more. Everyone that has rode with us has commented on how quiet it is, the smooth ride, comfortable seats, and the power of the engine. So far we are very satisfied with the Murano. We have had the Murano for a little over a year and a half now and have 29,000 miles on it. We've taken a few long trips with it and really enjoy the vehicle. The riding comfort makes long drives much more enjoyable than the Tuscon we had. If we replace this vehicle I will look very closely at another Murano. Fuel mileage is excellent for a 3.5 engine and a large vehicle. Depending on highway conditions and speed the MPG runs between 26 and 27.5. If I drove a bit more conservatively I believe it would give 28-29 MPG. City driving is a bit less naturally but usually is around 25 MPG. I am very impressed and pleased with the Murano. 46,000 miles on the Murano and still going strong. Have had no problems so far, just scheduled maintenance. I have said it before but I'll say it again that this is a very comfortable and quiet vehicle.

2017.5 Nissan Murano with Failed AC System

Ah Nuts! My new 2017.5 Murano SV assembled in Mississippi drives great, and is quiet, and is very comfortable. It has strong engine performance. The CVT is smooth and in fact the smoothest transmission I have ever encountered. I love this vehicle.....EXCEPT coming direct from the factory in Mississippi to my dealership...it arrived with a defective AC System. At about 200 miles I returned the Murano to the dealer and said "I don't think the AC works". That was a correct assessment, it had no freon in the system. My dealer tested the system and added dye to find the leak. No leak could be found. The system was recharged. Five days later the AC System was dead again. I took the Murano to a different Nissan dealer to eliminate possibly poor mechanics. Dealer number two tested the system, added dye to the system, and pressurized the system. No leaks could be found. The system was recharged. Eleven days later on the road in 90 degree weather the AC System totally failed again. I called Nissan customer service and ended up in maybe Malaysia , I could not really understand what she (customer service) was saying. I asked to speak to someone in customer service in the US and was told there was no one. Finally, I told customer service under the my state's Lemon Law I was going to return the car to Nissan. A day later I received a call from Nissan in Tennessee and was assigned a case number. At this point the Murano is going into a Nissan shop again. Currently. the Nissan Murano has 1000 miles on it. Would I purchase this Murano again now knowing all the AC System problems were going to occur? The answer is NO......UPDATED REVIEW: The Nissan dealer in Edmonds, Washington found the leak, a high pressure metal line with a pin hole leak. The dealer provided a photo of the leaked dye around the hole. Nissan corporate is sending me a $250 debit card for the inconvenience caused. The case is closed but I remain unsure of the vehicle reliability, only time and additional miles will tell the true story. UPDATE: I still like the Murano. The SV model has weak headlights but the higher models have great headlights. Left and right driver visibility at curb level is poor. The Murano is great to drive on the highway. Driver and passenger comfort is outstanding.
