  went from an RX350 - 2016 Nissan Murano
  By s b - June 10 - 8:33 am

  I have owned 2 Nissan Muranos in the past I wanted to get another one, at that time the new style wasnt out and I couldnt wait so I opted for the competition. With less than 4 months left on my lease i made the decision, I went back to the Murano and couldnt be happier. Do not I repeat do underestimate this SUV. You need to drive it just like I did, Nissan did an excellent job and went to the max to Redefine.

  Luxury Features Without the Cost or Cachet - 2016 Nissan Murano
  By Skip Smith - December 30 - 4:05 pm

  We purchased a 2016 Acura RDX and traded in a 2012 Murano to move up to a luxury SUV with the RDX model. With less than 8000 miles on the Acura in the first several months, we traded the Acura on a 2016 Murano. Despite the higher cost, the Acura did not come up to the features, comfort or performance of the new Murano. We traded the Acura with less than 8000 miles for $1.00 for a 2016 Murano Platinum model. The navigation system on the Murano is easy to use and very intuitive. On the interstate, the rest areas are tracked along with exits. The map shows a 3D view, 2D view with various options for showing the map view. Entering a new destination is quick and easy. The CVT transmission is smooth and puts the operation of some luxury models to shame. Our first trip was a 10 hour drive. The seats in the Murano are the most comfortable of any car we have owned—most of which were luxury brands. The lumbar support is excellent and the seat surrounds the body to keep the driver comfortable throughout a long trip. Acceleration is excellent, layout of the dashboard is easy to read. Mileage on the trip was 28.6 with most driving on interstate highways and using regular gas. Our only complaint: The NissanConnect features do not work well with an IPhone. Presumably, it works well with an android phone. The Nissan support line recommended only using an Apple cord to connect with the phone and the USB port. That seems unnecessary but even with the more expensive Apple cord, the NissanConnect system would not operate most of the programs. This is our second Murano. The technology has improved over the 2012 model we owned, the gas mileage is improved, and the seats are more comfortable. The first Murano went 90,000 without any problems. So far, the 2016 is even better.

  Great Car-Bad Back up sensors - 2016 Nissan Murano
  By Mike - August 7 - 5:04 pm

  Two things I dont like are Nav screen gets sun glare and the back up sensors are quite and only beep once. Other that those 2 items the car is great and fun to drive. I believe the price is well worth it. We purchase the Platinum AWD with tech package.

  murano musings - 2016 Nissan Murano
  By stephen ober - August 5 - 2:07 pm

  Weve only had it a month so I cant comment on reliability, but other reviews seem to have been spot on. Very comfortable, enough power, decent mpg and nice to look at. They seemed to have gotten the CVT figured out, its not offensive, which is high praise because until this one Ive had no use for them. If you tow things, go mudding or want a sports car in SUV clothing this isnt it. If youre an empty nester and need to haul your stuff around on trips this is as good as it gets. Let me mention again - this car is really comfortable. The computer interface is well done, its intuitive and easy to use. The interior materials are very nice and the layout is spacious. I really like the motor, its got plenty of power and uses regular gas. I dont have much use for twin turbo 4s that need premium which are what the majority of its competitors are doing. All in all were very happy with this car, if you need an SUV and want a comfort cruiser this is definitely worth a look.

  Bought used, drives like new - 2016 Nissan Murano
  By Tom in SW Va - June 23 - 6:46 pm

  I did a great deal of research before buying my 2011 Murano LE. It had almost 40k miles on it, but it was in showroom condition, and after 14 months, still is. It is the most comfortable SUV Ive driven, by far, and the interior is that of a much more expensive brand. The CVT transmission is terrific, with no jerks or pauses at all, and the power is exactly what I wanted with the 6 cyl engine. I know the 4s are better than in the past, but still not enough power for me on the highway. The cargo area is quite roomy, particularly with the 2nd row seats folded down, and the rear leg room is much better than similar sized vehicles. I cannot say enough about the comfort of the front seats. I would recommend purchase of either the LE or Platinum version of the Murano, because it truly is a luxury car at a reasonable price. My only regret is that this otherwise perfect Murano was not equipped with the Navigation feature. Other than that, it was exactly the vehicle I was looking for, down to the exterior and interior colors. If I ever purchase another SUV, it will likely be a Murano, as additional features have been added in years subsequent to the 2011.

  IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VEHICLE ALL MY LIFE - 2016 Nissan Murano
  By Howard Kornblum - November 22 - 2:36 am

  HAVE OWNED HONDAS FOR 30 YEARS. I have driven Nissans such as the Altima and Maxima and was always very impressed with the pickup, the way the cars handled, the interiors, the finishes and the beauty of the cars. Well, It was time to by a new vehicle after owning my last Honda for 18 years (and will NEVER buy a Honda again when the perfectly maintained car blew its engine at 92K miles and Honda would do nothing, except loose a customer FOREVER) and then I saw the resigned Murano. This car sent be right over the top. I am not a car nut but then I saw this and it was instant love. The test drive was perfect. great on the street, terrific pickup with no lag, smooth as silk cornering ability plus the sexiest of both interiors AND exteriors. People have been stopping my and asking what car is that. I scream Its the new Nissan Murano and you have to buy one." It is so luxurious on the inside pickups like a dream and corners on rails, so you can make it whatever you want, a Sport SUV or one that fits your driving style. Personally pickup without lag is extremely important to me as are making smooth turns with a hard turn of the steering wheel. This vehicle delivers on both and so much more. Hey this LA where you are driving next to cars out there for 100K to 2M and this car with its 20 inch rims and flashy new design still have people looking so the redesign is also beautiful. The one criticism I dont understand it cargo space. Mine has a ton when my rear seats are down. I recently put in enough planning material for a 40 hedge so I am not sure what the critics are talking about. When the seat are up, there is still plenty of room for all the sporting gear, groceries, etc. This car is a winner. It is a 5/5 and worth every penny. It is the best car I have ever owned and one of the best cars I have ever driven in.

  2016 Murano platinum - 2016 Nissan Murano
  By tanooz - September 12 - 10:03 am

  I have owned Muranos since 2007, which was my favorite. The new platinum is beautiful. The interior is luxurious much like the Infiniti with all the bells and whistles. My negatives are, the engine is much louder, and the back seat leg room is much smaller. Having the larger wheel makes for a harder ride. I still love the car.

  A Nifty Nissan - 2016 Nissan Murano
  By mike murphy - September 8 - 1:14 pm

  To start let me post this caveat: This is my 4th Murano SL AWD. I put over 20,000 miles a year in it and I generally trade it in at the 60K mark. In short, I love this SUV. I tried to change it up and looked at the BMW, Volvo, Lincoln, Acura and Lexus, each one more expensive, yet, none could compare. Roomiest back seat in the class. Great acceleration, even better reliability and for an SUV a smooth comfortable ride. On the negative side I find the headlights could be brighter and on my first Murano the lights had a 3 way position switch (low, medium, high) you could utilize. This was a great feature when driving on dark, winding back roads. It negated the need to use your high beams and the accompanying glare that high beams brings. They should bring this back. I also find the NAV system can be a bit unwieldy and the POI feature is a waste.
