I bought a 2019 Murano brand new in January of 2020. Over 68K and so far so good! No problems whatsoever. My goal is 300,000 miles but maybe 200-250 might be more realistic. Gonna keep changing tranny fluid every 35-40K. Do all oil changes myself every 2,500-3,000 miles. I know thats more frequent than most people do, but I've heard these engines have a tendency to burn oil or have problems if not taken care of so I'm cautious. Never had to add a drop of oil between changes.

Just bought a 2021 Murano with 4,100 miles (not a typo, church lady leased it and now cannot drive). I love it. I had an '09 Altima that I loved and was totaled. The Murano is similar-it steers like its on rails, has plenty of pickup and go power, spacious interior, nice tech and features and I love the look and feel.

@@CONQUISTADOR79 get the transmission fluid flushed ASAP. It’s the only weakness these Muranos suffer from. Cost you $200 at the dealer and it’s peace of mind. Thanks for watching and good luck! They’re awesome cars. Mine also suffered from clogged sunroof drains but yours doesn’t have the sunroof so it’s no concern for you. All Nissans suffer from the sunroof drains clogging. I’ve been shopping for a replacement and I can’t find any other similar size SUV that’s as quiet, soft riding, comfortable, soft seats, easy and intuitive infotainment, and quick and effortless highway cruiser as the Murano. It’s a very popular car and for good reason.

@@CONQUISTADOR79 oh if yours has the pano sunroof then you should feel around the carpet by the drivers and passenger footwell if it smells or feels like it’s been damp or moldy then you need to get them unclogged. The other possible place is the back seat footwell also if it feels damp or smells moldy. Also look at the a pillar around the headliner if you see evidence of past moisture. If you don’t find any evidence of a problem then you have no problem. If you drive in a heavy rain and find moisture in the footwells then you have clogged drains. If this doesn’t happen, then you don’t have a problem. If you suspect yours has this problem then go to dealer the first thing they’ll do is blow compressed air into the drains. They probably won’t even charge you for this (all dealers are aware the pano sunroofs suffer from this). Compressed air did not fix my drains. If the problem persists then they will likely fish a wire down the drains to clear them up. It cost me $350 to have this done but it fixed the problem. The drains can get clogged by tree pollen or similar small dirt and particles. Although this is a common problem it doesn’t mean all Muranos will have this happen to them. Get the transmission fluid flushed it’s the only weakness. The roof drains aren’t a serious issue. I would 100% buy another Murano they are awesome.

I traded my 2014 Maxima in on a 2020 Murano Platinum AWD with 25,000 miles on it. I wasn't really looking for it, but it had some features that the Max didn't have (and I loved that car, same engine as the Murano but with 30 more hp, but whatta ya gonna do?) I wanted AWD, and wanted to sit a bit higher to see better. I have only had it for about 3 months, and have had it on a 1000 mi trip, and I love it. It feels like a lifted AWD Maxima.

Damn that’s awesome brother. How about those cooled seats? I traded my Murano (the one in this video) for a Nautilus (also on a different video). The nautilus has better cooled seats (it was the no1 feature that lifted it above others considered), but the Lincoln seats and legroom don’t hold a freaking candle to the Murano. Thanks for watching! I love hearing people’s stories about cars in my videos.

I’m thinking of buying the 2015 Murano. I took it for a test drive and it is smooth. My concern is the cvt. The rpm’s were revving quite high. It was at 4000 rpm doing 50km and 6000 rpm at 80km. There was no switching in “gears” and it didn’t go down until I was at 110km. It went down to around 2000 rpm’s then. The dealer is trying to tell me to release my foot from the gas pedal and it’ll rev down. I’ve watched plenty of videos about this car and haven’t found a single comment about lifting your foot then putting it down. Most videos show a constant rising in speed with the rpm’s dropping in each “shift” change. I feel I’m about to get ripped off with a bad cvt or other expensive part. Your thoughts?

@bruceknows Жыл бұрын

Sounds like the CVT in that one needs to be reprogrammed. Something similar happened to a Sentra CVT 2012 I used to have. My advice to you is there's thousands of these on the road Find another one to test drive and see if its the same experience. Thanks for watching and good luck!

I own a 2015 Murano Platinum AWD bought with 17K miles on it. It has done 67K miles now, and the dealer gave you the correct info. The CVT transmission does not shift down RPM instantly like an automatic transmission. However, if you momentarily take your foot of the gas pedal and out it back, it revs down instantly and you can continue accelerating up with increasing rev cycles. Ride quality, space, great comfort seats, powered back seats and absolutely great audio system are the distinctive plus features. Very happy with the technology package.

Hi bruce, what about off-road? Can i use it in the beach sand? Of course, we are not talking about Jeep, but it can give me the minimum off-road experience

@bruceknows Жыл бұрын

Sand driving has a lot to do with the tires you have. You need good tread. Old tires are a no -no. Get M+S tires for best results. As long as your tires are good and you are mindful of your ground clearance i would say yes go for it!

