Nissan Murano Review

- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2024
- Murano mid-sized SUV featuring bold new styling, interior refinements and a lower starting price. Sold in front wheel drive and all wheel drive. The AWD mid-sized crossover utility vehicle has room for 5-passengers and comes with a V6 engine. The Murano even competes with some premium utility vehicles.With a 3.5L V6 engine and a CVT, the ride is upscale and so is the cabin considering this utility starts at just $31,000.

My wife Dawn and I just bought the Murano SL. AWD in gun metal. Detailed her with ceramic sealer. Super shine . Love her ! Update : this 2020/ was totaled in a head on crash Sept. 2021 . I ordered a 2022 Platinum , but with the supply chain issues , we took delivery of a SL AWD in Magnetic Black Pearl with Graphite interior with moonroof package . Love her . This is our first ever vehicle with a moonroof package ! We also had her undercoated which also enhances the quietness of the interior . Perfect size for us ! Our 2020 , with all of the air bags that were deployed , saved us from even more severe injuries than what we did get . No brainer going back to a Murano !
I test drove a lot of vehicles, including a couple of luxury ones. Nissan Murano simply stood out a winner. Great comfort, very composed and quiet ride, surprisingly good handling for its size; overall a premium vehicle with a Nissan logo and hence very reasonable price. The look is very stylish from certain angles, especially from side and rear. Only complain is the front doesn't look too good.
Agree nissan needs to upgrade the front, it looks old, and out of style
Strongly disagree.
Yes I like the Maxima
@@TRUTHISABSOLUTE777 On what though? The look or the handling? Also my comment is a bit outdated haha since it's all about electric vehicles now. Model X all the way!
@@lcsxwtian the look. I just find the car to be pretty sharp in the front. Strongly agree with you on the handling.
Your review shows the EXACT reasons we purchased our Murano. We have about a thousand miles on it now and we love it. I don’t have to do a review because you just did it!
Having owned the previous generation Nissan Murano (2013) for 5 years. I did not have a single issue with this SUV. Great vehicle with loads of power on the open road.
I owned this car for a few years and I LOVED it....traded it in for a 2019 Corvette and created a RUclips channel to share my ownership experiences but I am honestly thinking of buying this SUV again! It was that good....Great review
Reliably the best reviews of cars on youtube. Literally every time.
We bought the AWD 2018 and absolutely love it!
Is it reliable?
Zack your reviews are always dependable and to the point. You know what a consumer should look for in a vehicle. No gimmicks at all. Great review!
Truth And Nothing But Truth yup, the man that said drum brakes don't matter is telling the truth. Are you his brother?
I agree 👍
Really well put together and informative video. Truly enjoyed it. Thanks.
This is great. You packed a ton of expert info into an easy-to-consume video. I’m not in the market for this vehicle, but I still gleaned some useful information... it’s also got me thinking about the Sentra (which is more of an Uber car, which is what I’d like)
Damn That Color Combo is a Knockout!!! First Time I've Ever Seen That on a Murano!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE my Murano! Fit, Finish, Conveniences & Performance are exceptional for the money.
We bought a 2019 Platinum Murano FWD in white this spring. No road trips yet but it is very comfortable and my wife enjoys driving it.
Excellent review!
Nice review! I am getting a 2021 so these are helpful.
My mom owns a first gen 2007 murano and for it being a 07 car the interior feels well built and not like plastic thats going to fall off, very nice suv
Random Reviews Love my 2007 SL all wheel drive💯❤️
@@jfmthuglove , should I get the 2018 or wait for the 2019?
@@A-Oreal wait great suv
Kieth Lemaster how reliable is it ???
Great review!
I have a 2017.5 murano and love love love it
by buddy bought a platinum edition and yes the seats are ultra comfortable
Bought a 2018 MURANO SL Back in Feb and we LOVE IT!!!!!! Pearl White w Black Leather Interior,BOSE AUDIO That ROCKS and I REALLY LIKE The Manual Shift Mode!!!!!!
Have you had any issues with it?
Murano is definitely a sleeper. It’s very comfortable quiet and smooth. I did find it sort of difficult to maneuver in tight parking lots but for cruising, its very easy to drive. The seats are very comfortable - even the cloth ones.
Love my Murano SV
Awesome 👏 review 🙌🙌
Wow that is one hof looking suv. Wife has the 2011 sl. Loves it. I think im looking at her future.
I have a 2017 Pathfinder with the CVT and I don't mind it at all! It's smooth and efficient and packs enough punch when needed.
