TCC’s Bottom Line

It might look like a military vehicle, but the nice interior and excellent fuel economy belie the 2015 GMC Terrain's rugged looks.

The 2015 Nissan Murano lures in empty-nesters with its flamboyant new design, then hooks them with just the right mix of confident performance.

TCC Likes

Very good gas mileage (four-cylinder)
HUMMER-like styling
Improved ride and handling

Head-turning, dramatic exterior
Superb ride quality
Very quiet cabin

TCC Dislikes

A leftover plastic trim bit or two
Looks intense, doesn't it?
Poor rear visibility

Getting active-safety requires the moonroof
No height adjustment for passenger seat
Ride harshness with 20-inch wheels
