The Volkswagen Tiguan 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
The Nissan Murano requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Volkswagen Tiguan, making it more convenient to drive.
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 Volkswagen Tiguan, which has a much lower MSRP.
Dimensions
Since the Nissan Murano is much wider than the Volkswagen Tiguan, 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 Volkswagen Tiguan.
Handling
The Nissan Murano has a larger turning radius than the Volkswagen Tiguan, 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 Volkswagen Tiguan, since they have about the same towing capacity.
When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan Murano greatly out-muscles the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the Nissan Murano transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Volkswagen Tiguan.
Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Nissan Murano and the Volkswagen Tiguan.
The Nissan Murano has less cargo space than the Volkswagen Tiguan, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
