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.

Overview
With an abundance of interior room and high-quality interior materials, the 2022 Nissan Murano's strengths are typical for the midsize SUV class. Now in this generation's eighth year of production, however, the 2022 Murano is past its prime. Though not a terrible vehicle on its own, the Murano pales in comparison to its direct rivals, which are generally newer and offer features not present on the Murano.

Even the Murano's smaller sibling, the Nissan Rogue, shows how SUV design has moved on. Nissan redesigned the Rogue last year, and an increase in front and rear legroom was one of its many upgrades over the previous iteration. The Rogue's legroom is now virtually identical to that of the Murano. The Rogue even boasts more cargo space than the Murano, a newer infotainment system, and more of the latest advanced driver aids.
Unless you absolutely need the extra oomph afforded by the Murano's V6, the Rogue offers more bang for the buck. And if you do want extra power or the latest in features, other midsize SUVs such as the Honda Passport and Hyundai Santa Fe are more compelling. Read our Expert Rating for a full breakdown of the Murano's hits and misses.
What's it like to live with?
We tested a 2015 Nissan Murano and drove it for an entire year, documenting all our ups and downs with this comfy midsize SUV. Not much has changed with the Murano since then, so our impressions are just as relevant today. If you're thinking of buying a Nissan Murano, make sure to check out our long-term test page, where we cover everything from some surprising maintenance costs to the joys of ventilated seats.
Edmunds Expert Rating

by the Edmunds Experts
Below Average
7.1
out of 10
We drove the 2022 Nissan Murano on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7/10
How does the Murano drive? The standard 3.5-liter V6 engine packs enough power for typical daily driving, delivering good acceleration when called upon. It's helped by a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that's better than the industry average. Consistent, reliable power is delivered to the road without noticeable gear changes except under hard acceleration.
The Murano's driving dynamics are generally positive as well. The speed-sensitive steering aids stability, and the Murano handles increased speeds around corners better than many midsize SUVs. You really have to jam on the brakes to deliver maximum stopping power, but otherwise the pedal feel is consistent and actual braking performance is adequate.

You really have to jam on the brakes to deliver maximum stopping power, but otherwise the pedal feel is consistent and actual braking performance is adequate.
Comfort
8/10
How comfortable is the Murano? The Murano's front and rear seats are plush and supportive in all the right spots, providing the exact comfort you want on long drives. Dual-zone climate control is standard and has hard-working yet quiet air conditioning. You might even find yourself dialing the system back. The heated and cooled seat features are powerful, though seat ventilation is only available on the top Platinum trim.
Again, the CVT automatic doesn't compromise the Murano as much as similar transmissions do in other vehicles. There's no droning sound inside the cabin and it makes a pleasing noise at full throttle. The ride quality could be smoother, but we suspect the culprit was the 20-inch wheels on top trim levels.

Interior
7/10
How’s the interior? The Murano's buttons and dials are intuitive to use. It's easy to find a comfortable driver's position, and there's ample headroom and shoulder room. But legroom for rear passengers is a bit cramped for a midsize SUV.
The large doors and wide openings make getting in and out easy, though the size of the doors means you need to be careful in tight spots. The unique styling compromises the Murano when it comes to visibility too. The tall hood and sloping roofline translate to small front and rear windows. The SUV feels bigger than it is, forcing you to rely on the blind-spot monitoring system.

Technology
7/10
How’s the tech? The 8-inch touchscreen immediately looks dated and simple, but that makes it easy to use. It's responsive and easy to operate, and the optional 11-speaker Bose audio system delivers crisp and clear music. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration is standard, and pairing Bluetooth is a straightforward process. Other tech features include navigation with effective voice control and NissanConnect services.
The advanced safety equipment is generally a highlight, and for the most part, these features work well. The adaptive cruise control system slows down smartly with traffic but is hesitant to resume speed again.

Storage
7/10
How’s the storage? Some midsize SUVs can tow more than 5,000 pounds, but the Murano musters a maximum capacity of just 1,500 pounds. It also has less cargo space than its competitors, though the max 32.1 cubic feet behind the rear seats and the 67 cubic feet with the second row folded flat is adequate.
Inside, there aren't many storage spaces for small items. The center console is modestly sized, and the door pockets can't hold a water bottle. The back seat offers little more than a center armrest with two cupholders. Got kids? The Murano's accessible lower LATCH anchors and tether anchoring points make it easy to install child safety seats.

Fuel Economy
6.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? Our all-wheel-drive test Murano beat its EPA estimate of 23 mpg combined on our 115-mile evaluation route, which is better than most competitors. But its 18.9 mpg average over the course of roughly 800 miles of mixed driving in two weeks fell under the EPA's city rating.
Value
7/10
Is the Murano a good value? Fit and finish is generally positive in the Murano, and marble-like interior plastics give a luxurious impression. The exceptionally comfortable seats add to the value equation. A nicely equipped version with the features you want comes close to $40,000, which is in line with direct competitors.
Nissan offers an industry-average basic and powertrain warranty. Extended protection is available for up to eight years and 120,000 miles. There is also an available three-year free trial subscription for remote door locking and maintenance alerts and a six-month free trial program for collision notification and stolen vehicle location.

Wildcard
6.5/10
Like it or not, the Murano stands out because of its distinctive styling. The driving experience, however, is hampered by poor visibility and average handling that make the Murano feel larger than it is. A powerful engine helps but doesn't kick the SUV into the upper echelon of fun vehicles to drive.
2022 Nissan Murano trim level differences
The 2022 Nissan Murano is a midsize SUV offered in four trims: S, SV, SL and Platinum. A 3.5-liter V6 engine (260 horsepower, 240 lb-ft) comes standard on all trim levels and is matched to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are available across the range. Feature highlights include: Compare the 2022 Nissan Murano trim levels in-depth.
Which Murano trim does Edmunds recommend?
While the S and SV are attractively priced, the Murano really starts to shine at the SL level. It swaps out the SV's imitation leather upholstery for the real thing and adds a hands-free liftgate, navigation and an upgraded sound system.

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!
2nd Murano 16 years later, even better, Love It!

2021 Nissan Murano SL 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl CVT)
Great Vehicle and I have driven several SUV's over the years including a Lexus G series. Emergency breaking saved me from an accident yesterday with the auto braking when everyone came to a panic stop. The SL is almost the top of the line and is very well-appointed inside and out and super comfortable. 260 hp v6, great winter driving. Nissan Rocks!
would buy it again

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.
Good purchase

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.
