Better Than ANY Honda I've Ever Owned!

A 2021 Murano is actually the first Nissan vehicle I have had the pleasure of owning. It definitely has the most comfortable and supportive driver's seat I've had in any vehicle. It's the first vehicle that I actually find the rear seats more than comfortable and more than enough space for a 700km plus drive. I consistently get BETTER fuel economy than the EPA estimates on this vehicle. On the highway I usually average 8.2L/100 km. I actually tried a 700 km trip with the cruise set on 100 KPH I actually achieved a fuel economy of 7L/100 KPH for the entire trip. For a 6 cylinder vehicle of the size and weight of the Murano with no turbo, hybrid, cylinder deactivation, etc. that you see on many other vehicles I would say I'm totally impressed! My vehicle has the 20" rim option which offers a stiff and responsive ride. However I do have winter tires mounted on 18" Nissan rims and I do prefer the smoother ride especially during city driving. The safety features on this vehicle are way beyond anything I've had on another brand of vehicle. The 360 degree surround view, lane departure, collision avoidance, back up monitor, sonar vehicle and pedestrian feature, along with the blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control I would put up against any other domestic vehicle manufacturer out there. If I ever were to look at another vehicle without the above safety features it would be a deal breaker for me. Another interesting feature that I enjoy is a heated steering wheel. I thought it was a novelty until I used it, on the Murano it actually heats the entire steering wheel. Like many vehicles out there the outside esthetics and appearance is a matter of personal taste. For me I find the Murano to have a unique appearance with excellent fit and finish and a touch of chrome trim to add a little more character. When you see the vehicle it definitely stands out in the crowd and it doesn't look like another "cookie cutter" version vehicle that many manufacturers have today. To date I have logged 42,000+ kms of worry free driving I have had only the prescribed oil changes and inspections as prescribed by Nissan. Only the test of time will tell the reliability and durability of this vehicle. So far I would definitely give this vehicle a 5 star rating and I am 100% satisfied with this vehicle.

I had my 2013 Murano for over 10 years. It needed some work done when it took it in recently and I decided to take a look at some certified used 2020 Muranos. I found a beautiful deep pearl blue (which I thought I would never buy) 2020 SL. The car has everything in it I would want. The safety features are excellent. The technology is also very good. The infotainment screen is only 8 inches but is fine for me . AppleCarplay works really well. It has the panoramic sunroof and also heated seats in the front and also the rear. Plenty of cubbies to put things and also at least 2 or 3 USB ports. Overall, the power with the 6 cylinder engine and the CVT is fine. The seats are extremely comfortable as they were in my 2013. It’s a great road trip car. Highly recommend.

Drove home and 2020 murano would NOT go in park or reverse! We have a warranty that covers towing. Long story short we had no assistance locally at dealer or with the towing number!! Ridiculous!! Besides no tow this car should not be torn up at 13k miles!! The mechanic at nissian said it has to have a all new gear assembly! Now I don't trust this car to drive out of town!!! There should be a super easy emergency towing number without a computer also!!! I won't buy another nissan of the one I have had to be repaired at 13k miles!!!!! I am not al all satisfied!!!
