2017 Nissan Murano Review: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

[@hwrk777]

I disagree with you on the styling. I personally think one on the best selling points of the Murano is the interior and exterior styling.

[@jameslong4852]

I agree, I love the styling. Especially the Midnight Edition.

[@patalexander1965]

@@jameslong4852 Agree! Even if one didn't like the style, wait until they change the style again! Seems what was so stylish then becomes suttle, compared to the next stylish look!

[@gta4viceman]

until you get blinded by the hoods sun glare, worst experience and I ended up replacing the Murano

[@johnrotten968]

I love the styling and the ride is excellent. My biggest beef is a better sounding head unit with more sound controls. Over I absolutely love this car.

[@dianecoles5113]

Dan Devera I agree with you

[@ScarlettM125]

This is the most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. The style is a personal preference. I love it, some may not. It’s a great crossover all around.

[@teeejay246]

The most comfortable car I've ever been in...period.

[@lionintu]

teeejay246 i agree, the recline is insane in back too. but the interior styling is getting somewhat aged.

[@davidseinen3483]

@teeejay246 if you liked that, you might like the pathfinder even better. I loved those seats so much.

[@10murano29]

right

[@hippiebits2071]

In my opinion the current Murano is definitely one of the better looking crossovers available. Many of the others look awkward or out of proportion at certain angles. Five out of five stars for the front seats too...amazingly comfortable!!!

[@marcmcquary7193]

I own a 2016 Murano, LOVE IT. From styling to performance I am a big fan. This is the best highway car I have ever owned. So comfortable and easy to drive that a 6 to 8 hour trip is not in the least bit taxing. Additionally two things I would point out is the comfort of the rear seats and the gas mileage. The recline feature for rear seats make them nearly as comfortable as the front seats, not something that can be found in most crossover SUVs. As for gas mileage, I have on occasion gotten 30 MPG on long highway trips averaging 70+ MPH. Very impressive for the size engine! On a scale of 1-10 this car ranks a definite 9-10.

[@rhondaziglar8948]

I own a 2016 Murano and I think the curves are sexy, it does not look like a minivan.

[@queen3030ify]

I get more looks in this car! It is indeed a sexy beast! Love it! I like that it looks different from the rest of the SUVs out there.

[@adobad5361]

Looks like a minivan?...impossible Disagree with that with the guy doing the review.

[@SuperCapljinac]

Totally disagree with you about styling,I think Murano is most beautiful crossover,I bought my platinum model is because styling thanks

[@MimicMan0324]

I bought my 19 Murano brand new in Jan 2020 and IMO it's one of the best looking SUVs on the market! Now April of 24 and over 68K miles later i still think the same! Absolutely zero issues. Just baby the CVT and change the tranny fluid every 35-40K and you'll be putting the odds in your favor. I call it my budget RX 350.

[@rickgennette1821]

Failed to mention that there's a dark interior option that would not look so dirty. The interior looks fine and the exterior looks great. Doesn't look at all like a station wagon or minivan,totally disagree with your remarks on all bad and ugly. Shouldn't even be in this video.

[@salemsaberhagen8390]

there is always a dark interior option

[@overthemoon9941]

Ur negative comments on the beautiful white interior & lovely body style was so wrong...turned ur otherwise good review to a 1 star review....

[@brittneyliddic6999]

Exactly! Station wagon? I don't think so 🤣. LOVE my Murano!!!

[@cathyrogers654]

Just bought 2017 Nissan Murano. I love the outside body style, the inside is so me. I immediately fell in love. Drives like a dream. Very intuitive, too.

[@adhlinjeancharles3550]

I just bought one two weeks ago and I am loving it, I bought it just for the design because it looks different. By the way great video!

[@ShiftingLanes]

Thank you for the compliments! We hope you enjoy the car!

[@phipsk1259]

The interior looks like a bathroom

[@hal8238]

it's a good thing or a bad thing?

[@jaedevrick]

adhlin jean charles how is the gas on it, how many time you fill up the gas tank a month

[@alriklopz]

Right, it looks different. I give this design a thumbs up.