Not sure why people don't cross-shop the murano and the CR-V. The are both are 5-passenger and ct driven. But the crv is frumpy by comparison. It also doesn't have murano's: panorwmic roof, cooled seats and the 260hpv6 outperforms the crv's turbo. The bigger murano is faster, more premium and has a surround view cam, 20" rims and bose sound with a radar that sees 2 cars ahead. None of which the CRv has at any price. Murano wins! It only loses to the CRvin mpg; but you gain80hp over the crv and a somewhat sportier ride. Not to mention stunning looks, exceptional comfort dndplenty of space.
Beautiful car !Thanks.
Another great review. Thanks Zack. Although I will never buy an C/SUV like this. I do like what it looks like on the road. Quite refreshing. I wish Nissan/Infinity well... but they haven’t had my attention since the RX7! Oh wait... that’d be Mazda. ... well.... either company. Thanks again for the video.
Honda pilot touch up pain
I suffer from Lumbar Spine terrible back pain, and I travel for 5 hours in one of
this vehicle, the heated seat does help also. Comfortable seat.
An excellent review and I couldn't agree more with " Tian Cai " below. If a new vehicle is in your future get out there and start test driving ,,, do your homework. We bought a fully loaded Murano SL eight months ago, in my opinion of all the vehicles I've owned over the years this one is a real stand out. Five stars for comfort and I've never really noticed the CVT, this vehicle is as smooth as they come. I'm a big Pavarotti fan and playing his music on the Bose premium sound system is wonderful. I'm quite impressed with the built in safety features, well done Nissan. I checked out the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V ,,, nice but not even close to the Murano when it comes to " bang for your buck ". I'm delighted with the performance of the 3.5L engine nice to have that juice under the hood when you need it. Highway driving plain and simple ,, smooth and comfortable, so test drive other makes like I did ,, Infinity and Lexus ,, way overpriced and expensive service. Toyota and Honda ,,, Toyota RAV4 ,, $ 2988.70 priced higher than the Murano ,,, Honda CR-V $ 3265.00 higher than the Murano.Both of these vehicles were nicely equipped but way behind in what they offered and on top of that both of those vehicles have four cylinder engines. A very nice vehicle indeed, good job Nissan ,,, two thumbs up !!
We had a first year 03' SE AWD Murano. It was quite high tech for it's time. However, we started feeling the "cheap" underpinnings after 10K miles. The suspension bottomed out and brake rotors warped. We sold it at 66K, after warranty expired, as folks started experiencing CVT failure'. We STILL look at nice first generation versions, and love THAT style. Thanks.
Darrell Borland I have a 2004 SL AWD, we still have it, it currently has 165,000 miles, suspension bottomed out as well, brakes are shit, I’ve replaced the alternator soooo many times,
It has absolutely no power and I’m surprised the CVT still works
I swore on my existence I would never purchase a Nissan ever again 😂
Fernando Torres But it's lasted you for 165,000. Is it really that bad?
Good thing they have improved alot of there things since then
Robert Shaw , Well, it’s been very problematic 165,000 miles 😂 But I can say I’m very surprised it still runs. I was going to trade it in for Honda Odyssey Touring in 2009, but the Murano lost so much value at that point, I said, well fuck! So I got a Odyssey EX-L w/ Nav & DVD and kept se Murano
The Odyssey is at 134,000, problem free, knock on wood! haha
Fernando Torres good choice. Honda is definatly more reliable than Nissan, overall.
I got my 2020 and love it,,took a week to figure out options,,got it in black,and it gets tons of looks when polished up,,I wash it every 2 days,,
Love this vehicle
❤❤❤ it !
SUV version of the Maxima.
I like my 2017.5 quite a lot.
Always liked the Murano. Nissan knows how to do crossovers.
What a beautiful car, so streamlined!
Great review. As a new owner of a 2018 Murano SL, I have to agree. Surprising bang for the buck compared to Jeep, Acura, Lexus. Agree about the CVT but that probably helps the fuel economy. I normally like to have a some oomph under the hood, but I don't think it's too lacking there, slightly less than my last vehicle (CTS 3.6). Can't say I noticed the lack of resolution on the cameras, but also have nothing to compare it to, as I haven't had that feature on previous vehicles. Glad they stayed with the V6 I was surprised when the Acura salesman said everyone's going to turbo 4cyl.
