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.

  Safety First! - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By Michael Richardson - March 12 - 8:30 pm

  I was not sure that I was going to actually make the purchase of my Murano. Yet while taking it for a test drive and to show it to my wife I was rear ended. Only a few scratches were on the bumper and one quarter sized dent on the tailgate. However the other driver was in a Isuzu Rodeo and had major damage done to the vehicle to the extent that it could not be driven. I still to the Murano and showed it to my wife with damage and all and explained what had happened. (My wife also drives a Isuzu Rodeo) Needless to say on returning to the dealership I picked out another Murano the just had come in that morning an immediately made the purchase thinking safety first.

  Great steering feel, transmission requires 200 miles befor it quiets down, tire noise also vanishes after 200 miles.

  2005 Murano AWD SE with Nav, Tech, Sport - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By Rich4Four - January 28 - 3:10 am

  Transitioning from a Chrysler Town & Country AWD minivan to a Nissan Murano SE AWD is a complete delight. Minivans are not much of a drivers car as much as they are good for long distance cruising. To delight the driver in everyone, the Nissan Murano delivers sports car like acceleration, comfortable high position seating, performance tires, suspension and brakes and the MOST smoothest transmission I have ever experienced in any vehicle. Add the naviagation and DVD entertainment packages and you have the best of both worlds between minivan driving needs and the car driver looking for performance yet comfort and amenities. I am delighted by the overall package delivered by Nissan.

  engine and transmission problems? - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By dudej - January 28 - 12:43 am

  My 2005 SE AWD used oil. Fortunately my 2005 Murano was under warranty for the engine replacement ( using oil with no visible burn or leak) at 80,000 miles and for the transmission replacement at 128,000 miles. Engine mount replacements, driver seat motor, and CV joint! I bought the Silver warranty at the dealership and then extended it as long as I could (140,000). Thank God!

  By Maria - January 12 - 6:50 pm

  I have owned many vehicles in my time but this is by far the best suv on the market today. I am a big woman and I feel like a little girl inside this truck. Now if you can make it in a convertible "My dreams will come true"

  Love it! - 2005 Nissan Murano
  By Srikanth - January 11 - 6:20 am

  I love my 2005 Nissan Murano so far. It has a nice ride and gets decent mileage. I like the exterior very much and it handles well in snow. I also looked at the Honda Pilot, Mitsubishi Endeavor, and Acura MDX, but settled for the Murano since we did not need the third row seat and liked the ride and performance.
