May 15, 2008

SAFETY | 9 out of 10

Expert Quotes:

Four-star front crash score; five-star side; four-star rollover rating
NHTSA

Top Safety Pick
IIHS

The 2009 Nissan Murano scores well in federal and insurance-industry crash tests, and sports an impressive array of standard safety equipment.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that the 2009 Nissan Murano earns a four-star rating for front crash protection, and a five-star rating for side-impact protection. The agency also gives the Murano a four-star rollover rating. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) ranked the 2009 Nissan Murano a “top safety pick” as it scored a “good” rating in all crash tests and offers standard stability control.

MyRide notes the Murano’s impressive list of standard safety features, such as anti-lock brakes and its available all-wheel-drive system. The Murano also has curtain airbags and standard tire pressure monitors, and Edmunds.com adds that active front head restraints are also standard features.

Cars.com adds that the Murano’s curtain airbags protect the front- and second-row passengers, and “are designed to deploy in the event of a rollover, too.”

Conclusion

The 2009 Nissan Murano’s safety performance is among the best in its class.

Other Choices:

Ford’s Edge is similar in size to the Murano and, like it, comes only with two rows of seating. The same’s true of the Lexus RX 350 and Mazda CX-7, but those crossovers offer distinctly different driving experiences. The Lexus is geared to smooth driving and the industry-leading service provided by its dealers, while Mazda’s CX-7 is a sporty alternative to typical crossovers with tauter handling and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

    Noise levels

    Hi,
    we are looking to buy a new crossover. I'm deaf in the right side and wear a hearing aid in the left. Communication while driving is difficult in our 2001 Rav4 because of road noise. where would i find decibel ratings for crossovers??
    Thx,
    Ron

    The amazing 2009 Murano

    This is my first Nissan (I just sold my Lexus RX300), and I must say that I vastly prefer the Murano. The Murano is quieter, faster, better handling, and cheaper. This car accelerates quickly and smoothly...gets 25mpg on the highway (not yet fully broken in, no less), and looks like a million bucks. In a few years, I'll not doubt trade in for another one. I love it !!
