I was doing research about the 2019 Murano and came across this review. As for the drivetrain, unfortunately, Nissan did not make any change on it for the mid-cycle refresh. I wish they could make some updates/improvements. Anyway, this review is helpful. Thanks a lot!
Good stuff for a crossover with under 7 inches of ground clearance and no 4WD mechanicals! What happens if you damage the car when it is in your possession?
Im guessing this is how nissans AWD system works, but i noticed when you got stuck that only the front wheels were spinning. Didn't see any rotation of the rear wheels. The murano is front wheel drive biased, but when do the rear wheels get power? Looked like a FWD only model.
Low profile tires are not good in those conditions, but thanks for the video. I really like the Murano. It looks like a capable vehicle for the average person.
Nice review, really like these videos. I know you get cars when you can but do you think you will ever get a chance to take the Subaru Outback out there? Hopefully with snow.
so like my 07 murano, the awd system isn't very useful. The rear wheels didn't seem to kick in most of the time.... well the times you could see them on screen. I wonder if you can get a platinum murano without awd.
It is good to know the capabilities of the Murano in case of a SHTF situation. For example , California wild fires. Call me paranoid, but never said never.
I'm a mountain biker too. Were you able to fit your mtb in the back without taking off the front wheel? (That's my requirement for my next vehicle - taking off thru-axles 3-4 times/week sucks) If so, how hard was it to get through that smaller rear hatch opening? Thanks
stripe3 Would you mind leaving me this question in the form of a voicemail on EverymanDriver.com? I'd love to feature it on an upcoming episode of the Car Show Podcast or a Video Response!? - Dave
Appears to have a pretty poor AWD system. One wheel drive front and one rear. Mind you, it's not at all made for that type of driving. More made for a snowy mall parking lot.
That's a tough one. Both are awesome though. I think the Murano is a bit more bang for your buck and looks a bit better. The Volvo is still great though.
What do you mean it wasn't built for that?? In AWD I expect more than just wheel working, regardless if it's on a snowy mall or a dirt hill. Makes no sense how it is claimed to be AWD and he can barely climb up that hill....Are you sure it's AWD and not front week drive? Why didn't your rear wheels rotate?
si vous voulez faire de la trail.... achetez vous un 4x4.... pas un VUS de dimanche.... pas fort.... qui va allez dans le bois avec un tel véhivule????

***** Really? I have owned 2 Merc, 2 BMW a Jeep, 5 Toyota's, a corvette, Audi, and 6 Mitsubishi's. None of the Mitsubishi's have ever been in the shop even once. Not one of the 6 even one time. There is a mentality that Mitsubishi is a bad car. Not even close. You are just hating on a brand that is popular to hate on. By far the worst cars I have ever owned was the Mercedes. The best was the Mitsubishi's. I must admit that I would have never guessed that record, but it is true. Besides, a car with an all wheel drive system from the EVO (my last car) is fine by me. It is the best. Actual owners love them. BTW if you must buy German buy a BMW. It came in a very second to Mitsi in reliabilty. Never under any circumstance buy a Merc. Especially not an AMG.
@Steve Skinner. That's funny that you mentioned Mitsubishi. We just sold our 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander and got a 2019 Murano. The Mitsubishi was INCREDIBLY reliable. Never been had any problems (only had to replace a bolt that was rusty on the heat shield). We have had 3 Mitsubishis and 6 Nissans. NONE of the Mitsubishis have ever needed any major repairs. The Nissans had very minor issues after 110k miles. Would've gotten another Outlander but they stopped putting NAVs in them and require you to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. I wasn't comfortable relying on that when I'm driving through the middle of nowhere without phone signal lol. But Mitsus are FANTASTIC, bullet-reliable vehicles.
Nissan made the front of the 2015 Murano even uglier... this time it looks like Donald Duck! And the CVT and underpowered engine is back again. Who in their right mind would buy this over the 2015 KIA Sorento or 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe? Nissan needs a new design team.

I bought this car based on this review. You did everything to it that will never do but it is nice to know it could handle it.
Thanks,
Steve
6:05, might as well just have said "Hi I'm Dave Erickson. I get vehicles stuck so you don't have to."
Bought a 2018 Murano SL Back in Feb,Pearl White w Black Leather interior and BOSE AUDIO,Really Like the Manual Shift Mode
Glad to see my Murano is that capable if needed. Thank you. All Terrain tires and lift kit we go next~ lol
SOLD!!! ...Amazing Review
With being just 7" from the ground, I'm curious to know how it does in the snow?

awesome video bro, love the off road vids
Would be more interested in seeing how the AWD system improves handling on the street in rain(ehich would be more helpful thwn off-roading.
Just drove it yesterday ! Its at the top of my list ! Want to drive the GLC 300 no compare it!

