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.

Dream Car - 2003 Nissan Murano
By ssavick - February 17 - 10:00 amWe love our new Murando, It is fun to drive, it is comfortable (we are tall people, there is plenty of head and leg room). The quality is superb, there is no road noice inside car, you can listen to radio or CDs without the competion from wind noices. The car is easy to get in and out, especially important for older people with health problems.

Tall Mans Review - 2003 Nissan Murano
By Jolley Green - February 5 - 2:00 amI bought the Murano because of the amount of interior room & comfort that is in the SUV. My buddy bought one that I sat in and just fell in love with the design and interior space. I had to get one for myself. Overall, the performance & features of the vehicle are execellent. Ive read the complaints about the CVT transmission, however, my experience is just the opposite - quick starts, good excelaration and power to get on busy interstate hwys and to pass slower traffic when necessary.

Exct vehicle, 150k no probs, idiots cant drive - 2009 Nissan Murano
By Ben - January 27 - 6:41 pmBought the 09 LE in late 2008. Had concerns about the CVT since relatively new and unproven. Only maintenance has been routine oil changes and a recall sensor replacement. No issues have arose as of yet which is comparatively amazing next to the 2 dozen other vehicles I have owned. [non-permissible content removed] The technology that Nissan loads in these vehicles easily rivals the $100K German Sedans and in case youve never owned one, you could put 5 transmissions in a Murano for the maintenance costs in the first 150k. And if you are complaining about the audio system, you should see about a hearing aid. Bose makes the best car audio systems available, from the factory or in the aftermarket. You could spend 5 grand on speakers and amps and not come close to the R&D Bose did on the system they through out. Its not the fastest sports car, its not going to win at BAHA nor will it survive an attempt to triple that group of rail road tracks on the other side of town, [non-permissible content removed], it is an excellent car for a small family or even a mature 19 year old. It is easy to drive and can be equipped nearly as well as a BMW or Mercedes, with more room than a sedan and better fuel economy than a Tahoe. It has just about as much power as can be directed through a transmission with no finite gear ratios in what is primarily a front wheel drive vehicle, and that is plenty for anyone that might find themselves transporting anything that might be difficult to replace. I was just trying to see how much more life my Murano has at 150k only to find out most of them explode at less than half that.

Happy Arizona Driver - 2004 Nissan Murano
By Phoenician - January 24 - 10:00 amI love the Murano and I dont have a single complaint about it, except that I had to buy a pair of polarized sun glasses because of glare from Arizona sun against the angle of the windshield.

A Unique Vehicl-Murano - 2005 Nissan Murano
By Brenda Williams - January 23 - 6:36 pmI dont understand the comment about the CVT being energy sapping but it is something to get used to. Now that I have-I love it. It also seems to help the fuel economy. This vehicle is very smooth, luxurious ( I have the Touring package with heated leather ) safe and reliable. It has proven great in the snow ( I have the AWD model ) This SL Model is great and feels like a car. I did try the SE model and that is more like a regular SUV a little prancv. Anyway-alove it and still get a lot of compliments since July ( 8 months ago ) I would buy another one.

Great 2 Row SUV - 2016 Nissan Murano
By Dan - January 19 - 2:28 pmPros: S version finally is not lacking on options and standard features. I have NAV option and its great for the money. S w/ NAV is about $1200 or so cheaper than SV. Great ride; super comfy seats; great electronics and easy to use; lots of space for passengers; good gas mileage: 18 city, 26 HWY real world - 1500 miles so far Cons: Blind spot is an issue but not as bad as it seems; gas mileage in city is not close to sticker; towing figures are laughable... you could easily tow 3500 lbs as its the same engine and trans as the Pathfinder. I towed a 18ft ski boat easily with my old 2003 Murano. the only issue with towing is the hitch sits really low which is probably one of the reasons why its not recommended. I recently towed a jet ski 550 miles each way and on mostly flat surfaces with little wind got 23 mpg at 74mph average. On a recent 100 mile trip gas mileage climbed to 26mpg at 80 mph. Overall this SUV is fantastic for the price. Nissan discounts these so dramatically that its by far the best SUV for the money.

AWESOME AWD SUV - 2005 Nissan Murano
By JO-ANNE ANDERSON - January 18 - 2:53 amI had a Chrysler PT Cruiser which I loved but it sat low so I wanted something that was higher and safer living in the Denver Metro Area where SUVs and Trucks outnumber regular cars about 4 to 1. I kept my Crusier because I thought I wouldnt want to drive a SUV all the time. Well, the Nissan Murano is so sweet, so easy to drive, unique in style compared to others and a dream on ice and snow, I never drove my Cruiser. Even my "duck hunting" husband, who has a 4-door 4X4 Jimmy loves the Murano. Im impressed with Nissan. I didnt have to take it back for one thing from the day I got it, no detail problem, no mechanical. I get plenty of power so I dont understand your comments. This AWD SUV Rocks!

Wonderful - 2003 Nissan Murano
By JORDAN - January 16 - 2:00 amI was in the market for a SUV since my wife will be expecting our first baby. Ive searched and checked with a lot of magazines about SUVs and thier reviews, but after taking a test drive and looking in depth on the Murano, I found a perfect SUV that had everything to offer and then some. The ride quality, gas milage, space and dont forget about the desing. Every new technology was put into this SUV and from the exterior design, the Murano will not go out of style even after 6 to 10 years from now.
