Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Honda CR-V than in the Nissan Murano. The Nissan Murano will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Honda CR-V.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Honda CR-V is a better financial choice over the Nissan Murano, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Honda CR-V is much slimmer than the Nissan Murano, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Honda CR-V is slightly shorter than the Nissan Murano, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Honda CR-V will do just as well as the Nissan Murano, since they have about the same towing capacity. When it comes to horsepower, the Honda CR-V has a lot less horsepower than the Nissan Murano.

Powertrain
The Honda CR-V has much lower torque than the Nissan Murano, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Honda CR-V and the Nissan Murano. The Honda CR-V has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Nissan Murano.
