Comparison Review

Comfort
The Honda HR-V offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Nissan Murano, with comparable head- and legroom. 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 HR-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 HR-V is a better financial choice over the Nissan Murano, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Honda HR-V is much slimmer than the Nissan Murano, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Honda HR-V, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Nissan Murano.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Honda HR-V has a lot less horsepower than the Nissan Murano.

Powertrain
The Honda HR-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 HR-V and the Nissan Murano. The Honda HR-V has less cargo space than the Nissan Murano, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
