Which SUV is right for you: Murano or RX 350?
Price is a huge concern for most people who are looking to buy an SUV, and you will be pleased to learn that the 2021 Murano is far cheaper than the RX 350. In fact, you will save nearly $13,000 by getting behind the wheel of the Murano over the RX 350.
You don’t get many advantages for getting the RX 350. Both have similar 3.5-liter V6 engines that have very similar efficiency (with the Murano getting slightly better highway efficiency). There are a few luxury features that show up on the RX 350, but nothing to warrant the price premium over the Murano. In fact, the RX 350 doesn’t even come with standard forward collision avoidance whereas the Murano does.
Not to mention, the Murano gives you way more room on the interior. To start with, you get 8 extra cubic-feet of passenger room. With the rear row of seats up, the Murano gives you up to 32.1 cubic-feet of cargo room whereas the RX 350 gives you 16 cubic-feet. Things only get better for the Murano if you fold down that second row allowing the Murano to provide over twice the cargo room of the RX 350.
