Comparison Review

Comfort
The Land Rover Discovery Sport offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Nissan Murano, with comparable head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Nissan Murano.

Convenience
With the Nissan Murano, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

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). Whether you pick the Land Rover Discovery Sport or the Nissan Murano, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
The Land Rover Discovery Sport is about the same width as the Nissan Murano. If you go with the Land Rover Discovery Sport, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Nissan Murano.

Handling
The Land Rover Discovery Sport has the same turning radius as the Nissan Murano, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Land Rover Discovery Sport is clearly the choice over the Nissan Murano for pulling heavy loads. The Land Rover Discovery Sport has a little less horsepower than the Nissan Murano.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Land Rover Discovery Sport transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Nissan Murano.

Utility
The Land Rover Discovery Sport offers greater seating capacity than the Nissan Murano, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Land Rover Discovery Sport has less cargo space than the Nissan Murano, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
