2024 Nissan Murano vs. 2024 Honda CRV Comparison

2024 Nissan Murano vs. 2024 Honda CRV Comparison

If you are planning on purchasing a subcompact SUV, you’re likely in the market for something that balances comfort, cutting-edge technology features, and safety. Both the 2024 Nissan Murano and Hond CR-V stand out as fan favorites in this segment.

Today, our team at Maus Nissan of North Tampa puts these two vehicles to a head-to-head test, and shares why the Murano is our top choice!

Style

Of course, which vehicle comes out on top will depend largely on what your preferred style is, you’ll find that the Murano and CR-V exteriors are slightly different.

• The Murano offers a sporty look with a floating roofline, swept-back headlights, and an aggressive front grille.
• The CR-V has a more rigid exterior with high-up taillights, wrap-around headlights, and a large, elongated hood and bumper.

Performance & Handling

When it comes to performance, the 2024 Nissan Murano takes the lead with a powerful V6 engine that creates 260 horsepower and offers a smooth ride. This engine is paired with an advanced Xtronic CVT transmission.

The Honda CR-V has a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, that is quite efficient, though it offers less horsepower than the Murano. Honda does offer a hybrid version that gives buyers better fuel efficiency, but many buyers are set on the Murano due to its power on the road.

Interior & Comfort

Interior features and comfort are important factors for buyers to consider when purchasing a vehicle, and here, the Nissan Murano is a great choice! With a spacious cabin and upscale materials throughout, the feel inside the cabin is more luxurious than its price suggests.

The Honda CR-V is a practical subcompact SUV, but it doesn’t quite match the amenities that the Murano offers. While it does offer ample space inside, the interior comes off as more utilitarian than luxe.

Both the Murano and CR-V can seat five and offer generous legroom and cargo space, but if a more refined atmosphere is important to you, then the Murano’s interior design will be right up your alley!

Technology & Safety Features

Both subcompact SUVs come equipped with state-of-the-art technology and safety features. The Murano has Nissan’s intuitive NissanConnect system which features an easy-to-use touchscreen, smartphone integration, and a premium sound system. Plus, ProPILOT assist is an available feature that offers an additional layer of safety while on the road.

The Honda CR-V also comes with a suite of safety technologies called Honda Sensing, but some of the interfaces can be clumsy and cluttered and are less user-friendly than those found in the Murano.

Why Choose the 2024 Nissan Murano?

While both the 2024 Murano and CR-V have several standout features, the Murano is at the top of our list due to its combination of robust performance, a luxurious interior, and intuitive safety and driver assistance technology.

It’s become a fan favorite for a reason!
