Comparison Review

Comfort
The Nissan Murano offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Toyota Venza, with comparable head- and legroom. The Toyota Venza offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Nissan Murano, offering the driver and front passenger a bit more room and comfort.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Nissan Murano as you will with the Toyota Venza, 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 Toyota Venza.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan Murano is much wider than the Toyota Venza, 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 Toyota Venza.

Handling
The Nissan Murano has a larger turning radius than the Toyota Venza, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Nissan Murano has a little more horsepower than the Toyota Venza.

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 Venza.

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 Venza. The Nissan Murano has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Toyota Venza.
