Price Range: $27,680 - $37,260

Handling
With their similar turning circles, the Nissan Murano and the average SUV most definitely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Nissan Murano's engine is a tad smaller than the typical SUV's, but not terribly so. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the average SUV isn't much more powerful than the Nissan Murano.

Utility
The average SUV will quite certainly prove handier than the Murano for those of you with frequent child-cargo. There's no clear winner between the typical SUV and the Nissan Murano regarding transporting cargo. The average SUV outpulls the Murano by a big margin.

Convenience
You quite certainly won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the average SUV than with the Nissan Murano, because both offer comparable ranges.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the average SUV offers a bit more head room than the Murano, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The average SUV is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the Nissan Murano.

Dimensions
The average SUV is considerably heavier than the Nissan Murano. The Murano's tank is almost the same size as the average SUV's, though the average SUV's is a tad bigger. The Nissan Murano and the typical SUV compete for the same parking spaces.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Murano to the dealership as the typical SUV. Producing an exact fuel economy evaluation is so hard that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though both the Nissan Murano and the Nissan Murano perform approximately comparably with respect to gas mileage. The average SUV doesn't pale in comparison to the Murano as far as fuel economy. When it comes to MSRP, the Nissan Murano costs considerably less than the typical SUV.

Overview
The basic warranty that comes with the Murano isn't quite as generous as the average SUV's.

The price a car site displays won't be what you'll pay for an actual car with specific options.
