As Promised, a More Detailed Review of the Murano.
This is a bit on the long side, but I do Cover Lots of Stuff Folks. ,,I Hope, if You're Really Interested in this One, You''ll Grab a Coffee/Tea & Stay Tuned in.
* Please Comment Below if You Like this Vehicle ? will put on your list to go test drive ? What you don't like about it ?
* CORRECTION: To Clarify, the 2019 Murano Does have the Forward Collision Warning & Braking Standard, but the added "Pedestrian Detection feature that is not Avail. Until the Platinum Trim. And this added feature is now std. in the SV Trim for 2020.

* Pricing Info Further Down. * Here's My General Feedback, followed by My "Pros & Cons"

* Overall, I do actually like this SUV Very Much. It's has a great balance of all the categories. Most folks just want a decent vehicle in general and don't care about the best sporty drive like a Porsche Cayenne. A good all around quality vehicle.
** On My Short List for Sure !**
Pros:
- Forward Collision Warning/Braking is Std.
- V6 Power (some have more) but here it's more than enough.
- Fuel Economy w/this power is very decent in it's class.
- Ride Comfort is Top Notch ! Period !
- Seating comfort Front/Back is Top Notch !
- Techy Infotainment System & the LCD Screen in the Dash are very Intuitive and Lots of info/options they can do and you can set up preferences. Easy to navigate to widgets and find POI, is better than other vehicles.
- Cabin has Luxury touches and finishes (Platinum trim even better)
- Cabin Noise is on the Low side (Good Side).
- Memory Seats/Mirrors (and w/power steering wheel, in Platinum trim)
- Back to power, Low & Hwy ranges are good,
- AWD system automatically powering all 4's on acceleration from a stop/cornering is good for traction.
- Seat height from the ground is good for sliding right in.
- NO auto engine stop/start thing (I think it's a pro, cause I don't like it).
- LOTS of Normal Hard use buttons for Everyday used features !!
- It has the Remote Start w/climate system setting the hot/cold air setting according to the weather conditions.

SoSo:
- Handling.. It's adequate, and not a con cause it's decent and it's subjective to what people prefer. but bit better would be nice for Emergency maneuvers are better, with better handling (usually)
- 4 way power on passenger side, would be better if was 6 way (up/down added).
- Ground Clearance, personally, I just believe all SUV should have min. 7" or more. this one has 6.9".. so, if never going down trails or that, and are just road driver, it's not an issue at all, why it makes the slide into your seat, a good height.
- Adaptive cruise would of been nice to at least be in SL Trim.

Cons:
- Doesn't have the locking center diff anymore. I believe it had it in previous years. It's great for deeper snow/going up steep hills in winter.. but many don't have that anymore... Not really a Big Con, but since it used to have it, why take away a good thing.
they have it in the Rogue, I believe.
- Cargo space is bit less than some of it's competitors (but adequate)
- Lane departure warning and prevention system is on the weak side from it's competitors (if you care about using that feature).
- Headlights are not as bright as they could be/compared to others.
- I don't like when they have 2 interior colours, but they choose which matches the exterior, instead of having both, so consumer chooses.. not really a con against the vehicle, but Nissan (other brands do the same).

* If want a great comfy ride for a LONG Road trip, this is Great !

*Pricing*Approx.
S Trim - FWD - $ 33K
SV Trim-AWD - $ 40K
SL Trim-AWD - $ 43K
Platimum AWD - $ 46K