Steve Mason yes the backup camera resolution is absolutely horrific compared to other vehicles. Looks like it borrowed 80s tv parts for the build. i am constantly reminded of it every time i use it. Unacceptable in a 40k plus vehicle. the car has been amazing otherwise
Guess I'm glad it's my first car with cameras. Blissfully ignorant :)
Very nice suv i need that
Just purchased a 2018 Platinum with less the 18,000 miles on it. Have always liked the looks of the Murano simply because it didn't look like other suvs (a square box driving down the road) and believe I made a great choice. Interior finish is great, I'm 6'3" and seating is more than adequate, power is good, though I'd prefer a standard type trnasmission.
Looks good.
I love my Murano
Kudos for pointing out that not all buyers want power and speed.
Really Like the MURANO
Review the 2019 refresh model! It finally gets a whole new infotainment and a better look
Cashmere leather light interior seems nice but looks like it won’t be available in Canada unfortunately. One feature I would wait for to be introduced incoming years is nissans pro pilot assist which is only available in Rogue currently. That would make the Murano comparable to the comforts of xc60 without the air suspension
I love it
We purchased a 2017.5 Murano SL and this is our 2nd Murano. The other was in 2005 SL. There are a lot of improvements. The seats, ext. design, but the greatest is the gas mileage. The 2005 avg. 25.5 on the highway. The new one on the highway gets an average of 31.mpg which is outstanding as it was rated 28 mpg from the factory. It appears to have the same engine size and cvt so I don't know why the difference in gas mileage. Having some trouble with infotainment screen but dealer is working with me on this as it comes and goes.
How is your car so far? I am planning to get the same 2017 Nissan Murano and I would like a honest review on it. Thanks I will appreciate your reply.
Отличная тачка! Молодцы Ниссан!
Nissan really slept on tbh. Really nice cars I always ignored till I had to rent one.
I've seen majority of your reviews, and tbh you rate or review these vehicles very nicely. Can you be a little rough on what really sucks on these vehicles? Thanks
Exactly. I want a vehicle with enough power to pass, not to do 200km/hr... I don't need speeding tickets
Please....ALL automakers listen!! Eliminate GLOSS PIANO BLACK plastic trim on interior parts!! It looks cool on the showroom floor and after that it's a disaster. Fingerprints, dust, scratches, they are all impossible to get rid of. Even if you clean it and dust it, you still get micro abrasion marks from the rags. I had an Audi Q5 with that crap everywhere.....never again.
nice car
I think Nissan pays the price for being an industry leader in cvt technology. Their first few generations did suffer some reliability issues. But, they have markedly improved in that area, both drive feel and reliability. But, the reputation of the older designs have carried forward, which is unfortunate. Now look around the industry and many are jumping onto the cvt bandwagon for the efficiency they give, now that nissan have led the way.
James Burrough nah they still have bad cvt transmissions. Just talk to current pathfinder owners:)
That's the baffling thing about Nissan, they went to all of the money and effort to develop a new 2nd gen CVT that will last to 200k miles, then left the old garbage one in their most popular, affordable models to drag down their reputation. The Altima, Sentra/Versa, Rogue, and Pathfinder still have the same piece of garbage that was blowing up in 2007. This is despite most of them having been completely redesigned since then. Their niche models that aren't really advertised/marketed, are priced high, and don't sell in huge numbers, like the Murano, Maxima, Quest, and Armada, are the ones that got the new improved CVTs. It's more reliable, lasts longer, and is even cheaper to make, yet they don't put it in the cars that introduce most people to the brand.
@@mrubuntuking5257 I thought the newer rogue was using their 2nd gen cvt?
It depends on the model and refresh level, the Rogue Sport is better than the Rogue, and the 2013-2016/7 Rogues are the ones of the latest gen to avoid. A lot of it is down to management software programming too, the biggest problem with the 1st gen was that every car that had it was programmed to jerk it around way too hard to do a poor job of simulating a regular automatic, or to maximize fuel efficiency at every engine speed at the expense of longevity. Cars with the 2nd gen CVT sometimes also simulate gear changes, but they do it by messing with the ride quality, interrupting the fake engine sound, and easing off the throttle a bit, not by violently slowing down and speeding up the CVT belt. I'd imagine that a car with the 2nd gen CVT that simulated gear changes the old way would, while still better than the 1st gen, have well below average longevity. The Gen4 Quest actually got a TCM software update in 2013, including ones that had already been sold if they were taken into the dealer, to address this. I don't know if that's the case with the newest Rogue or not.
@@mrubuntuking5257 Armada uses 7 speed DCT
Totally agree with you. I have a Nissan Altima and the reverse camera sucks!
The resolution is good. What are you talking about?
