2015 Nissan Murano – Redline: Review

Nissan created a new mid-size crossover segment with the introduction of the Murano name back in 2003. However, with a slew of fresh competitors from Honda, Toyota, and Ford has the original faded into the background or will this redesigned 2015 model be the comeback the company needs?

Everything looks so dark .... U need a sunny day for a black car with black interior

I really do like this car, I have been a big Nissan fan for a long time now and they never failed to impress me. Thanks for your review, because as always you are very knowledgeable and have the information for a consumer to make a good decision when researching and purchasing a new automobile.

Anybody just hate Nissan's steering wheels?

That damn Murano with the VQ35DE has been EXCELLENT for my family. Writing this in 2022 I will tell you that people are missing the instantaneous response and torque of the V6. Thankfully, I still have one. Sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone....

Turbo is not always a good thing in the economy segment. Turbo leads to many reliability issues. The reliability is more important  than acceleration or few added mpg's.

Good review as always.  One suggestion: show the interior outside, not in a garage.  It's very dark and is really hard to see the inside the car.

I found this review to be somewhat annoying.  An individual with more maturity and wisdom might provide us with a less slanted review.  While pointing out the virtues as well as the faults this reviewer couldn't help himself but denegrate the vehicle  for not being sporty (rough riding) and "fun" to drive.  He's right.  People who purchase in this segment generally are not looking for a sports car.  It's inherently higher center of gravity and tendency to roll over in an accident compared to cars would preclude most from even thinking in that direction.  As he stated the new Murano is quiet, stable, soft riding with lots of creature comforts.  That is what I am looking for.

I've driven the Murano as a loaner car while my RAV4 was getting fixed, and let me tell you, it's a great car, but it is definitely huge. It was definitely hard to park it in my garage since it is pretty wide.

I really love it in black... but for people saying they hate CVT's; Nissan doesn't make a bad CVT, or a bad vehicle, but its definitely something you have to get used to. I've driven Pathfinders and Altima's and sometimes found it to be jerky and laggy and droney at times. I just wish they would've stuck with a normal transmission...

at 28 mpg epa for awd, in a vehicle this size, I'm surprised to hear you say you wish there was a fuel efficient option. This is one of the most fuel efficient vehicles in this segment.

Am seriously contemplating on buying a 2015 or 2016 one, but am reading lot of CVT problems. Do these newer gen Muranos also have these issues or it is safe to buy one? Please advise.

Review was well thought out, but could barely see anything because of lighting. Please shoot in better lighting (Perhaps outdoors) for future reviews.

If the Pathfinder's interior was carried over from the Murano, I would have considered one but the fact it's so expensive especially with it's subpar interior, I cant see why I would get a pathfinder, especially with how there are better alternatives like the Durango. Come to think of it, I would also get a Jeep Grand Cherokee over a Murano. Also, the Nissan Murano isn't the first mid sized crossover, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is. And yes, I consider the Grand Cherokee a crossover because it was always built on a unibody chassis which in my opinion, if an SUV is built so, it's a crossover.

Family member of mine owns a 2015 Murano SL AWD, but it lacks rain sensing wipers which is surprising given the cost of the vehicle.

Is there a big difference for the 2019 model? Or the model 2015 to 2019 pretty much the same would make easier to buy the early year to save 10 or 20 grand?

Love our 2015 Murano. We have been getting around 33-35 mpg on the highway, and 25 in town. We still have our 2007 Murano and to me the steering in the 07 is heavier and it's lighter in the 15. I can get the 07 Murano to peel out and with the 15 I can't. The awd has definitely improved too.

This was a good review! Whenever you get a chance... can you please do a review on the 2015 Jeep Renegade limited or trailhawk? Sofyan Bey

Thanks for the review. I Got the platinum with technology package, but it doesn't have the lane departure warning as you mentioned in your video. It's only blind stop, forward collision warning with emergency braking, and smart Cruz. That's it. This car is extremely stylish and comfortable. LED headlights are quite awesome and it gives you very good vision.

Not a great review in my opinion...talking way too fast and driving unsafe through residential neighborhoods where kids are playing (ay least 40mph in a 30mph zone at 9:05).  Get it out on the highway to do that bud!
