The Nissan Murano is a midsize two-row SUV that has carved out a distinct identity in a crowded segment by leaning into style and comfort over rugged utility. Aimed squarely at adult couples and small families who prioritize a refined, car-like driving experience, the Murano competes against stalwarts like the Ford Edge and Honda Passport. MotorCaliber covers the 2019 through 2025 model years.
The 2019 Nissan Murano earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 93 out of 100, an exceptional result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. Both frontal and side crash protection reached the full 5 stars. It has 1 recall on record, reflected in the score.
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally regard the Murano as one of the more stylish and comfort-focused entries in the midsize SUV segment, praising its upscale interior feel and smooth ride. Most professional assessments note that it trades some practicality and cargo versatility compared to boxier rivals, but consider it a strong choice for buyers who prioritize a relaxed, premium-leaning driving experience.
