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.

Perfect SUV for me - 2004 Nissan Murano
By mhardy - May 7 - 2:00 amMy wife and I were in the market for another SUV. We already have an Acura MDX (which we love), so we wanted a smaller SUV. I had looked at the Toyota Highlander before and really liked it. However, once I saw and drove the Murano I knew it was the car for us. Its the perfect combination of size, comfort, flexibility and performance. I was surprised to see the Murano has many features you would expect to find in a Lexus or Acura...even some features our Acura doesnt have.

Excellent SUV - 2009 Nissan Murano
By Ken - May 4 - 2:00 amThis Murano is quite possibly the best overall vehicle Ive ever had. The back-up camera is phenomenal; the keyless starter is really nice - I dont carry keys anymore. I cant believe the gas mileage - typically always around 22-23 MPG whether I use regular or premium gas. The ride is comfortable but sporty. The leather seats are firm and very comfortable. Additions like the electronic telescopic wheel just add to the overall enjoyment. You must try this one out.

Shifting into trouble - 2009 Nissan Murano
By Lisa - May 2 - 1:32 amI thought I had purchased a great car, having no problems until it hit 150,000 miles. It became sluggish shifting from 1st to 2nd gear…..needs a new transmission to the tune of $4,000. I have owned several cars with over 150,000 and have never needed a new transmission. Check engine light has been on for almost 2 years and was told that it is a defect with the gas tank. I will never buy another Nissan!!!

Not bad! - 2005 Nissan Murano
By Dan - April 23 - 1:43 pmI bought the best package because it was available slightly used (only 6500k miles. I owned a Ford Escape prior, so this is pure luxury for me. The comfort level is high, the leather is soft, and after having a hip replacement Ive been able to drive easily and get in and out comfortably. The intelligent key is great! The Murano is sturdy and a great road trip vehicle. My passengers love it. I also love it for the not so necessary things, like the Bose system and the large sunroof. The only thing I dont love about it so far is the fact that the rear view is less "open" compared to the Escape, but Ive gotten used to it. I feel the need to turn all the way around when making a turn.

The best in its price range.... - 2005 Nissan Murano
By Kee - April 22 - 6:43 amHas sharp handling and cornering like a sports sedan... Strong engine... Good gas mileage for its size... Huge leg room in rear... Thing I dont like about this car is CVT which eats up Horse Power and Torque....

I love my 2004 Nissan Murano.. so far.. lol - 2004 Nissan Murano
By tish86 - April 16 - 10:45 pmI just got my 2004 Nissan Murano at a cheap price with high miles a little over 140k but have been told for years since I was a teenager that Nissans are good cars and last for a long time. I never realized though that it would be so costly.. but its worth it. I get looks whenever I drive my truck and love it. I do need to replace the tires and its a bummer that I have to replace all four instead of just the usual one that I am used to. The best deal that I came across was from Walmart for $550.00 for all four. It drives smooth so far and no problems so far.. will keep posted. Of course a suv is gonna be more costly to keep up then a car but I have three kids so I need a suv

Great Improvement - 2009 Nissan Murano
By Dan - April 16 - 11:33 amI owned a 2005 Murano, which unfortunately was totaled after 38K miles. Looked at the Highlander, Pilot, Venza, and Infiniti FX. Ended up purchasing the 09 Murano LE and have no regrets. Best of all worlds: Power, comfort, tons of gadgets. Feels like a completely different vehicle than the 05 model...across the board a great improvement.

Run Far away and dont look back - 2004 Nissan Murano
By garry - April 15 - 2:11 pmThe car is good for first few years until the repairs start coming in. So many issues where do I begin, bought the 04 Murano in 06. It ran good until it hit 100K. The engine started burning oil about a quart/week. No thatt not normal. The suspension is the worst I have seen on any car. Every few months tie rods or control arm or something with suspension is going wrong. The stereo stopped working. The rear door latch has be greased every few months. The part/repairs are so costly its like owning a BMW. Hard to work on because its so hard to replace things in the engine. Bad Design on nissans part. Not buying a Nissan again, especially due to their V6 burning oil. Such disappointment. Wipe blade linkage became lose and had to replace the whole motor. The leather is cheap and ripped. The good about the car, AWD.
