Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Nissan Murano than in the Toyota Corolla Cross. The Toyota Corolla Cross 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
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Nissan Murano, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Toyota Corolla Cross.

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 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota Corolla Cross, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan Murano is much wider than the Toyota Corolla Cross, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Nissan Murano, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Toyota Corolla Cross.

Handling
The Nissan Murano has a larger turning radius than the Toyota Corolla Cross, 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 Toyota Corolla Cross, since they have about the same towing capacity. When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan Murano greatly out-muscles the Toyota Corolla Cross.

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 Toyota Corolla Cross.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Nissan Murano and the Toyota Corolla Cross.
