It is very luxurious and for the price a great value. It all all the expensive car up grades but still in a good price range.
My sunroof torn for no reason and there are recalls all the time. It is comfortable and drives super easy. The 360 backup cameras are fantastic

Luxury on a budget - Lexus quality without the Lexus price tag.
I like the large moon roof, the quality of everything from seats to levers and dials, and the AWD and technology included. I do not like the price tag and the way the back hatch doesn't work correctly sometimes.

It rides great and I average 22 to 31 miles per gallon.
The Nissan Murano is the best car for the money. This is the 8th Murano that I have owned. We actually have two same year and the same model but different colors. The only things that I dislike is that the outside mirrors do not fold in automatically and that to get everything that we wanted in the car we had to purchase the navigation which I never use, I prefer using Waze.

Best looking SUV you could find for the price.
It is a very stylish SUV the color of my SUV is unusual called java. It has a very good ride, the interior design is extra nice considering the price of the SUV, it has an excellent ride and many electronic features, Nissan dealers provide excellent follow up service.

Reliable, safe, great gas mileage and roomy.
I love my murano it fits my family of five comfortably. It has great gas mileage and all the safety features it has are handy as well. There is plenty of room in the “trunk” I can get three bags of horse feed, 50 lbs of dog food and groceries at the same time.

Easy to operate keyless automatic entry can't leave fob in car and lock car
Very comfortable, really enjoy the automatic back door release. Dislike the color it is black and we bought it used.
accountCircle Anne R
Best looking and stylish car on the road.
I love the stylish interior of the car. It has beige seats and steering wheel which makes the car look light inside instead of dark and dreary like a black interior.
accountCircle Meaghan W
My murano is brown with chrome trim around the vehicle.
I absolutely love my Nissan murano. I have only had it for about seven months, but I have not had any performance issues with it so far. It is very reliable and I feel very comfortable driving it to my destinations. It is the perfect size for me and easy to maneuver through traffic.

So far I'm the only person who's having this type of issue??
I'm in love with my car I always have been. I've had it just over a year now it's a 2015 model and in Immaculate condition but I've already had had the alternator replaced along with the battery of course and that was only 3 months ago. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to have it done again, thank God for extended warranty through my bank.

Faulty heated cooled seat
I have a 2015 Nissan Murano and for the second time the heated and cooled drivers side seat has failed. It was replaced about 2 years ago and has stopped working again. The first time the wires under the seat melted and I consider this to be a safety issue since this caused smoke and could start a fire. This part should be recalled as it cost $700 to replace the first time. Consumers should not have to replace this part every two years. I am very dissatisfied with this model.
accountCircle T J f
Smooth drive that takes getting use to as the autoshifting means the drifting capability is different from most other vehicles.
The interior has easily chippable plastic, which I have managed to chip. It was far too easy to chip this. Secondly, Nissan wants to charge $109 to update my map database, which is so ridiculous. They should be given away free mapping updates with a "tune-up" or other high margin activity.
accountCircle Tam R
The seat coolers and remote start.
It is very comfortable, but you have to take corners really slowly. Otherwise everything in the car gets tossed around. Not great on road noise.
accountCircle Sharon C
Positive details on the Nissan Murano as a great family vehicle!
The Nissan Murano does not have any problems. I just do not care for the way the front quarter panels stick out because I cannot see around them because I am too short and therefore have a hard time judging distance when backing up. The performance is great and the gas mileage is pretty good for a full size vehicle. The interior has lots of room as does the rear compartment. My 135 lb. Tibetan mastiff thinks there is plenty of room for him to lie down or sit up and look out. We have had no mechanical problems at all in the 3 years we have owned it. And my husband who is 6' 3" tall and 300 pounds can easily fit into it where he has problems with other makes when getting in the car. . He always hits his head on the door jambs of other vehicles.
accountCircle Shelley B
Very comfortable seats, and so far reliable, no service issues.
Good ride, good mileage, good features, reliable, very comfortable, like the adjustable seats, and like the heated seats, good ride, good mileage, good features, good color, comfortable seating, do not like the big mirrors, like the color and the room inside the SUV.
accountCircle Hailey C
The Bluetooth doesn't connect to my iPhone as well as it should.
The Bluetooth doesn't work very well. I would like to upgrade to a newer and nicer car.
accountCircle Georgette J
It has a lot of safety features.
I love the new body style, but the gas door lever is in an inconvenient place. The outside unlock button only unlocks one door. The car does not unlock automatically when out in park.

Murano a nice family car to drive.
This car has lots of storage especially when you can put down the back seats. Hands very nicely while driving even on bumpy roads. The car gets pretty good gas mileage for an suv. The car feels like it will hold up for awhile. We have had no issues on the car.
accountCircle Heather G on June 20, 2021
Its pretty and black and comfortable.
I love my vehicle! However, I wish it did have a Bluetooth touch system but it drives great and has tons of space and is comfortable! It has good gas mileage and monthly payments are affordable. It's a great car for any family! You won't regret purchasing.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Marva S.

I love everything about this truck. All the cameras, sids, front and rear. Heated back seat and front. The color espresso. Sirius XM radio. Apple CarPlay allows me to read and respond to text messages. Bluetooth connection allows me to talk hands free while driving, navigation. I love the panoramic sunroof.

likeFilled Jacqueline C.

I love my murano. It is incredibly comfortable and easy riding. I've only had to do routine maintenance. The back seat is spacious. My cargo area is a perfect size. I have no issues laying the seats down to create extra space.

likeFilled Fani W.

The seats are very comfortable, which is one of the reasons I purchased the vehicle. It has all the bells and whistles including heated steering wheel and heated seats. Interior was well designed and made me want to buy the car.

likeFilled Erin L.

Stylish exterior and gives a smooth ride. Lots of interior space and handy accessories. Easy to use technology and helpful screens. Provides reminders for maintenance and keeping car running smooth. Great car for a decent price. Reliable vehicle.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Marva S.

It is bigger than I expected, had unfortunate recall on ABS that required repair. It is a truck, gas mileage, is definitely a con for me. Odd placement of USB plug in center behind cup holders. No place to put the key while driving. No place to put your cellphone while driving except in the cup holder.

dislikeFilled Jacqueline C.

I wish the GPS system wasn't so expensive to upgrade. I also wish the weathertech mats were included in a package when originally purchased. They've been great at keeping my carpet looking nice. Sometimes I have to take the headrests off the back seats when laying the seats down.

dislikeFilled Fani W.

I cannot really think of any cons, except maybe that it would be nice if it was a little bit more powerful, faster acceleration maybe. I notice this when going up hills and merging onto a highway or freeway.

dislikeFilled Erin L.

The amount of gas mileage it gets is a little higher than I would like. Once in a while it seems to stutter a bit, not sure what that is about. The on board navigation has an added charge to use after one year, which was kind of a bummer.
