Nissan Murano vs. Jeep Wrangler Review

Utility
The Nissan Murano will quite certainly prove more convenient than the Jeep for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. The Nissan Murano is a better choice than the Wrangler with respect to hauling capacity, especially if you often need to carry a lot of gear or large animals. The Nissan Murano outpulls the Jeep Wrangler by a sizeable margin.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the Nissan Murano packs quite a punch and will knock the Jeep down a few rungs. However, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Nissan Murano than the Jeep Wrangler because of its larger tank. The Jeep Wrangler fits in smaller parking spaces than the Nissan Murano. The Jeep's shorter wheelbase may produce a less-settled highway ride but a sprier feel in daily traffic than the Nissan Murano.

Convenience
You'll quite certainly have to take the Jeep for a fill-up more often than the Nissan because of its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs about the same to get the Wrangler to the dealership as the Nissan Murano. The Jeep Wrangler will tax your gasoline budget considerably more than the Nissan Murano will. As far as fuel economy, the Nissan Murano beats the Wrangler. Regarding MSRP, the Nissan Murano costs substantially more than the Wrangler.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Jeep Wrangler and the Nissan Murano most certainly handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Nissan Murano's engine is slightly smaller than the Jeep Wrangler's, but not terribly so. The Wrangler has no lessons to learn in terms of pickup from the Murano.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Wrangler's front cabin compared to the Nissan Murano. While the rear of the Jeep Wrangler provides a bit more head- and leg-room than the Nissan Murano, there honestly isn't much of a difference.
