This is a comparison review of between the Toyota Prado and the Nissan Murano (Z51 series) of 2010. The Nissan Murano model that we're looking was released in 2009 and a refinement of the original 2002 model. Strangely it is not a popular model due obviously to its loud front end exterior design. We actually like the look of the Murano because it does stand out but also because it is a very good car. Comparing the Prado and Murano is not appropriate since the two are very different cars. However we think it is worth considering because it is easy enough to get over the front end design and look at the side and rear which is good looking. To be perfectly honest the Murano is a overlooked model for what is a legitimately competitor to the Lexus RX - since both are not serious off road vehicles but luxury road biased SUVs. Seriously give it a go. It feels more expensive than say the CX-9 or BMW X1 and X3. The specification comparison and review are listed below.

The interior for the Murano is a standout in terms of quality of materials and build quality - for a Nissan. It overwhelms you with cosseted and chunkiness and softness. There are also lots of gadgets to play with! Overall it is a nice place to be and leaves you with the impression of luxury. The Prado does not feel as nice. The Murano is probably better compared with the Lexus RX350. In that comparison the Nissan would still win due to the price factor. The Murano is a quiet and clam place to be on the road this is a standout in the current Nissan range for sure. It does not reach Lexus RX quality but it is pretty close - 90% perhaps?? There's enough power to to use if you wanted to. However you will not be able to go everywhere you'd want off-road but that's the trade off. The only issue we have with the drive is the huge expanse of bonnet unless you are really tall or have the seat height adjusted correctly. All up we'd buy a Murano if we didn't go off road. In that sense the Prado is the compromise. Strangely when we compared it to the Lexus RX350 we'd still pick the Murano and know that we have money left over to buy a base model Prado for off-road work. Give the Nissan Murano a go and you will be surprised.
It's a bargain for the price and a good car too! |