[@yilianhernandez8314]

I bought one of this 2 month ago ,and the biggest reason was the design

[@teddyhenriquez5192]

WhenI was looking for suv I came across with the nissan murano and it was like love at first site. I like the design interior, handling, and I also like how people stare at you just like if you're driving a more expensive vehicle than what is actually is. I also got mine for a good price can't go wrong with the murano.

[@sheanastowe3060]

I think it's one of the best looking SUV's on the market. I have a 2016 and I love it. I traded my Mitsubishi Outlander Sport because I needed something bigger. It's better in every way. Even gas, believe it or not. And I agree with the other people here, it is super comfortable. It handles like butter, and gets out of its own way.

[@josefermalino461]

I own 2017 murano and I love it exterior and interior with all black...gas mileage is awesome 22 city and 27 freeway my average

[@kmzvibezty67]

I bought a 2017.5 Murano SL-AWD with the Tech Package, Mud Flaps & the Bumper Protection this past Jan. This car brand new MSRP was $42,790. With good negotiations & a $5,000 dollar rebate I got the car for $32, 000 which is $10,000 dollars below the MSRP. So in my view the Murano was fantastic purchase and I am extremely happy with this SUV Crossover. As for its looks, I just love it...

[@Ghost-jy9hk]

I absolutely love the styling of the murano. Looks futuristic and classy. Dont know why people bash it so much

[@pranavshah5630]

Its a beautiful car inside out. Great power, great space a perfect family crossover. I am driving pathfinder and getting a murano in about 3 weeks!

[@bendavidson7122]

Bought a 2018 MURANO SL Back in Feb and I LOVE IT,Pearl White,Black Leather interior,BOSE AUDIO,Heated Seats front and back,Tilt Telescoping Steering Wheel,3.5 V-6,Manual Shift Mode and Rides Great!!!!!!

[@adileneojeda3432]

Just bought a white one with 17k miles on it my wife loves it.

[@ranad5019]

how does it look like a minivan??😂 its so pretty

[@brittneyliddic6999]

I have the exact car pictured and disagree with you on the light colored interior. Mine has 43k miles on it and the steering wheel and interior looks brand new. It's just a matter of maintaining your car. Also LOVE the pearlized accents. Everything you didn't like was everything that attracted me to this car. But as you said, completely personal opinion. I enjoyed your review very much, thank you! I have driven a Murano now for the past 13 years and am on my 3rd one so I am partial to Muranos.

[@msnm8938]

I gotta say I owned the 2008 Murano and love the car. No car problem what so ever and put almost 200k mileage in it. The car sure serve you good. One other important thing about the Murano is that changing the spark plugs can be a pain the hole, if you planning to do your car maintenance. BTW, I never change them and with 200k the car still going strong :)

[@kammie6917]

I love the design of the Murano. It's a totally eye catching and awesome looking crossover. I think it's even more stylish than the Lexus RX because it doesn't have that big ol ugly front grill. No way does it look like a station wagon or minivan. It's gorgeous in white with the 18" chrome wheels. You're right, your "bad" is definitely personal preference or maybe it's a guy thing. You're "ugly" wasn't even worth mentioning because you can get it with a dark interior.

[@chrispierdominici3891]

I agree with you Kammie on the grill. Hate that RX grill. Plus the RX handled like an old lady vehicle and has flat seats with little comfort for a luxury vehicle.

[@overthemoon9941]

Kammie ...what disappointing review and no comment really on the reliability of cvt transmission which is important not the cosmetic stuff...

[@itsmetay-tayb7876]

Thanks for your honest review. I plan on getting one soon and this helped me out! I won't get light interior though.

[@erickrivera4910]

MINIVAN!!!! Are you kidding me bro? Not even close, it looks good, better then other brands and it's so nice to own one. So far so nice.

