Difference between the 2017 Nissan Rogue and 2017 Nissan Murano
SUV shopping isn’t as simple as it used to be. There was a time when you could see that bold design and know it would likely be the right choice for your needs, but now these vehicles look similar in pictures, but are quite different in person. Today, we’re talking size. Compact crossovers are a step up from your sedan or hatchback, but what if you’re a weekend warrior? Can you fit all your supplies? When it comes to the difference between the 2017 Nissan Rogue and 2017 Nissan Murano, you want to know before you schedule a test drive.
Size of the 2017 Nissan Rogue vs Murano
When it comes to an SUV comparison, the main question is one of sizing. You’ll find similar options when it comes to connectivity and comfort, though the exact way they play out across trim levels may differ. No, the main concern is going to be the specific specs. After all, most images aren’t giving you a good idea of scale except in the sense that the Murano appears a bit longer and sleeker. How much bigger is it, really?
| 2017 Nissan Rogue S | vs | 2017 Nissan Murano S |
|---|---|---|
| $23,820 | Starting MSRP | $29,770 |
| 2.5-liter 4-cylinder; 170hp, 175 lb-ft | Engine Specs | 3.5-liter V6; 260hp, 240 lb-ft |
| 26 city/33 hwy | Fuel Economy (MPG) - FWD | 21 city/28 hwy |
| 1,000 lbs. | Max Towing Capacity | 1,500 lbs. |
| 105.8 cu. ft. (126.5 cu. ft. w/Family Package) | Passenger Space | 108.1 cu. ft. |
| 70 cu. ft. | Max Cargo Space | 67 cu. ft. |
| Yes | Hybrid Option | No |
| 106.5" | Wheelbase | 111.2" |
Another key figure to note is the towing capacity for the Rogue vs Murano, if such capabilities are an important factor in your decision. Either model can be found with AWD options, so they’ll feel equally capable as far as traction is concerned, though the V6 in the Murano will naturally give it a more powerful feel.
