Overview & Reviews

For 2005, the Murano receives a rollover sensor for the side curtain airbags, and a new S model with fewer features and a lower price. New options packages and an Intelligent Key entry and ignition system are newly available.

• Sharp handling, strong standard engine, comfortable and practical interior.

• Continuously variable transmission detracts from performance, SE model rides harshly, no third-row seat.

  Wonderful vehicle for the price... - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By culbeda - March 28 - 4:56 am

  I have been very impressed with the vehicle as a whole. As with any vehicle, there are minor things Id like to change (such as the inability to use the NAV system while driving) but overall, I love the car and highly recommend the SE version for the shifter. Not as much fun to drive as my Maxima, but no slouch for its size. (And it averages at 20MPG in the city, even at high altitude!)

  Love my Murano - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By Cori - March 6 - 12:03 pm

  I have had my Murano for little over a year now and still love to drive it! It is very comfortable and fun to drive, even for long distances. It has alot of leg room for both the front and rear passengers. We switched from a mini-van to the Murano and my kids love it! They are very comfortable with the room and really enjoy the rear seat recline feature- just enough to lean back and take a snooze when were off and running. There are 2 things that I wish Nissan would change - I wish the Murano had an automatic door locking feature and better suspension. The gas mileage is so-so especially with the air on. Very happy with my purchase!

  A Unique Vehicl-Murano - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By Brenda Williams - January 23 - 6:36 pm

  I 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.

  AWESOME AWD SUV - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By JO-ANNE ANDERSON - January 18 - 2:53 am

  I 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!

  05 Murano - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By flash - January 1 - 3:43 am

  Included all but navigation system.Excellent handling, roomy and very smooth riding even though SE model. Would advise CVT trans in any vehicle as it contributes to smoothness. Did change to 265/60/18 tires to improve from original. Critics complain of throttle response; I dont agree. Previously had supercharged V6 and am used to quick response. Do use premium as recommended. Handles well - was forced half off road at 75 with no handling problem. Would like to see higher highway mileage - best is 23mpg - 20 around town.

  Always buy the extended warrantee!! - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By m0mzilla - December 6 - 2:30 am

  Im heartbroken at the collapse of this car after owning it for just over a year! I LOVED it, but out of the blue, with no warnings or dash lights, Im told that my transmission has failed with only 68k miles on the car! The important info is: Nissan does not repair transmissions - they only replace them at a more than $5k cost! Also, no transmission shops can work on them so there are no options. I cant believe this car broke down so quickly and buyer beware - Nissan repairs are insanely expensive!! I wish someone had told me this. I would have bought the extended warrantee.

  Awsome ride - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By Traci - December 5 - 8:53 pm

  I previously owned a Nissan Pathfinder, and I thought that was a nice car... but the Murano blows it away. This is probably the most comfortable riding car Ive been in. I love the styling, very unique, I get a lot of stares. Nissan thought of everything. It has extras I was amazed by. It is a very quiet car, absolutly no road noise. The Bose system is great, I didnt know music could sound that good. I have nothing bad to say about this car.

  My 2005 Murano SL - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By rick_barr - November 8 - 3:23 am

  We started looking at SUVs 2 yrs ago knowing wed buy this yr. After looking at lots of factors and models, we knew the Murano was for us. It replaced a 99 Altima SE which was a great car but couldnt hold much cargo. The Murano really is like a tall more comfortable Altima. Its also as fast as many larger V6 or V8 SUVs but still averages about 21 mpg.
