Comfort
The Nissan Murano offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Subaru Forester, with comparable head- and legroom.
The Subaru Forester will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has 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 Nissan Murano as you will with the Subaru Forester, 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 Nissan Murano is somewhat more expensive than the Subaru Forester.
Dimensions
Since the Nissan Murano is much wider than the Subaru Forester, 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 Nissan Murano, which is slightly longer than the Subaru Forester.
Handling
The Nissan Murano has a larger turning radius than the Subaru Forester, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance
If you've got something you need to pull, the Nissan Murano will do just as well as the Subaru Forester, since they have about the same towing capacity.
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan Murano greatly out-muscles the Subaru Forester.
Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Nissan Murano does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Subaru Forester.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Nissan Murano and the Subaru Forester.
The Nissan Murano has less cargo space than the Subaru Forester, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