Hey Bruce, Thanks for the great content! I’m curious about how many miles your car currently has and the condition of its transmission. A bit about me and my car: I drive a 2017.5 Nissan Murano SL AWD, purchased new. It now has around 108K miles. I’ve always been diligent with maintenance, never missing a service. The CVT fluid was flushed at 65K and 90K miles. Considering the reviews online, I’m concerned about potential CVT issues and am thinking about trading in my car. Honestly, it’s been a comfortable and cost-effective vehicle compared to others, including some luxury models. Given the CVT concerns, do you think it’s safe to keep the car? I’d appreciate your thoughts.

Hi thanks for watching! I sold my Murano SL 2017.5 (the subject of my video) 3 months ago. It had like 70k miles when I sold it. The sunroof drains kept clogging and making the carpets soaked and I was concerned about possible mold growing as a result. I took advantage of the inflated used car values and sold it. I serviced my CVT fluid at 50k miles and never had an issue with it. I never had any problems with the vehicle other than the roof drains. Truthfully I was bored with it and wanted cooled seats so I used the roof drain issue as an excuse to sell 😂. If you are happy with the vehicle and clearly You’ve maintained it well, I recommend you keep it til the wheels fall off. CVT ain’t going to grenade itself. Múranos are very reliable as you probably know. Parts are cheap on them. Nothing you will replace it with is going to drive as nice as the Murano, for what you’ll get for selling the Murano. So… keep the Murano You’ve got and consider yourself lucky to own it!

Hi Bruce, planning to purchase 2019 sv with 60750kilometres mileage for a family and daily drive, please share your review. I live in one of the coldest city and my friend who is a mechanic says Nissan has cvt transmission issues and expensive to fix.

@bruceknows 10 ай бұрын

My comments to other people are true for yours too. I think that the CVT needs to be serviced regularly. Yes it’s expensive to replace the CVT but it’s not automatically going to destroy itself. That’s ridiculous! Most Múranos don’t have destroyed transmissions! 60k kilometers for yours is low mileage in my opinion. If the CVT is working fine already, I would be ok buying it. Get the CVT oil changed immediately after purchase and plan to service it every 30k miles. The CVT isn’t going to all of a sudden destroy itself. Other than the CVT, they are marvelously reliable and comfortable. Good luck and thanks for watching!

Yup! I sold mine because of the roof drain issue. the dealer wanted $1200 to fix the drains after trying repeatedly to unclog them with compressed air and sometimes with a weedwacker string. I started to get concerned about possible mold problems.

@antjuanyoung8605 11 ай бұрын

I'm thinking of buying a 2017 murano S, I wanted to know more about reliability than luxury? Like will it last me a whlie before any repair like maintenance? Is it worth buying the 2017 murano vs the 2013 rav4 with more mileage and about the same price at my local dealer (Literally 3 dollars more expensive than the murano)?

@bruceknows 11 ай бұрын

Hard to choose with the info you gave. Which one has more service history? That’d be my first question. Second question is has the Murano ever had its transmission ( CVT) fluid serviced? That is the big problem with the Murano. The CVT needs to be regularly flushed (every 50,000 miles in my opinion). Apart from the transmission, the Murano is very reliable and parts are inexpensive. The RAV4 is also very reliable (I own one, too 😄). But high mileage and also 10 years old is asking a lot for any car to be truly reliable. My 2015 RAV4 hasn’t been completely trouble-free and I’m the original owner. People think a Toyota is completely trouble free and that’s just not true. If they both have similar maintenance, and the Murano has had its CVT serviced, I would go with the Murano. Even if the CVT hadn’t been serviced, it may be working fine and you can buy the Murano and service the CVT preventively. After all, it’s not like the CVT failure is super common. Two more thoughts: the Murano is a higher feature content car than the RAV4 (think about how many more things the Murano has - like power trunk). More features is more things to break. That being said, a Murano S is a lower content car so it’s probably pretty close to the RAV4 in feature content. The other thing to consider is that the Murano is a far, far nicer car to drive than the RAV4. It might be worth it to you that it’s quieter, more comfortable, faster, etc. And also, you can find Nissan parts really, really cheap on eBay etc., perhaps even cheaper than a Toyota parts. Let me know what you decide to do! And thanks for watching.

We own a ‘18 Murano and recently rented a RAV4. The Murano is a much more sophisticated car. Frankly, the RAV was miserable to drive vs the Murano. BTW..we have 80k trouble free miles on our Mo.

It’s just so stale….grossly overdue for a complete redo. Here’s hoping the 2025 is a huge change but still stylish ahead of its time. If it ends up looking like an Ariya with an engine it will be a miss by Nissan. I own a 2023 Murano and I’m disappointed with the old school tech and the rubber band performance with the CVT. New Murano really needs a 9 speed automatic
