The third-generation 2019 Nissan Murano might not be as new as
the 2022 model
—and that’s actually a good thing. When it comes to shopping for new SUVs, they’re notoriously expensive.But looking for a three-year-old SUV is the sweet spot for
buyers
, especially considering the current vehicle shortage. With only a moderate amount of wear and tear, and most (if not all) of the modern features that the most up-to-date models have, three-year-old SUVs like the 2019 Nissan Murano, are a surefire pick. Learn more about the Nissan Murano, and why Consumer Reports
recommends it as a solid midsize SUV. 
The 2019 Nissan Murano’s top features
The 2019 Nissan Murano is recommended by Consumer Reports. And while it doesn’t have a perfect rating, this midsize SUV comes loaded with features that might make buyers question buying a brand new model.

- Standard rearview camera
- Standard forward collision warning (FCW)
- Standard automatic emergency braking (AEB)

How does the 2019 Nissan Murano compare to other vehicles?
Other top contenders in Consumer Report’s comparison list included the 2019 Subaru Outback and the 2019 Mazda CX-9, both of which scored highly and are also popular midsized SUVs. Compared to the Nissan Murano:
- Both the 2019 Outback and CX-9 have higher customer satisfaction ratings, but have lower reliability ratings
- The Subaru Outback has more standard safety features, including pedestrian warning, lane keeping assistance, blind-spot warning, and lane departure warning systems
- Both the Outback and CX-9 start at around $1,000 cheaper than the Murano (new), but rank evenly in regards to interior quality and seat comfort
The Nissan Murano has slightly worse gas mileage, but this is mostly due to having two extra cylinders compared to the other two midsize SUVs. This offers the Murano improved towing capacity and acceleration time over the Outback and CX-9—at the cost of a little more gas at the pump.