The interior, space and ride/handling are great in the Murano. I can't, however, get over the CVT transmission. Just put a 6 or 7 speed auto in there and all will be well. We have a 2009 Nissan Sentra and the CVT sucks. It hasn't given problems but the characteristics of it is just weird. Only benefit is that it revs nice and low at highway speeds which means good fuel economy.
Hey Zack!
I'm looking for an SUV with AWD primarily for commuting from a small town just outside of Calgary into the city for work each day, then driving around on the weekend with family (errands, family functions, road trips). I am a 28 year old professional, but since I'm doing a lot of four lane highway commuting I really value comfort and fuel economy over sportiness, even though I would prefer a good-old V6 over a turbo four and CVTs don't bother me. Do you think a used (2015 or 16) Murano would be a good alternative to a new Rogue (or RAV4, Equinox, CR-V etc)? Are there any reliability issues to consider? I have heard earlier Muranos (and other Nissans) have had CVT transmission issues with premature failures and such. Any insight you'd have would be wonderful! Thanks so much :)
For a quiet, comfortable ride the Equinox is a great choice. If you can find a nice used one, they proved to be very reliable
I only hope they resolved the CVT transmission issues.
I just got murano white midnight edition! Soooooo beautiful..
Everyone ask about my murano!
Legendary Nissan VQ Motor still around
yes, an excellent engine.
Nissan dumped VQ in new Altima, this will probably lose it too on redesign.
I'm not sure I would use the word "legendary". I would choose "vintage". 260 HP from a 3.5 litre is weak and shows its age. Then again, it's not aimed at folks that want some punch under their right foot.
David Schultz you think so? Because this thing has some pull to it.
The cr-v is another competitor; they are both 5passenger crossovers that use Cvts. And they weigh about the same althoug the murano outclasses the crv in Hp and style.
Can you please do 2019 Rav 4 and santa Fe
I'm in my second year of ownership with the Murano. It has a lovely double personality where it's uber comfortable for the price, but the engine also has plenty of power when you push it (again, for the price). Nissan has done a great job masking the annoying aspects of the CVT, and retain the responsiveness. The fact that you don't feel any real gear changes (but hear simulated ones) actually adds to the refinement quite a bit. What the car lacks for me is a sport mode, or even a sport trim like the Ford Edge. Oh and the towing capacity is a joke.
Towing capacity is very poor? I'm looking at this vehicle but need to pull a boat. About 2000 lbs. Is this this the wrong vehicle? Any suggestions on better towing vehicle that is small or midsize SUV?
Burt Gordon yeah this is the wrong vehicle if you’d like to tow. Max towing is 1500lbs. The Pathfinder might be your best bet. Max on that is 5000lbs.
I agree with you on the sport mode, however, as far as a sport trim, it would be cool to see a nismo version of the car; however, it’s such a lux vehicle, it might come off as weird. Still opened to the idea tho
I had a chance to compare the Murano to an Equinox . There is no comparison ! Murano hands up ! Not feeling the transmission shift for every 5 mph of speed increase was the difference ! IDE quality is soo much better !
if I was ever to make peace with a CVT, this might be the model.
They need to work out not just back up camera resolution, but smartphone integration in their infotainment system for modern young buyers. I don’t understand why Nissan/Infiniti refuse to add Apple CarPlay & Android Auto. Bad omission.
It comes with it already bro
Is that the silver color, or the gun metallic?
Starting price is quite misleading (probably intentionally by Nissan). The base is FWD only, and to get AWD price suddenly jumps to $40k.
Wish..it makes to India ... eagerly waiting for
chandan sharma
I hope they don’t make it for india. India deserves only maaruti 800. No traffic sense, No speed limits.
Do they have a right hand drive
Most reviewers ignore the fact that the muranonis about the same weight and length(within13") and both are cvt driven 5-passenger crossovers, so isnt the CRV a competitor, too?
What is cat thar people are referring to needing help?
日本でも売ってくれよ！
かっこよすぎだよ！
I have the midnight version of tge Altima
how is it getting in and out
Hi, should I wait for the 2019 model? Should I go ahead and get 2018? I see some 2018 Murano close by, midnight and platinum and I have always loved the Murano. I just don't want to get the 2018 and feel guilty when I see 2019. If the design (ext/int) and the handling (engine performance) are generally the same, I think I want to get the 2018 platinum for great discount via the year-end deal.
A. Oreal I got my 2018 midnight with $6k discount, I think it’s good deal to me.
A. Oreal kindly do the test drive
.. How about the Ford edge? I'd say that is a competor
Nissan keeps this up with 5 seater full sunroof ill be heading there direction in few years
Ever since 2005 the Pathfinder had a third row option.