[@bradley7506]

My 2023 Murano has the cashmere (light) interior and they’ve changed the steering wheel to black but left the rest cashmere (light tan) so dirty steering wheel issue fixed. I love the two tone light interior over black in every vehicle I’ve ever owned. Personally I love the swoopy line styling of the body that you don’t like. I prefer a cuv/suv that breaks from the traditional “box on wheels” look that 95 % of these vehicles have so I’m totally happy with the styling of my 2023 which does look a little more coordinated than the older model years. And yes, the CVT does play way better with V6 engines than 4 cylinder engines. I’m old now so even though the Murano isn’t super quick it is more than powerful enough for this old man 😊

[@judyharrison7441]

i LOVE my 2017 murano! i think the style is amazing. it actually has shape and not a box on wheels. as for the light color steering wheel....don’t drive it with dirty hands 😊 enjoyed the video! thanks

[@davelibros1]

I just got my Murano after driving a 2003 Honda Element for years. I LOVE this car and have the black interior so no gripes about the ivory interior from me. I love the styling too. I'm a bigger guy and the car is super comfortable. I wonder how I lived without an exterior camera before now too! I think maybe leave your personal taste comments out of your reviews and they will be more helpful. We acted on our own personal choices when we bought our cars so no need to beat your taste drum.

[@GIRlulz]

I have the 2016 Murano. I don't agree with most of your stylish gripes. It looks like a "station wagon or mini van"? Wow. But I agree with the beige interior, I went with the black since I knew all the dirt would show easily.

[@ShiftingLanes]

Good call on the black interior! We forgot to mention how the seats got a little grimy as well.

[@jaedevrick]

James Hidalgo how is the gas on it, how many time you fill up the gas tank a month

[@GIRlulz]

Gas is good for me. I fill up probably every 2-3 weeks. But of course it depends how much you drive it. Also if you drive more city than highway.

[@chicoh22a]

I love my 2016,ride is super awesome,I like the look,does not look like a minivan at all,bad part on mine I get the beige int 😭😭😭,gas is not that bad,just a lil be lol

[@estevha4255]

Jae Montage after a year driving my 2017 Murano in NYC, it gives an average on 12 miles per gallon. 😓

[@jhgillmd]

Did you try cleaning the steering wheel? I'm being serious.

[@kaitline1183]

James Gill right?! Like 1. Wash your hands 2. Maybe a steering wheel cover would help? Lol

[@overthemoon9941]

James Gill 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@erickrivera4910]

Now days there is many options of interior cleaners...

[@waltertriplett3376]

Go to u tube, on cleaning the steering wheel it Wil give you a step by step on cleaning it.you can make it like new again,check out the vid on U tube, awesome you Wil learn something new.

[@teddyhenriquez5192]

I like your video. I bought the 2016 Platinum with Tan interior and love it. I put a steering wheel cover to avoid dirt on it. so far I love it and get a lot of stare even from mercedez and BMW drivers.

[@ShiftingLanes]

Thank you for the compliments! Good call on the steering wheel cover.

[@jaedevrick]

Teddy Henriquez how is the gas on it, how many time you fill up the gas tank a month

[@teddyhenriquez5192]

twice a month ive been aveaging 28,4 miles

[@mellowjammer]

Teddy, do you have the heated steering wheel? If so, have you used it and how does that steering wheel cover you added affect it?

[@teddyhenriquez5192]

mellowjammer The other day it was very cold and even with steering cover I was able to feel my hands nice and warm the heat was able to pass through the steering cover with no issues

[@Pinwheelpat]

I just bought a 2017 Java Metallic with Mocha leather interior. I love it! I love the design. Someone said, "It looks like it was shaped by the wind." The only thing I don't like, is I wish it had brighter interior ambiance lighting. And I don't like the fact that the passenger seat cannot be lowered or raised even though it is electric. I also love the fact that it has Bose speakers. It is so comfortable and I enjoy driving it.

[@jaedevrick]

Pat B I was thinking about getting one how’s the gas, how many times do you fill up a month

[@Pinwheelpat]

I have not paid much attention to the gas mileage, but I think it's pretty good! I am retired and I have only filled it up about two times a month. I always try to get it filled when I'm at Costco because it is usually 20 cents a gallon cheaper there.

[@teddyhenriquez5192]

Jae Montage I've been reading all the comments and it looks like you've been asking everyone that owns a Murano the same question about gas mileage. If you're so concern about gas mileage why don't you get a Prius. The Murano uses regular Gas so even if it was a gas guzzler you still not spending a lot of money on gas.

