When you want power, an SUV like the Nissan Murano or the Honda CR-V is just what you need. Both models have reliable powertrains to take you where you need to go, but which one has the better output?
Both the Nissan Murano and the Honda CR-V have impressive engines. For instance, the Honda CR-V offers a gas engine that puts out 190 horsepower (HP), while the hybrid options reach a total net horsepower of 204 HP. Although these are impressive numbers, they’re not quite able to compete with the Nissan Murano.
With its standard 3.5L V6 engine, the Murano puts out 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. For drivers who want a little bit of oomph, the Nissan Murano is calling your name.
Both the Honda and the Nissan SUVs come with impressive drivetrains. For instance, the Nissan Murano has an Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission). The CVT® provides seamless acceleration and gear changes while keeping RPMs low and consistent, yielding superior fuel economy compared to a traditional automatic transmission.
The Honda CR-V has a similar Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
One of the main reasons families love SUVs is the cabin space. Both the Nissan Murano and the Honda CR-V have room for you and your passengers to stretch out and relax.
Whether you’re driving near or far, an enjoyable ride is a must. With tons of interior features that add to your comfort, the Nissan Murano and the Honda CR-V are great options.
Both models offer standard Dual Zone Automatic Temperature Control, which will allow you and your front passenger to individually choose your preferred temperatures.
The Nissan Murano and the Honda CR-V ensure maximum comfort with a few shared features, such as a 10-way power driver’s seat, including 2-way power lumbar support. They also both have heated front seats.
However, only the Murano offers cooled seats in addition to heated ones.
From their touchscreen displays to their various safety systems, the Nissan Murano and the Honda CR-V have quite a bit of technology for you to enjoy. Both models make it easy to stay connected and drive as safely as possible.
The Murano and the Edge both provide touchscreens and standard 6-speaker sound systems and offer available premium audio systems with speakers in the double digits.
However, the standard screen in the Murano will make it easier to follow directions, find your favorite playlists, and more due to its bigger size. It comes standard at eight inches, while the CR-V standard screen is just seven inches.
As family SUVs, the Nissan Murano and the Honda CR-V are here to help keep your family safe on your travels. The Honda CR-V has Honda Sensing®, while the Murano has standard Nissan Safety Shield® 360. These systems share a lineup of safety features, such as Blind Spot Warning and High Beam Assist.
However, the Nissan Murano includes a safety feature that won’t be found on the CR-V. This is Intelligent Driver Alertness, which will monitor your driving behavior and let you know if it detects signs of drowsy or distracted driving. That way, you can decide if it’s time to switch drivers or pull over to take a break.
