    The Murano, a mainstay of Nissan's lineup since 2003, is a midsize SUV with seating up to 5. Exceeding the average MPG (miles per gallon) for its class, it reduces fuel costs and the carbon footprint. It handles mud, snow, and sand with ease with optional all-wheel drive (AWD). Nissan offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2023 Nissan Murano is above average compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2023 Nissan Murano has a score of 84, implying a 0.037% chance of driver death (3.3% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2023 Nissan Murano has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0373% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 4.2631%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0373% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 4.2631% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2023 Nissan Murano is 20% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2023 Nissan Murano is 8% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Nissan's Safety Shield 360 active safety features can protect loved ones by reducing accident severity and preventing accidents. All trims and versions of the 2023 Nissan Murano include the following active safety systems: Automatic Emergency Braking w/ Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning, and Blind Spot Warning.

    Another vehicle feature may make a vehicle safer, even if not at the forefront of technological advances. Standard side mirror turn signals alert others of your intention to turn or switch lanes allowing them to react accordingly, which can prevent accidents caused by not seeing a vehicle in the blind spot.

    And it is less safe than many comparable cars.
