"  Track Performance: B+ Road Performance: C+ Ease of Use: A Comfort and Roominess: B When it comes to state-of-the-art infotainment packages, the Nissan Murano leads the pack. This spacious SUV is practically a media center on wheels, with handy extras like a remote control and headphones for back-seat entertainment. But you&amp;#039;ll certainly pay a price for all those bells and whistles; it&amp;#039;s the most expensive crossover we tested and starts with the highest base price. Driving Experience The Murano performed fairly well on the Car &amp;amp;amp; Driver track, accelerating smoothly, quickly, and quietly. In general, road noise is kept to a minimum whether idling or revving the engine, thanks to its unique transmission. The Murano turned in an average performance when it came to braking distance and ability to hold the road during sharp turns. We were less happy when we took the Murano out on the road. The SUV&amp;#039;s thick rear pillars and small back windows really cut into visibility. Our test vehicle came with a backup camera, which helped us get out of tight spaces. The Murano has plenty of power, but its large V6 engine is only rated for a disappointing 20 miles to the gallon, fairly low among crossovers. However, we loved this sporty vehicle&amp;#039;s tight steering and great handling. The car is smooth over bumps too. Infotainment &amp;amp;amp; Controls When it came to ease of use, the Murano truly shined. The SUV&amp;#039;s media setup, build-in navigation, and phone pairing all performed well in GHRI tests., And Nissan takes in-car entertainment a step further, including two pairs of headphones and a remote for use when the car is parked. The navigation system is clear and easy to follow, with both visual and audio prompts and we were particularly impressed with the steering wheel controls; their logical, simple, and ergonomic layout made it easy to concentrate on the road instead of having to hunt for the right button. The climate controls let us fine-tune the temperature on each side of the car, and the weather-sensing wipers were a nice extra. Interior &amp;amp;amp; Design You get a lot of car for your money, but that might have been a downside with the Murano. In our minds, it actually felt closer in size to a small SUV than a crossover. That said, the cushy front seats offered plenty of legroom and the trunk offered plenty of space. A handy pull cord makes it easy to fold down the rear seats for even more storage. The back seats were another story; the headrests didn&amp;#039;t offer any intermediate settings, and the seats weren&amp;#039;t contoured, making the second row a bit uncomfortable, particularly for tall passengers. In general we thought it was difficult to find a position that offered the car-like comfort most crossovers achieve.
