Performance: | 8.3 |
The Nissan Murano features a powertrain that reviewers love, and sporty handling that they say the competition just can’t match.
Almost every reviewer praises the Nissan Murano's 3.5-liter 260-horsepower V6 engine. Most also like its Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), saying that it's smooth and responsive.
According to the EPA, both AWD and FWD models should achieve 18/23 mpg city/highway. This makes the Murano one of the more fuel-efficient vehicles in its class.
Reviewers say that the traditional model of the 2011 Nissan Murano is one of the best-handling SUVs in the class. But, if you want an even sportier driving experience and more cash in your pocket, check out the Mazda CX-7.
However, reviewers say that the Murano CrossCabriolet has handling that's simply horrendous. They mention unresponsive steering, poor road grip, and has more than its fair share of body lean thanks to a high center of gravity.
