Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Dodge Durango than in the Nissan Murano. The Nissan Murano will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Dodge Durango.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Dodge Durango as you will with the Nissan Murano, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Dodge Durango is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan Murano.

Dimensions
Since the Dodge Durango is much slimmer than the Nissan Murano, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Dodge Durango, which is slightly longer than the Nissan Murano.

When considering towing capacity, the Dodge Durango is clearly the choice over the Nissan Murano for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Dodge Durango greatly out-muscles the Nissan Murano.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Dodge Durango does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan Murano.
