How does Mauno move? The base 3.5-liter V6 engine is strong enough for daily use and can speed up quickly when needed. It has the best continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) in its class. Unless you’re going very fast, the power to the road stays the same, and there are no noticeable gear changes.

Also, driving the Murano is usually a pleasant experience. The Murano is better at going around turns at higher speeds than many midsize SUVs because its steering is speed-sensitive. You must slam on the brakes hard to get the most stopping power. Other than that, the pedal feels the same every time, and the brakes work well enough.

How comfortable is it in the Murano? The front and back seats of the Murano are firm and soft in just the right places, making them perfect for long trips. It has solid but quiet air conditioning and temperature control for two zones. You may even call the machine back. Even though the top Platinum grade is the only one with seat air, the heated and cooled seats are very comfortable.

Also, Murano’s CVT automatic transmission is better than those in other cars with similar transmissions. At full power, it makes a pleasant sound, and there is no droning sound inside the house. Even though the ride could be better, that’s because the top trims come with 20-inch wheels.

How is the inside? The Murano has simple knobs and buttons that are easy to use. There is plenty of space for your head and shoulders, and it’s easy to find a good position for driving. But the space in the back is a little tight for passengers for a midsize SUV.

It’s easy to get in and out because the doors are big and the openings are vast, but because they are so big, you should be careful in some scenarios. The Murano’s odd look also makes it harder to see. The front and back windows are small because the hood is wide and the roof slopes down. Because the SUV gives the impression of being more substantial than it actually is, you need to rely on the blind-spot warning system.

How does the tech work? At first glance, the 8-inch tablet looks old and straightforward, making it easy to use. The extra 11-speaker Bose sound system is quick and straightforward, and its music is crystal clear. Bluetooth makes it easy to connect, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it possible to link a smartphone. Some of the other tech features are NissanConnect services and voice-activated guidance.

Most of the time, the extra safety measures look great and work great. After carefully slowing down with the traffic flow, the adaptive cruise control system takes a long time to get back to full speed.

What’s the deal with the storage? Some midsize SUVs can pull more than 5,000 pounds, but the Murano can only tow 1,500 pounds. There is less cargo room than some of its rivals, but the 32.1 cubic feet of space behind the back seats and the 67 cubic feet of space with There are still plenty of seats available when the second row is folded flat.

There are not many spaces available inside for storing smaller items. The center desk and door pockets must be more significant to hold a water bottle. The back seat only has a bench in the middle with two cupholders. Is there a household? The Murano has a lot of LATCH lower anchors and tether points, making it easy to add child safety seats.

What kind of fuel economy does it have? Our all-wheel-drive test Murano got better gas mileage than most of its competitors on our 115-mile route, going over the EPA’s estimate of 23 mpg combined. But its average 18.9 mpg over about 800 miles of mixed driving over two weeks was less than the 20 mpg the EPA says it should get in cities.

Is it worth it to buy the Murano? The Murano usually has a good fit and finish, and the plastics inside that look like marble make it look costly. The chairs’ high level of relaxation makes the whole thing more valuable. A version with all the features you want costs about $40,000, about the same as direct rivals.

Nissan offers a standard warranty on both the body and the engine. You can get full coverage for up to eight years and 120,000 miles. There is also a free trial subscription for accident alerts and tracking of stolen vehicles that lasts for six months. There is a free trial subscription for locking doors remotely and getting maintenance alerts for three years.

No matter what you think about it, the Murano has a unique look. On the other hand, the Murano feels more significant than it is because it is hard to control and see out of. This takes away from the fun of driving. Even though the SUV has a potent engine, it is still not one of the most enjoyable cars to drive.

Everything that comes with a Murano is good now that the SV model is at the top. But the SL model is the one you should get if you want your midsize Nissan SUV to feel a little more high-end. This model has actual leather seats, a panoramic moonroof, an 11-speaker Bose luxury music system, and a video system that works in all directions.