[@jaedevrick]

Teddy Henriquez Thank you I was just trying to get different people opinions on the matter

[@queen3030ify]

Jae Mantage I just picked up the 2017.5 Platinum. I have owned it for two weeks. I just filled it up today. I average about 25 mpg on the freeway. 18 to 20 in stop and go city traffic. I love the SUV! It is a smooth and comfortable ride.

[@Lovely-wy4fo]

Wow I love the styling of it. I think it's the most stylish of all their crossovers.

[@lisadorion2653]

I disagree with you. I love the style of the Murano

[@SteveStokes1971]

We just bought a 17.5 Platinum AWD. Love it so far. In my opinion it’s one of the best looking out there. Only other I liked more was the Lexus RX. I do agree about the faux ivory interior. Ours has black leather with the silver and I think it looks much better.

[@bendavidson7122]

Really like the MURANO

[@Przyhodnik1]

I too hated the styling when they first came out. However it grew on my quite well. It's not the squarish boxy SUV like all the rest. I have it in this same color. I put a bra on the front. I did not like the chrome lower panel on the sides. I wrapped it in some 3M carbon Graphite wrap. Looks awesome. I also did not like the rims that are on the one you are driving. I chose the ones that do not have the slanted look to the wide spokes. More conventional. Smoked the front windows to match the back. Drove it from Missouri to Salt Lake City and got just under 30 MPG while the speed was 75-85 MPH. Overall for the $$. I felt this was a great bang for the $$. Awesome job on the the video!

[@ShiftingLanes]

Can’t complain about that MPG! Thanks for sharing! -Hansen

[@TheBonniedee816]

Just wish I could afford one. Just purchased a used 2007 model, and really enjoying it. Love the review makes me want it all the more.. ❤️

[@marilynpalmer7955]

I agree with the steering wheel..I can't find the volume without looking at it so I use the main volume button.. The rest of what you showed I love.. I've only had me 2017 Murano a month now.. But love it.

[@dequitacoleman6441]

I love my 2017 Murano inside and outside

[@PhillyAnchor]

If you're only complaint is the light interior color getting dirty then clean it as any owner should. If you clean your car once a week then any color is never a problem.

[@Just4Fun0230]

I sold these and I thought they were reallly nice vehicles. My wife really likes them too and if I was in the market right now this is the SUV we would lease.

[@reddobie0]

Nice Video. We got rid of our 2015 BMW X3 and searched for a comparable car for my wife. We looked at and drove about everything in this class size (Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, Toyota..etc.). We bought a pacific sunset/mocha platinum model and have had it for about 5 months. My wife loves it better than her BMW X3. We have owned numerous Nissans through the years and they have always been excellent vehicles for us. We liked the MPG and that you did not need to use premuim fuel, like many others. With 5K on the vehicle, we our overall happy with the vehicle!

[@ShiftingLanes]

+reddobie0 thank you for watching!

[@mattpaulson1044]

We traded a X3 for our Murano and share the same opinion. The X3 cost us thousands in unexpected repairs. The Murano has been trouble free for 80k

[@jaguarpaw46]

Try some vinegar to clean the leather then a leather conditioner . I get compliments on my 2017 Murano all the time ....i have side businesses detailing so my Murano gets extra TLC ..

[@BigMahMahTea]

I love the style of the Murano! It looks super slick!

[@thomasbendowski2226]

I have a 2017, my 3rd Murano. I've had an '04, '09 and now this one. I traded my '09 in at 170,000 miles. Personally I love the lines, comfort and handling as well as the power. I also like the cargo space. I've never not been able to fit in there what I wanted to. A couple times had to fold the front seat all the way forward but..... The only thing I noticed on my present vehicle is that the transmission is not as smooth as my previous ones. Could just be mine? Overall very happy with it. My other car is a Mercedes SL55 AMG and I almost prefer driving the Murano!! Almost!

[@azphoto2010]

Nice ride but...when making a quick short radius turn, it stalls. Very concerning when there is oncoming traffic. Dealer says it is because of the way the CVT shifts. however the other 2 Murano's we have owned did not do that.

