Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryThe fourth generation of the Murano comes with a new powertrain and lots of new features, including tech and comfort options making their way into this lineup for the first time ever. Yet Nissan has also, for some reason, felt it necessary to take away certain desirable offerings that used to be more affordably accessible. It sits at the upper end of the automaker’s crossover and SUV range, above the Nissan Kicks, the Nissan Rogue, and the Nissan Ariya EV, but below the larger Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Armada. Verdict: We’ve got a lot of good things to say about this new Murano. The downgrades stick in our craw, but in reality they represent just a small handful of the many changes that are generally quite positive. | |
