It’s still a top choice for looks and value, but the powertrain’s just OK, as is the warranty. We give it a TCC Rating of 6.5 out of 10. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
What’s new for the 2022 Nissan Murano?
The Murano SV gains synthetic leather upholstery and heated front seats, and an optional Midnight black trim package with 20-inch wheels.
The Murano has one of the more attractive shapes in its mid-size crossover niche. It pioneered the distinctive floating-roof look that’s been copied by others, but none wear it so well; credit’s due to a fine sense of balance. That balance goes overboard inside, where convention rules the dash and controls.
That holds true under the hood, too, where the Murano’s 260-hp V-6 teams with a CVT to reel out useful, but not exciting, power. The Murano puts its best performance foot forward with a well-damped ride; steering feel and fuel economy slip to the lower half of the to-do list.
Ahead of them comes seat comfort. The Murano offers front passengers excellent support and space, though the back-seat passengers get noticeably less head room with the optional sunroof. Cargo room swells to 67.0 cubic feet with the back seats folded down; it’s better at duffing cargo than it is at towing, with its meager 1,500-lb limit.
The Murano aces crash tests, and all models have automatic emergency braking. A surround-view camera system and adaptive cruise control come only on the more expensive versions, though.
How much does the 2022 Nissan Murano cost?
The base $34,085 Murano S has 18-inch wheels, an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and cloth seats. All-wheel drive costs $1,700 more. We’d pick the $37,625 Murano SV, which has power front seats and parking sensors. You’ll have to spend at least $41,000 to get leather and better Bose audio.
