2022 Nissan Murano Review

Price Range: $17,994 - $32,590

Nissan Murano Platinum 4dr SUV Exterior Shown

The 2022 Nissan Murano stands out for its striking exterior design and comfortable seats. It also has a powerful engine. But that styling comes at a cost. The sloping roofline cuts into rear visibility, making the Murano feel larger than it is. Towing capacity is also low for the class. This midsize SUV offers value and character, but it is not as versatile as competitors.

2022 Nissan Murano Review

What is the Murano?

The Nissan Murano is a midsize SUV with seating for five passengers. It was last redesigned in 2015 so it seems likely that we'll see an all-new Murano for the 2022 model year.

With a redesign, we expect it to adopt Nissan's graceful new styling that's shown on the upcoming all-electric Ariya. It's a fair bet that we'll see more economical engine choices and a thorough update for all safety and technology features. As it stands now, the Murano uses a 260-horsepower V6 engine and a continuously variable automatic transmission, and it trails our better-rated picks including the Honda Passport, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport and Toyota Venza at the top of the class.

Edmunds says

The Nissan Murano scores well in comfort and interior refinement but trails several rivals in the highly competitive midsize SUV class. Its age is certainly a drawback, but the Murano's limited cargo capacity and compromised visibility have been present from Day One. If you're interested in buying, we suggest waiting for the probable 2022 redesign.

Love my Murano!

Mel Fox, 05/21/2020

2020 Nissan Murano SL 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

Smooth ride and is a beast in the New England snow! I have had this car for 3 years with no problems! I have the SL with soft leather, heated seats, panoramic moon roof, Navi with a nice big screen, Bose speakers and 360 camera. Amazing and good size for a mid size SUV! Fully loaded at a great price!

outstanding

2020 Nissan Murano Platinum 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

2021 Nissan Murano SV 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)

Overall it is a good deal. Fairly sporty, comfy, Bose speakers, low road noise. Had the distance pacing cruise replaced due to malfunction after a few thousand miles. The front A pillars can affect visibility more so when you look for vehicles coming from the sides. Got used to it. Mileage is not bad, mid 20's average.

Safety

Our experts like the Murano models:

Automatic Emergency Braking: Front radar monitors proximity to the vehicle ahead. In an imminent collision, the Murano can apply the brakes to avoid or mitigate impact.
Blind-Spot Warning: The Murano's stylish exterior makes for reduced side and rear visibility, but this feature helps compensate. It's standard on all models.
Intelligent Around View Monitor: Displays a 360-degree, top-down image of the SUV. Selectable curbside view works great for parking.
