2019 Nissan Murano Platinum 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

We replaced two vehicles over the past year so had an opportunity to drive multiple compact and mid-size SUVs (we don't need third row, so did not drive the larger version SUV). This is our first Murano, although previously owned two Maximas, all good cars. Before deciding on the 2019 Murano Platinum AWD, we drove a 2018 MB GLC, the new for 2019 Acura RDX, a used Lexus RX lease return, the new for 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe and the Mazda CX-9. We didn't consider Audi or BMW as we were turned off by the mixed reviews on reliability. We also drove a few used Muranos (2015-2018), although they are scarce and sell quickly. What sold us on the 2019 Murano were: 1) Excellent ride quality and handling, considering we will use for road trips and in town running about. 2) All the safety bells and whistles including front and rear collision mitigation, outstanding 360-camera view, blind spot monitoring etc etc 3) Powerful smooth engine, but still good on gas (averaging 24.8 so far) 4) Luxurious and elegant interior --- we actually feel we are in our first "luxury" vehicle, although we own a Mercedes. We love the contrasting dark wood with the Cashmere leather 5) Comfortable back seat for passengers (for our out of town visitors) 6) Easy to use Infotainment system. Compared to the others we considered, hands down the Murano had the easiest to use. After owning it for a couple of months we appreciate the clear and colorful display, with almost no glare. The Bose system is very good. While other vehicles had even "higher end" audio options (e.g. the Acura RDX), the overall ease of use of the Murano Infotainment system came out on top by far. 5) Price -- we took advantage of the recent Nissan incentive for several thousand under dealer cost, which was a good value (considering we'll keep this vehicle 10+ years). And still less than a used Lexus RX, which didn't have the safety feature OR infotainment features (e.g. Android Auto/Apple Car Play) or the Murano.

Last August after my Honda CRV was totalled, by chance i was given a brand new 2018 Murano by the car rental company. Drove it from Austin to Dallas, and found the car to be extremely smooth and quiet, with excellent handling and acceleration. I'm a petite lady used to driving a G35 sedan or a compact SUV, but i was able to drive the Murano just fine. The sleek exterior makes this midsize crossover quite sporty, while the refined interior with alot of standard options gives it a luxurious feel. The navigation system is one of the best i've seen. The backup camera is awesome. The seats are extremely comfortable and makes long road trips more enjoyable. The trunk space is divine. Best of all, it drives even better than the Infiniti QX50. I loved it so much i bought a brand new one. If you're on the fence about buying this vehicle, i suggest to go to a dealership and take it for a test drive. Don't waste money buying a more expensive vehicle. This car is a luxury model branded as a Nissan. Update: It's been 1.5 years since we've had the 2018 Murano. The only problem we had with the vehicle is the clamps on the undergirding frame came loose. We had it towed to the closest Nissan repair shop and it was taken care of without cost. The car still drives like a luxury car with excellent handling, acceleration and smoothness. The seats are extremely comfortable and great for long rides. Both the hubby & i have bad backs and the built-in back rest on the driver side helps alot during long trips. Because we've had to travel by car more than usual since we had the vehicle we've put 30K miles on it already. The gas mileage is awesome - best MPG was ~34. The well-designed GPS system came standard with the S model, so is a great value and a huge plus for road trips. With the roomy trunk space we're able to comfortably bring all our travel gear. And oh yea, we LOVE the audio system. Makes those long trips much more enjoyable :). Overall we're very happy with the vehicle. With regular oil changes and maintenance hopefully it should last us another dozen years.

I purchased a 2017 Murano SV AWD almost three years ago now. Overall, I am very pleased with the vehicle. It has a very comfortable interior made of high quality materials; it accelerates well; and is a heavy vehicle that holds the road well. In addition, I have not had not reliability issues. I recently rented a Nissan Rogue while on vacation, and this experience really made me appreciate the Murano. Compared to the Murano, the Rogue was noisier, had less power, and had a much busier ride. The only complaint that I have about the Murano is that I wish the steering and handling was a little tighter.

My wife and I have owned 6 new Lexus’s in the last 20 years. As we entered into retirement, we wanted to be more practical. After 1 year of research, we settled on the Murano, as it checked all of our boxes. We have owned it for one year and are very happy with our choice.

Wow..best thing I've ever driven

This vehicle is often referred to as the best luxury suv without a name plate (ie Lexus, infinite, acura). I couldn't agree more. I had driven hondas for 30 years and as soon as I got into that platinum level cabin I could tell the major difference. The seats are incredible. The engine is superb. I have the 3.5 by and while it may not be sippy sippy on gas, that is not why you buy a luxury suv. The pick up is terrific, that cabin is basically flawless with a noiseless cabin. In addition back seat passengers have a ton of room and can set there own environmentals. It cam with the full panoramic sunroof which makes to di$ference to me. I also dont care about towing toys so the criticism leveled at ut is ridiculous. You dont take a luxury suv offroading or to tow a boat, just like you dont see a Lexus 450 or Infinite. Qx60 with these items in tow, yet this is the class of the premium platinum murano so i find many of the criticisms leveled against it unfounded. I find the cabin luxurious, noiseless and a very powerful engine that delivers. And when I go to Lowe's. Home depot and costco all the stuff fits and having redone two houses that a lot if stuff. FORGET ALL THE NIT PICKY THINGS YOU HAVE READ. I BARGAINED MINE doWN TO 36K (from 43k) AND it IS THE BEST VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED IN 40 YEARS. ONE knock. I have found the dealership's difficult to deal with but when you consider my 1999 accord blew its engine at 96k and ate 2 transmissions this is a small price to pay. None of my friends are driving hondas anymore
