Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lincoln Aviator than in the Nissan Murano. The Lincoln Aviator 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
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Lincoln Aviator as you will with the Nissan Murano, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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). The Lincoln Aviator will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Nissan Murano, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Lincoln Aviator is much wider than the Nissan Murano, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Lincoln Aviator, which is slightly longer than the Nissan Murano.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Lincoln Aviator is clearly the choice over the Nissan Murano for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Lincoln Aviator greatly out-muscles the Nissan Murano.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Lincoln Aviator does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Nissan Murano.

Utility
The Lincoln Aviator offers greater seating capacity than the Nissan Murano, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Lincoln Aviator has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Nissan Murano.