[@rudymartinez314]

Great video & review. I bought my Murano about 2 months ago. I love everything about my Murano that you mentioned in your 'Good' segment. As for the bad, I really like the design. I got a black interior and the pearlized trim is more of a silver trim that is more fitting and goes well with the interior. I have received many compliments on this aspect. As for the ugly, I agree about a light interior. I had a Volvo S40 and while the steering wheel was black, the rest of the interior was light. As a result, the driver's seat began to discolor as a result of my jeans (I think) rubbing off on the leather. Also, the A pillar on my Murano can, at times, obstruct my view, but I'm learning to live with it. Again, overall, a great video & review. Thanks!

[@TJ-22]

How’s the Murano 5 years later?

[@rdalev1]

Funny, first bad point you state is styling....outside styling is the first thing that made me buy Murano. Not a fan of the typical square box of other Suvs. Only had 2 days . Bought a 2018 Black Platinum , with less than 18,000 miles . So far, so good. Wanted something with style, been around awhile and better gas mileage than my other car, a 2011 F150 Super Crew 4x4!

[@mackflynn]

The exterior styling, in my opinion is nearly identical to the Lexus RX, but even nicer. I’ve had a hard time finding an SUV/Crossover that isn’t boring looking (like the rogue and pathfinder) and this one certainly stands out as one of the better looking crossovers out there. Not a big fan on Nissan’s big chrome front plating over the grill that they have on all their vehicles, but otherwise it has great lines.

[@ronaldparrott4324]

My 2009 murano had a beige interior but my 2017 is midnight black . I love it a lot more. There's nothing wrong with the light color interior, but it requires more up kee. People just need to have there hand clean , & clean the steering wheel once a mounth & stop being lazy. I've always liked the styling of nissan muranos.

[@syedhussain3810]

beautiful SUV in & out I love it

[@sandybrown5123]

I have one complaint about the shape of the rear window at it's top. There is a gap that is hard to reach for washing. Otherwise, great ride. Nice inside and out. Feels comfortable and safe. VERY nice seat!. Easy on the eye black interior. LOVE the cameras!! My first moon roof...Fun car!

[@0AJN0]

I LOVE the way this Murano looks. Iagree... I think the black interior is much nicer. The yellow tone to the white is very dated (in my opinion). The gravity seats are unreal. The most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. The Bose sound system is amazing too.

[@waynewilliams1487]

Good point on the xtronic cvt. Whennattached to a weak engine the cvt is not a good match, but combined with a beefy v6-- you begin to ynderstand whynthe williams' F1 driver praised the cvt. It can helpacceleration andnefficiency. Win-win!

[@rosshussey1723]

Enjoyed the video and I am getting ready to buy a new suv. My 2005 Murano has 161K and purchased new and it has been the best vehicle we have ever had. We are seriously considering the new one. First we do like the styling, there is no other suv styled like it other than the Lexus, but I am concerned about the white leather steering wheel as I believe you are right on about the discoloration over a short period of time.

[@JenniferDacon]

The one I was looking At was similar but no sunroof. Preown artic blue

[@chrispierdominici3891]

