Nissan Murano Research & Reviews

Model Overview:

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.

  • The Perfect Compromise - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    This car is the perfect compromise between sport and utility for a family. Great interior room and incredible looks and performance. Incredible ride. CVT is smooth and powerful - and I love the Ds gear for added power. Even during break-in, I can average 27 mpg on some highway trips. Have had none of the "infamous" rattle problems ... yet (fingers crossed). "Wind buffeting" problems have been fixed - no problems with sunroof or rear windows down at speeds over 45 mph. Got a great deal - invoice in Chicago. Contact me at shindig@lycos.com for more info. For the money and features, blows away the competition.

  • Murano AWD- a great cross-over SUV - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    After looking at all the crossover vehicles (Pilot, Highlander, Murano and Toureg), we selected the Murano. All the vehicles offered great rides and performance, but we didn’t like the looks of the Honda. It looked very generic SUV. After owning the Murano for five months, we are very pleased. We have had no problems and we just love this vehicle.

  • Good value for the dollar - 2007 Nissan Murano
    By -

    Ordered my 07 SL AWD Touring w/ Nav and VDC (Platinum exterior and caffe interior) mid August and finally got delivery of the vehicle about two weeks ago. The ride is very smooth and acceleration is adequate. Braking is very responsive and navigation system has been able to find all addresses Ive entered so far even brand new streets. Owned a Jeep previously and the stability of the Murano is much better, no roll. Im averaging around 21 mpg. Also purchased extended warranty (6 yrs/72,000 miles) for $995 which was a good deal.

  • Nothing Like It! - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    When we bought it, there was truly nothing like it on the market... CVT tranny, 18" wheels. It is a blast to drive and extremely practical. Drives and handles like a powerful sports sedan but sits you up higher and more comfortably more like a SUV or mini van. (But this for sure aint no mini van...) We still get tons of compliments on it and it almost two years old. This is a real machine.

  • My "new" baby - 2004 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I just got my Morano in July. I absolutely adore it! Its fun to drive, handles amazingly and rides extremely smooth. It has great acceleration when getting on the highway. The ONLY negative thing I can say about it is the fuel economy. I have been getting approximately 16.5 MPG. Id been hoping for better gas mileage, but I truly love it and wouldnt hesitate to buy another one!

  • My First SUV - 2007 Nissan Murano
    By -

    I just bought my first SUV, the Murano SL AWD with touring and towing packages. After 6 years of driving a BMW 325CI I was a bit nervous about my new driving experience. I drove the Pilot, Highlander, RAV4, Edge, Touareg, RDX, CX7, CX9, FX35, and RX350. The last test drive was the Murano SL. I was pleasantly surprised at the acceleration and handling of the Murano. Its loaded with features that were found in the pricier SUVs, but for $6K-$8K less, and the fit and finish are top notch. Its too early to accurately predict fuel economy, but I expect numbers in the range of 18/23, about norm for size and weight of the vehicle. The Murano offers lots of bang for the buck.

  • The Best thing on four Wheels - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    The Murano is simply the best vehicle I have test driven and I have driven quite a few, From the Highlander, Pilot, Trailblazer, Axiom, Etc.. Great sound system (Bose), great handling and design inside and out. All the other car companies need to watch out because Nissan is no longer on life support with the new Z and the Murano. Nissan will put A strangle hold on the Mid price market. I have yet to see another Murano around my town, but i dont think that will last long. Best Midsize SUV Hands down.

  • Some reviewers out to lunch - get real! - 2003 Nissan Murano
    By -

    My buddy and I were the first in our SW Ontario city to test drive one of these beauties. Hes driven both models several times each. Nothing in this category compares to this vehicle in looks, design, quality, handling, power, or price, and weve driven lots of small/mid-size SUVs. These people who say otherwise dont know their arse from a hole in the ground! They expect Japanese quality for domestic price - this aint no Ford Escape or breeder wagon. Test drive one - anyone smart enough to know a decent vehicle will love it. If you think this vehicle is overpriced, you cant afford one anyway. Check out the Infiniti FX35 or FX45 if youve got lots of money.
