2018 Nissan Murano SL

The Murano is Nissan's mid-size crossover, the one that trades a bit of utility for a sleeker, more upscale look than the Rogue. It drives with a smooth, quiet confidence that makes it feel more like a luxury car than a typical family SUV. Inside, you get a genuinely comfortable cabin with plenty of room for adults in both rows, plus a large cargo area. Just know the rear blind spots are real, so you'll want the available blind-spot monitoring to help cover them. The SL trades the Platinum's heated rear seats and premium audio for a lower price, keeping most of the comfort features that make the Murano feel upscale.