I'd say this review makes some great points about the Murano, though I would disagree with him about the styling, with exception of the taillights. I really like styling of the 2018 Murano, because it's eye catching and distinct against the others in its class. It's not boring looking like the Pilot or plain ugly like the Lexus. This is my second Murano, and the departure of the style took some getting used to, because the 2010 I had was a little more elegant in design, while still being distinctive, whereas the this one is a little blockier. It looks nothing like a minivan. I do agree with him about the CVT transmission being a bit of a downer, because the new 8-speed that the 2018 has is considerably non-Nissan-like in its smoothness, compared to the 2010 (and my 2007 Altima for that matter), which shifted seamlessly and silkily. This one is much choppier in its shifts, especially when pushed hard in accelerating, with pronounced chunks at higher gears, and it often struggles to downshift cleanly when at lower speeds and one is modulating the pedal in more stop and go highway traffic. Mine was very choppy when I first bought it and took nearly 10K miles before it smoothed out and broke in more, but still is a bit of a disappointment in the sloppiness of it. The older 6-speed was much more refined. That said, the new engine-transmission combo is nice because the fuel economy is markedly improved. I average 24mph in mixed driving, whereas my 2010 got about 19mpg. Even though the torque and engine power are less than the 2010, the vehicle doesn't suffer for the losses, and the tradeoff for greater fuel efficiency is worth it. The comments about the tan interior are kind of silly. If you don't like a light colored interior, don't buy one with it. I have a gray exterior with the dark gray/black interior, and it's super sharp. The metal accents are much better than the faux wood ones of my 2010. My 2018 has more cushioning on the door panels than the other, and the plastic elements are higher quality. I give Nissan a lot of credit for adding a ton of features in the Platinum vs. the LE trim I had in my 2010, and improving it in a host of other ways, without increasing the costs prodigiously. There's a ton of value in a loaded Murano that puts in on par with the BMW X3, Audi Q5 or Mercedes. The new Murano is considerably quieter on the interior than my 2010 was, and that was a nicely-refined vehicle. Ride quality is definitely better, though I'd say my 2010 handled a little better, with less lean and wallow in aggressive curve-taking - though the handling of the 2018 is still pretty sporty, and considerably better than most other vehicles in its class. Overall I love my Murano and enjoy driving it, especially commuting back and forth two work everyday.

[@johnholland4094]

I own one and it’s a great car, my only complaint the trim reflects in the rear view mirror somehow and is a little distracting, black leather interior with chrome interior trim.

[@JenniferDacon]

Thanks for sharing I was looking to get one. The camera angles are great in your video. Color is the same I was looking at. Thus helps I know what u mean on the station wagon kind of look. It us preferences. Try for the video, it helps

[@joshuagilman8594]

I have a 2016 on a lease...it's so comfortable for long trips and has plenty of power. I will be buying at low rate at the end of the lease...I compared it to a comparable Lexus SUV and surprisingly, the Murano won out. But I have the new Lexus RC350 for the speed and power haha

[@SherriOnTheMove]

I disagree I own a 2016 I brought it for the styling an the power mind does have the light interior an I’ve solved that problem I have a blinged out cover on my wheel that set if off nicely. Hugs the road an easy driving. LOVE MY MURANO 😍

[@krismechels3922]

I'm on my third Murano now. I have had a 2004, 2012, and now 2018. I guess you can see I love them. I do have to say the 2018 reduced the cubbies/storage spaces and I wish they didn't leave the cup holders open in the console. I liked the 2012 where I could close up all the spaces and make it cleaner looking. I also miss the storage tray above the spare tire. That allowed me to store cables, rain coat, first aid kit, things like that. I've never had major problems with my cars, except for tornado damage on the 2004. Can't beat that. I disagree with your opinions, but that's what opinions are, subjective, right?

[@Ghost-jy9hk]

Hey kris can you ease my worries a little bit? My wife wants me to get her a murano. She LOVES it. Every time she sees one in the parking lot she starts talking about it but when i go online and read reviews and see the comments, people talk about how Nissan is junk and how the murano has all kinds of problems. Is this true or just internet bullshit? Am i safe getting her a newer murano or should i look elsewhere? Thanks

[@sherylr3457]

I disagree with you on the looks, station wagon comment and interior color. Too hot in most states for dark interiors / get a steering wheel cover. However I do agree with you on the steering wheel controls.

[@jimsargent7288]

we just got into our first nissan, question is there a audio sound for the back up camera? when you get to close to something

[@sellislut6569]

Absolutely luxurious vehicle my ex had one n I'm gonna get one since I miss her murano more than I miss her lol..

[@gaae2000]

I like the steering wheel because I have "big" hands - end.

[@malujoe]

Rear visibility is a bit compromised due to the rear vehicle styling. Good call on the light leather interior getting grimy

[@samhaskins2506]

Nice honest review, quite frankly I prefer the older Murano, at least it stood apart from the main SUV crowd with it's funky curved front. This model tries too hard to be an edgy SUV and does not carry off the uniqueness of the older shape and just looks like a conventional SUV with a few spiky bits. The Murano is competing where the BMW X5 reigns supreme and has to try harder. BTW I did love the pale interior but anyone who chooses one will have to have a professionally valet every week, lol.

