2015 Nissan Murano vs. Edge vs. Santa Fe Sport
When it comes to midsize crossovers in Billings, the three main frontrunners are the Nissan Murano, the Ford Edge, and the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. But which SUV pulls ahead of the others? In July, Motor Trend set out to find out.
Similarities Among Murano, Edge, and Santa Fe Sport
Motor Trend began by pointing out several similarities among all three SUVs in Billings:- Front-wheel-drive-based underpinnings with all-wheel-drive options
- Midsize footprints with plenty of interior room
- Attractive, non-elongated rear proportions with loads of cargo space
- Sporting pretension with powerful engines
Why Murano Trumps Edge and Santa Fe Sport
After completing a thorough inspection and test drive of each SUV, Motor Trend found the 2015 Nissan Murano the SUV to beat. Here's why:
- Driving performance: With its continuously variable automatic transmission, superior handling, and excellent stability control, the Murano drives "rather delightful – smooth riding, reasonably quiet, a good blend of everything."
- Interior features: The Murano boasts an amazing navigation system, complete with a large, responsive touchscreen and sharp graphics. Add that to the luxurious seats and apparently more legroom, and "the Murano has the nicest interior of all three competitors."
- Overall package: When equipped with the Technology package, the Murano comes with fantastic features: adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with auto braking, and a panoramic sunroof. The Murano's phenomenal fuel economy (20.3/26.8/22.8 real city/highway/combined) "knocked it straight into a first-place finish."