GREAT REVIEW !!!! IM DEFF CONSIDERING THIS VEHICLE
Great video as always!!!
I'm surprised this is in Spokane, I'd never expect Spokane to be in TH-cam 😁. Gotta bring my jeep there and get a Discover Pass.
Low profile tires are not good in those conditions, but thanks for the video. I really like the Murano. It looks like a capable vehicle for the average person.
Nice to know a Murano can get through that if it ever needed to
Is it possible for a Toyota Highlander2014/15 off road review
Nice review, really like these videos. I know you get cars when you can but do you think you will ever get a chance to take the Subaru Outback out there? Hopefully with snow.
2:54 "little spinach there" :D
so like my 07 murano, the awd system isn't very useful. The rear wheels didn't seem to kick in most of the time.... well the times you could see them on screen. I wonder if you can get a platinum murano without awd.
you shouldn't have to back it up and gain momentum to get through the tough spots if it's awd; you could do that with 2wd
+mitchlu I'll remember that for next time, thank you - Dave
For an AWD, this car doesn't seem to send power to the rear wheels too good when the front is slipping...
I hope you get a Juke to do a Dirty off-road review!
It is good to know the capabilities of the Murano in case of a SHTF situation. For example , California wild fires. Call me paranoid, but never said never.
Why doesn't it seem to be diverting power the the rear wheels when the front is slipping? Seems more FWD than AWD.
+Harry Campbell I dont think it was locked
What kind of mountain bike do you have? Any videos of you riding?
I'm a mountain biker too. Were you able to fit your mtb in the back without taking off the front wheel? (That's my requirement for my next vehicle - taking off thru-axles 3-4 times/week sucks) If so, how hard was it to get through that smaller rear hatch opening? Thanks
How about the 50-50 lock. It goes off at a certain speed. ?????? & why
Nice driving!
dude, it wasn't designed for that
How do you get this cars to test? Like these vids btw :D
It's surprisingly capable considering how under-torqued it is.
Why is the tire off the ground,spinning- should the power go to the tire with the grip ????
Open differentials. Power goes to the tire with the least grip.
How would you compare the Murano Platinum to the Grand Cherokee Overland. I'm looking to purchase something soon with a 4x4 and can tow well.
stripe3 Would you mind leaving me this question in the form of a voicemail on EverymanDriver.com? I'd love to feature it on an upcoming episode of the Car Show Podcast or a Video Response!? - Dave
Yea, no problem. I'll visit the site soon to do so. Thanks.
Was the AWD switch to lock to play in the dirt?
Looks like fun.
Big Dave
I didn't see rear wheels spinning ! are u sure it's awd?
first 10 seconds, is the bumper ok? lol
greit video men =)
Left the VM today. thanks
stripe3 Thank you, got it!
Is this permanent AWD? Ground clearance of this vs pathfinder?
damn i was hoping he would drive it into that large puddle at the end
When are you going to get the ford mustang GT, or the Ecoboost to review?
MRACPD Alpha When FORD sends me their vehicles to review... I'd love to review more FORDs but I'm waiting my turn :-)
yo tengo un murano año 2014 y es pesimo of road ni con la caja secuencial sube algo sin dejar de lado que es una cuna en terrenos normales .....
Wait why were back wheels turning aswell?
I really like these ne muranos
I miss the snow.
that squeaky leather :) 5:19
either that's FWD or the traction control sucks
ur awesome :)
My 2012 Murano literally gets stuck in wet grass lol
N. Burke So this demo was actually helpful in showing what the Murano can do? - Dave
+N. Burke (RangerBlaze) front or all wheel drive?
+N. Burke (RangerBlaze) buy better tires
Mark G it all comes to down tires...
I hope he realizes that nobody is going to do this type of offloading unless they have a truck
Appears to have a pretty poor AWD system. One wheel drive front and one rear. Mind you, it's not at all made for that type of driving. More made for a snowy mall parking lot.
you are right, just made for flat surface parking lot with snow, and it rolls backwards when one of the wheels goes up in the air,
yea, the awd is bad, but this is just a family crossover. doing this is considerably good. try to do it in trax or rav4.
ib516 yup, doesnt look like AWD at all.
ib516 AWD is not 4WD. This car was never designed to do what this idiot did.
Well the real offroad from nissan is xterra this is designed for soccer moms
Which is better? Nissan Murano or Volvo XC60?
That's a tough one. Both are awesome though. I think the Murano is a bit more bang for your buck and looks a bit better. The Volvo is still great though.
Mitsubishi kills this, 8.5" ground clearance and standard ASC plus AWC and centre diff lock.
Yes!!!!!
That approach angle is awfully low....
Ground clearance is really lacking
It's not made to be off-roading! It's meant for someone to go shopping at Macy's.
Jeep Compass?
What do you mean it wasn't built for that?? In AWD I expect more than just wheel working, regardless if it's on a snowy mall or a dirt hill. Makes no sense how it is claimed to be AWD and he can barely climb up that hill....Are you sure it's AWD and not front week drive? Why didn't your rear wheels rotate?
Traction control doesn't seem to be doing it's job.
We wanna see Melissa doing off road reviews with you.
My 2005 Outback XT would embarrass this thing on the same course - nice ride though.
si vous voulez faire de la trail.... achetez vous un 4x4.... pas un VUS de dimanche.... pas fort.... qui va allez dans le bois avec un tel véhivule????
Who's gonna drive a Murano off road?????
No one lol
Nissan USA FAILED with the Maruno. While the rest of the world gets a regular transmission, the USA gets a CVT! 😅😂

Nice yoga pants!
DanSodorXBfan Incorrect guess.
cool
Dave ericson
Yeah, crappy AWD system. Kept spinning one tire.
***** The Mitsubishi has torque vectoring for less money

Off-roading with a unibody frame... yeaaaaah.
the Awd Suck, even for its class
Thanks for convincing me NOT to purchase one of these. I never see an indication of AWD/4WD in this.
Worst off-roader ever made? Possibly
I have mitsubishi outlander 2007 xls and it would climb all of that in 2wd this car sucks

You're an infantile pillock if you think this vehicle is ugly.
nice
