What’s the best year for a used Nissan Murano?

I’m considering getting a used Nissan Murano. I like the car’s look, and after driving my friend’s 2020 model, I’m impressed. But what’s the best year for a used Nissan Murano, and what years should I try to avoid?

The
Nissan Murano
is a great car, but it unfortunately has several model years worth avoiding. We wouldn’t recommend buying any Nissan Murano from model years 2004 through 2009 or the 2015 model. These racked up a lot of complaints and recalls, and reportedly had a lot of mechanical issues as well.
The best years for used Nissan Murano models include 2012, 2013, and anything from 2017 on. The 2016 model was also good, but the 2017 model can be found for comparable prices and had some great safety features that weren’t available in the 2016 model.
If we had to definitively state the best year for a used Nissan Murano, we’d have to go with 2022. Yeah, we know that’s pretty new. But in the realm of used car buying, newer is generally better, and Nissan seems to have worked out all the kinks with these newest Nissan Murano models.
We hope this information is useful, and that you love your new-to-you Nissan Murano when you finally choose one. And hey, before you go, be sure to take a look at our guide that explains
