The Nissan Murano is a bigger SUV, and thus comes with a bigger price tag. A base model Murano starts at $29,740, close to $6,000 more than a base Rogue. However, if you can swing the extra cash, the Murano is an overall better option than the Rogue. The top-ranked Murano is as close as you can get to a luxury vehicle without jumping to an Infiniti, which is Nissanâs luxury brand.
Also, the CVT transmission lacks the manual-shift mode of the previous generation. The Murano sports a new exterior look, including new head and taillights and 18- or 20-inch wheels, along with a new LE trim level that replaces the SE.A revised 3.5-liter V6 engine puts out about 20 more horsepower and is connected to a new Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).he 2009 Nissan Murano keeps the same body shape as the previous generation, but with the addition of some new styling cues.