[@xtaciz1]

I have a Nissan Altima a 2.5 cvt and I don't get what you are saying about the speed to me it's very responsive

[@sunshinebeauty73]

I have a 2016 Murano Platinum and I 😍

[@adobad5361]

Disagree.... I love the exterior style looks sporty and agressive. I agree on the steering wheel looks outdated and also the radio with those buttons on the sides but overall I like it and planning on buying one. Thanks for the review.

[@pierrec.5516]

Very good review, I own a 2017 Murano SL and agree with almost all your points. The styling is personal taste so up to the individual. I chose the darker interior because I did not care for the striping on the plastic finish (although I must admit the steering wheel is a good point, I can't think of another vehicle with a light coloured steering wheel). My "ugly" points are: agreed on the steering wheel ergonomics, the volume control is out of reach and a distraction. The Rogue actually has a much nicer and ergonomically friendly steering wheel (for a lesser model). The front hood angles in by the wiper blades and often creates a glare with the sun, this is a safety issue and should be addressed by Nissan (they are aware as I have seen this in other posts). Finally, I have the Nissan Connect system, it is truly useless. many times the phone would not connect, I have worked with Nissan and have at some points been told to shut the car for five minutes to get the solution. When will car manufacturers learn that the customer does not want to learn their system, we want integration with Apple car play or Android, the two most popular systems for smartphones. Good job on your review, too bad that some people trash your comments. You don't like the interior and others do, to each is own. You present it respectfully and so should not suffer personal insults on the comments section. Keep up the good work.

[@ShiftingLanes]

+Pierre C. Thank you for watching the review! We totally agree on your points about Apple car play and android auto! It’s time more companies put these in their models!

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

The CVT will be a huge cost to replace or fix and unfortunately they don't last.

Great review. Hanson, you cant ever be "wrong" with personal taste. You're allowed:)

[@alyssarapp7940]

I have one for 2 months now. I love the sleek lines on the outside and I like the pickled wood look inside. These of course are our own opinions so if that's the worst, I think it's a great car for the money. BTW, you can clean the steering wheel with some Fantastic.

Alyssa Rapp I was thinking about getting one how’s the gas, how many times do you fill up a month

[@teddyhenriquez5192]

Seriously? again the same question about Gas.

[@livelife81792]

Teddy Henriquez Rude! He’s just wanting different opinions before buying geeze let him be.

[@tamickamurray3756]

my mom didnt like the car because it was ugly on the outside but my om has been hearing good things about it now she wants one

[@overthemoon9941]

I love the styling interior & exterior and been trying to locate a light color interior..one that cleans their car sometimes weekly..the light color steeling wheel no big deal. What’s missing in review was comments on the CVT transmission...some have slammed that trans in other models..but u briefly mentioned it..? That’s far more important than interior colors.. O btw...station wagon comment..WHAT...🙄🙄🙄??

I am thinking about buying a 2017 Murano. I like the style of the vehicle. I would like to know if anyone had their Murano for 6 months or longer have had any major problems. If so, please provide feedback. Thanks

[@stylers8260]

I've had my 2017 Murano for about a year. Cant beat the price, $37K for Platinum. Thousands less than RDX ,RX, etc. Even cheaper than Highlander LTD. Only complaint: Monitor screen shows a lot of glare on sunny days, can barely see screen. Comfortable, quiet and stylish. So far no issues.

[@armadillotoe]

I don't care about the styling. The reliability is why I am here.

[@dayvidbrooks6816]

I like your review, but disagree on the styling, i understand i am biased as an owner of the Murano. I personally like the wrap around feel of the interior of my Vehicle, I also feel it has sleek lines and looked different than any other SUV on the market, I will admit I'm not particularly fond of the round bulky look of the hood,

[@waltertriplett3376]

Like this 3rd generation Nissan muranos.

