Overview & Reviews
The Nissan Murano was one of the first midsize crossovers introduced in the United States and quickly became a popular alternative to more traditional SUVs thanks to its taut, carlike driving character and avant-garde styling. Later Nissan Muranos are notable for their higher-quality interiors, updated technology features and higher fuel economy ratings.
New or used, the Murano is definitely worth a look if you're on the hunt for a midsize crossover with seating for five. In reviews, our editors have generally praised this Nissan's sophisticated appearance, stylish and comfortable interior and strong acceleration. Middling cargo capacity and poor rearward visibility are our main complaints about the Nissan Murano. You'll find competing models that are better on one or both of these counts, but most won't match the Murano's combination of performance and style.

Love This Auto! - 2005 Nissan Murano
By Lynn Juillerat - November 11 - 7:30 amThis auto is comfortabale, handles great, is roomy, gets great gas mileage and looks great. I have owned several vehicles in my 30+ years of driving, and for the money - this is by far the best purchase I have ever made. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an SUV.

Quite a luxury ride! - 2009 Nissan Murano
By Kenny - November 9 - 5:10 amBought our 2009 Murano SL FWD one year old used with 18K miles on it. Came loaded with leather package and a dvd system. Gotta say, it is obnoxiously luxurious. Power everything! Dont even need to get my keys out of my pocket to start the car! Imagine when the wife cant find the keys in her purse. No longer a problem! The key fob is smart enough to do everything without having to actually use it. Just gotta be near the car to unlock and start the car! Fantastic driving, very quick acceleration and handling. Rear view camera is cool. Only things I dont like is small rear window and fuel usage. Very nice to have power lift gate for groceries!

Not what we exoected - 2012 Nissan Murano
By jmartinco - November 8 - 2:14 pmBottom line, heres what were disappointed with: Leather seats are nice, but stiff and not comparable to the comfort in Volvo, BMW, VW or Lexus. Very noisy cabin...as bad on the highway as the 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe we were replacing. The rear view is definitely compromised...and seems dangerous. Exterior design sacrifices size for a sleek look, making it more difficult to park and maneuver than it should be. Navigation not user friendly. Dealership didnt give accurate info about the pricing incentives, making us decide on this vehicle prematurely. MPG disappointing. Would we buy it again? No way.

Still Smiling! - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Defrons - November 7 - 10:00 amI have been driving my Sunlit Copper SL AWD for nearly a year now. This is, by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Yes,the mileage is not what they said it would be, however these are only comparison mileage figures, I dont know of a car that actually gets what the sticker says. I get around 19 mpg if I drive like I have good sense. The CVT tranny is tricky at first, if you put your foot in it, it will eat gas. Once I got used to the way it operated it was all good.

BMW X5 Killer - 2004 Nissan Murano
By LeeSki - November 7 - 10:00 amRead Pro car reviews on this vehicle all very highly rate this car. Outperforms BMW X5 and is 10-20K less. If you enjoy driving performance you will not find a better car in this class for the money. Have had car for 7 months now and I am very glad I got the Murano and not the Pilot,Highlander,Ect. This car is fun to drive! It gets lots of looks and people always asking about it. Have driven car on some long trips and through all types of roads, terrain and deep snow. The CVT trans and the 3.5L 245HP is an awsome match. The trans is computer controlled, no gears so it is always at the perfect RPM at any given condition up hill or down hill.

Great Car for the price! - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Dave1901 - November 7 - 10:00 amLoved the car from the first time I saw it. Had been looking at the Infiniti FX35. Murano had all the same features but for 10K less. I have had no problems at all with the car. Its the best car I have ever owned.

Love this car!! - 2004 Nissan Murano
By booyea7768 - November 3 - 10:00 amI couldnt be happier with this car and it is absolutely the best one Ive had in 20 years. Compliments and inquiries are the norm for my Murano. Once while stuck in traffic, a woman rolled down her window to ask me what I thought of the car! One major design flaw which I reported to the dealer is about the rear passenger windows -- if you put them both down at the same time while driving more than 30mph, you hear this very, very, very loud wind beating sound. I took the dealer rep for a ride to show him, and hed never heard anything like that and said hed submit the info to Nissan. Otherwise, I absolutely love this car and will keep it for a long time.

SE Murano AWD - 2003 Nissan Murano
By Pete K. - October 30 - 2:00 amOverall very pleased. AWD eliminates tourque steer and seems more stable, but is a tad slower than FWD . This is the SE and the ride is firm but not uncomfortable. Lots of fun on twisty roads with good steering feedback and excellent tracking. Pushed hard, you will get some understeer before the limit. Great Brakes. The CVT tranny takes getting used to, but I am learning to like it, especially going up hills at 70 to 80 MPH. Gas milage has averaged about 20MPG so far with 50/50 city/hiway. This should improve with break-in. Seats are comfortable, lots of room for my German Shephard in the back, good visability, excellent build quality and paint.

Murano Review - 2003 Nissan Murano
By golfaholic - October 25 - 10:00 amThis vehicle is as fun to drive as it is great to look at. We are asked about it almost everyday from strangers in parking lots and even at stop lights. The handling, power, and comfort are all excellent as compared to others in the same catagory. We test drived almost all the others before deciding on the Murano, and 5 mo.s later, we are still very happy.

AWESOME DRIVING MACHINE - 2003 Nissan Murano
By DAVHAS - October 25 - 10:00 amI was looking for a sports car or a SUV. I found them both in the Murano. I is fast. The ride is great except on bumpy streets is really stiff. It is true dont open your back widows while driving by themselves the cabin presure is unbarable. I will call Nissan about this and hope they can fix it or will trade for the Infiniti FX 35.