I really don’t understand why Nissan doesn’t have four way power lumbar support.
Styling looks good, but Consumer Report hammers Nissan products' reliability. And really prefer a traditional automatic gearbox. I guess I will wait for the new RAV4 this winter.
ltcm777 A RAV4 and Murano are totally different categories. Not comparable. Nissan dont even consider the RAV4 when making competition comparables.
No apple car play or android auto?
I own a 2015 Murano, first year the new style, no different from the 2018. I agree with everything he says, with the main exception about the pickup. My previous car was a 2009 BMW 328 XI and in my opinion the Murano has much more pickup. Every time I drive it I'm quite amazed with the acceleration. The handling isn't as good, obviously, but the V6 in it has so much pickup. He gives the idea that it's a car for retired folks, Totally disagree. I've passed many cars on the highway which have much more hp than this car. I love it!
Yeah I think retired folks is who this vehicle is marketed towards, but I’m an owner of one at 28, far from retired LMAO! I LOVE this vehicle. Had it for 3 months and every time I’m in it, it feels like day 1 all over again.
@@JokerG16 I’m 22 and own a 2015 one🥴
Another thing, all the automakers are going to bigger and bigger wheel sizes. People who want more luxury and a smoother ride but yet want the "LOADED" package with all the bells and whistles get stuck with 20" inch wheels and a harsher ride. I don't know why it seems like everything is "sport" and "performance" geared. I have a 99 Lexus LX470 (land cruiser) and it's slow, smooth riding, will last forever. Where are these cars anymore? Everything has to be aggressive and angry looking. There has to be a cut off point. Wheels are getting larger, The stupid truck segment is just insane. At some point the trucks will no longer fit inside the lanes. Ever have a Ford F250 Super Duty with the side mirrors that stick out like wings on 747 fly past you on the highway? Those mirrors come awful close to contact. It's like every year, horsepower is up (speed limit hasn't changed) more air bags (nothing helps like good ol seatbelts) overall size is bigger (we are getting fatter), more infotainment stuff (more reasons to be a distracted driver) wheels are larger (tires cost more to replace) MPGs are up (they jack with the transmission programming to drive us all insane) overall MSRP is way up (no one can afford so they either lease, or stay upside down on the loan, never actually getting ahead)
This color is outstanding what is the color?
Pls comment if you know
Gun metal
Ford Edge. This 3rd gen is definitely hard on the eyes. That engine bay needs to be toned down.
It is the most beautiful car I have ever seen... but unfortunately, is not available in Middle East Market
So.... what year is this model?
We used to get it in the UK but it was dumped when this latest model was released. Shame, as it seems really good.
How would this compare to the Mazda CX5?
MrHW1968 you wouldn't. The CX-5 is a more closer comparison to the Nissan Rouge. The Murano is more like a two row CX9.
Different class of vehicle. This is more powerful and spacious. Cx5 handles a tad better and is more efficient but lacks the comfort and power of murano.
My family and I were actually considering the CX9 and then fell in love with the Murano (still a bit salty we didn't get the CX9, as it's also a beautiful SUV). But the Murano has a much more luxury build than the Mazdas, the panoramic roof is killer. The seats are superior. CX9 interior was also quite luxurious, but the Murano was a bit better and had a slightly better price for our family. So we bought the Murano Platinum (fully loaded) over the CX9 GT
@5:01 the shade is real lol , I’m not a fan of any four-cylinder engine in a SUV.
The Murano has a 3.5 6 cyl. About 280hp
Wouldn't the Hyundai Santa Fe sport be competitor
Ajay Lall and the Ford Edge
goodness no. how dare you compare this to a Hyundai.
The Hyundai Santa Fe sport competes with the Honda CR-V and Nissan Rogue, while the Nissan Murano competes with the Ford Edge
@@1daful see a review of the new Santa Fe and come back..and when you see how better equipped that is come back as well.
Am an owner of the old model I’d Murano 🤦♀️ I don’t like the fact that they have totally changed the shape or the look of the Murano .. it looks so similar to Lexus now 🤦♀️ the Murano in general is an awesome car .. got the 2006 and model and still using no it till day 💪🏼 I always recommend it for females specially ✌🏼
My friend's Murano has a third row!
No it doesn’t.
Japan makes the design look more competitive against European cars but I think there tryen to save money in some areas
The murano needs a face left, it has looked the same for several of years.
I always liked this murano, but it just looks a little too bloated on the inside and the outside.
I wish Honda brings back the Passport to compete with this Murano
Johnson L the Passport is called Pilot now...
They did. For 2019
Aren't CvT Transmission bad?
