Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Honda HR-V than the Nissan Murano. The Honda HR-V will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Nissan Murano.

Convenience
The Nissan Murano requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Honda HR-V, making it more convenient to drive.

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.

Handling
The Honda HR-V has a smaller turning radius than the Nissan Murano, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

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.
