The Land Rover Discovery Sport offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than 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 Land Rover Discovery Sport.

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). The Land Rover Discovery Sport is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan Murano.

Dimensions
Since the Land Rover Discovery Sport is much slimmer than the Nissan Murano, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot.

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

Utility