[@riicaachicXx]

I agree about the steering wheel design. I feel it doesn’t match the luxury I want to feel in my platinum. It looks so old

[@waynewilliams1487]

Contrary to popular belief the xtronic cvt is awesome. It increases aceleration due to no pauses between shifting. I love down shifting to 5th to simulate a sport mode. The cvt mkes it smooth and quick. I dont get the mini van in the styling. It looks like something that should have been in the back to the future. Sporty and futuristic looking-awesome styling! Looks like it glides-with a. 31 drag you put wings on this dnd it would fly!

Modern cars have way too much unnecessary electronic garbage. The more garbage equates to more problems. I have a 2002 Rav4 that I'm still driving today and the only thing I have had to do to the Rav4 was to add 1/4 liter of oil every 6 months.

[@hollyheidt6841]

Hi I’m planning of buying the Murano next month really hoping it’s a good safe and durable vehicle - I do disagree about it’s styling I absolutely love the exterior look but I do agree about that pearl like accent inside it’s ugly! And I will never get a light co,ores interior again shows way to much dirt - loved your review

[@beyondcompare2501]

Ok a lot of comments about but none on gas,dies it take a lot of gas mileage be nice to hear from someone 👍🏼.

[@teddyhenriquez5192]

28.4 miles to the galon and uses regular gas I fill up the tank with less than 40 bucks when gas is cheap

[@rafaeltorovip]

The difference in the stile is what separates the Murano from other SuVs. I agree with you in the interior color, it may look nice but is too susceptible to dust and discoloration.

[@brrtexas9344]

Just purchased a white platinum with black wheels and interior. I think my car is sexy💋 the only downfall is the MOD and rcta seem to not work long ke the Infiniti

[@janice8TBR]

I like the styling

[@playmovingpictures]

Wash your grubby hands 😂

[@MVNHD]

is it just me or does the Murano look as big as a minivan? I thought suv's were suppose to be smaller.

[@MegaGuitarpicker]

Cool car but very narrow front leg room. I'm 6'3" and both knees were confined. Console could be lowered making more room for the right knee. I wish there were a couple more inches. My lincoln MKC has more room in this area. That plastic is called "mother of toilet seat"! This car drove great other than cockpit room.

[@gailcontr3ras]

Just bought a brand new SL today !! Glad the bad and the ugly are just personal preference was worried for a second. Love the look !! I bought pearl white and I just think it’s so sleek and so pretty.. def not a van or staton wagon but it’s def not an armada but my preference also maybe being a girl the Murano appeals to me.

[@braddavis4475]

congrats. its a good looking car

[@jvane28]

You are wrong about the styling , I get so many looks and compliments about my car. I wouldn't choose the light interior either. I would like you review an SUV that you find impeccable, just to see your comparison.

[@mellowjammer]

I am considering buying the Murano because I think it looks a bit different (better) than all the other crossovers and SUVs. Definitely NOT a minivan. But not trucklike either. Coming from a Black on Black Infiniti G35XS sedan (what was I thinking?) I'll never do that again...way too hot in summer. But i agree with the comment about the plastic in the light interior. It is Godawful ugly to me, but I would have to deal with it to get the light interior. The Murano's seats seem to be a bit "short" to me, and I'm only 5'11". They could use better thigh support for folks my height or taller. I was going to buy one in Oct 2017, but the dealer could not find a Platinum in Pacific Sunset w/cashmere interior anywhere in the country so i decided to wait until the 2018s came out. Now they have finally arrived and guess what? Pacific Sunset, which is the color they always seem to advertise this vehicle in, has been discontinued! All they added was Android auto and a foot (swipe foot under the rear bumper) operated tailgate for Platinums in 2018.

[@josefermalino461]

The style is the big selling point of the murano.it seems ur taste is like an old people going to back to 80s style...hey if u don’t like that beige color there’s an option all black interior...

[@ijazmoh9545]

Good honest review.

[@gordonzinkowski9394]

your person comments, yes , because you really don't know good from bad. ie use a cloth like cleaning your face for cleaning the steering wheel. You should do it for any colour....cleanliness, germs ???

[@azariamayes]

I will agree i don't like a lite color intertior. They get dirty faster.

[@chipcopp5286]

Looks like a minivan or a souped up station wagon??🤣🤣u lost me on that, it's the best looking SUV crossover on the road hands down..
