You say Nissan toned down the Murano? That's literally the most radical design they have other than the Maxima. You said you liked the interior of the Murano better, it gets better gas mileage, and it has more rear leg room, but yet you choose the ford? Hmm.
+Vikk 54 Have u been in these 2 vehicles b4, I dare U drive the Edge and Murano back to back and say which is better, see the Murano has a CVT, however good it may get its not as good as a regular 6 speed AT, the ford gives 1 way better control and refined driving experience with its 6 speed Then comes the rear seats, its not outright better in Murano, its just probably 1-1.5 inch larger in legroom and head room that its Murano get 0.75 mpg better, I will always give that for that awesome low end torque of Edge, murano cant even touch Ford when it comes to suspension tuning, the Edge has an integral rear link suspension at the back as supposed to multi links of Murano which just keeps off the Edge from bouncing at 90+ mph speeds,also it feels firmer damped while Murano feels like a boat at hi speeds interior fit finish refinement etc of Ford is on par with Murano, its just that Murano has a Japanese flare and style to it, Forda little bit mundane like in a VW And get the Ford EDGE Sport and U wont see a Murano even in rear view mirror, its holly crap fast, I mean EDge TT v6 is 4450 pounds, but I did 0-60 in 5.4s, hell no Murano is that fast and yet while cruising at 50 mpg was showing 28 mpg, the 2.0 turbo Edge is around 220 pounds heavier than Murano as well, its a rock solid vehicle
+Ponygt 662 ah, we have a ford fanboy here. I don't have to drive them back to back. I choose the Murano. Like I said, it's styled better, has a more premium interior, is more comfortable, and as for the 6 speed auto, it's outdated. Automakers are using 8 speeds or CVT's now. I could sit here and argue with you, but you're clearly stuck on Ford. Enjoy them. What does Ford stand for again? Ah. Found On Road Dead. I've had fords. I can tell you that's a very true statement.
Vikk 54 For each his own, I was not a Ford guy until I owned one, I used ro drive Hondas, and they are shits compared to Fords when it comes to power,handling,grip,fun to drive nature, etc etc... I drive a Fiesta ST now, but One f ma friend at Iowa was stuckn with this same confusion Murano vs Edge, and since I am a car enthusiast he invited me for a test drive, wr took 4 days to decide, becaue looks wise interior and e. Atterior its plane personal preferance, if U like Murano I agree, I for one am a fan of sportier designs so not a huge fan of how both look,specially Murano which I feel is over designed. Regarding interior I still say the Ford has a super hi quality interior,its built tuff too,but again its personal preferance, I liked Edges interior better as well because I felt it to b more neat and better ergonomic to my habits of AC positions,volume positions etc...and quality wise again Ford is just probably a smidge less inspiring but never like a day nd night difference. And I say again Edge is more comfy nside,that is where I can make a firm statement,at lower speeds Edge feels a tad more stiffer than Murano, but post 30-40 mph therr is no comparison Edge has less tire,wind,road,engine noise,and the damping is excellent, Murano is good but Edge definitelt is better,surface changes,expansion joints nothing jolts the Edge while Murano can get unsettled at speeds excess of 60 itself, and above 90 mph there s no comparison Edge is way way better than Murano. Again sure 6 speed is old but it gives better drive control,I know the downshift and up shift points,its easier to predict and overtake, while the CVT we drove at times raised rpm but the car didnt feel like its moving with the speed it shud as opposed to noise it made, Also hi speed overtakes is big NO No in Murano, the engine needs to spin way avove 4500 rpm to make some meaningful power, Edge felt like a Diesel, any speed any rpm,smash thottle there is Power,just like my old Civic, And the Found on road dead is an age old pre 2008 Ford nik name, Ford has grown way above it now, its easily more reliable than even Hyundais mechanically, only issues affecting Fords are MyFord touch thats it,rest all sre too insignificant compared to how much they sell Again just check Murano vs Edge sales ,U ll find that Murano is way poor and there s a reason for it, not everybody in USA,Canada r fools,they kno wat they r buyimg, if a car aint teust worthy and bad it wont sell, And why I like Ford Because they ve performance cars from fwd,rwd,awd,super car,super truck,... Chek any stream they have it, Nissan lives or dies on that GTR thats it, I was a Honda guy since 2012, and although people say Honda is great, I hated it for its boring styling,boring drive,boring boring boring everything, drove a Focus ST in 2012 and it opened my eyes, I was shocked that a fwd car cud b this good, then waited 1 year for ,reliability and it was uber strong, no major issues at all, bought Fiesta ST by 2013,done 25k kms with it so far,not even a single nut has given me trouble in the ST and no Nissan or Honda shit drives like ma ST does, from 2012 on only I became a Ford guy, so ur shitty point is age old crap, Welcome to 21st century Japanese fanboy
I drove both cars. Was blown away by how expensive the Ford drives. So smooth and quite. Feels like a premium vehicle while the Nissan has an interior that looks stylish.
I agree. The Edge outsells the Murano 2-1 for its ride quality and wider unisex appeal. The Murano is largely only driven by women or men who are comfortable in their masculinity.
Ford Edge is available with a wider selection of trim and engine options than the Murano, including the Sport with the 315 HP 2.7L EcoBoost which I guarantee you is far more fun to drive than the Murano.
+Mvk Mvk thats old talk, my family owns 3 newer gens and drive way better than my nissan. no issues. had to replace my AC at 20k on my 2015 nissan though
I leased the a '15 Murano Platinum a few months back. At the time I was deciding between the Ford Edge and the Murano. Now I feel it was one of the best decisions I ever made. It seems the "Auto Guide" narrator forgot to mention the NASA inspired zero gravity seats that are included with the Murano. By far this has been the most comfortable vehicle that I have EVER drove PERIOD! The Murano is often ridiculed because of the over-styled exterior. Personally I don't think it's over-styled...I think it's done just right. The New Murano is a very beautiful and classy vehicle. As far as the design of the Ford Edge, it has basically looked the same since in was introduced back in 06-'07. Also, the Edge is assembled in Canada while the Murano is assembled in Canton Mississippi, U.S.A. I might actually keep this thing at lease end- either that or lease a new Murano when the time comes. We'll see.
The Murano Platinum in Pacific Sunset is like my favorite vehicle right now. The Cashmere interior alone is reason enough to buy it. Most hotels aren't that suave!
I've driven them both and the Murano is just a head turner out there and so damn comfortable to be in, This is a serious contender for my family car later this year.
hahahaha he said the murano is a head turner hahahahahahaha omg. Everytime I see one I am like "Who would buy that ugly ass suv" The edge is literally x2 sexier outside.
From my experience, the Nissan Murano is not built for short people. I stand at 5' tall. Because of the pitch of the seat, it felt like it was cutting off the circulation to my lower legs, and I felt like I was looking through the steering wheel instead of over it. I know I could have raised the seat to accommodate a better view of the road, but then I had to tip tow the gas and brake peddles. My husband is 6'4" and loved the vehicle. I have not driven a Ford Edge, so I don't know if it is any better. Currently I drive a Nissan Armada. The plus on that vehicle is the adjustable peddles making it so that I don't have to sit too close to the steering wheel.
We just purchased a 2016 Black Edge Sport and we love it. We were looking at the Murano but found out that only pulls 1500 lbs; while the Edge pulls 3500 lbs and has similar space as our Explorer that we traded it for. That is what made the deal for us!
Both of these crossover's are pretty good. In all honesty I would take the Murano Platinum over the Edge Titanium. However I ended up buying a 2015 Edge Sport. I avg about 19.3 mpg and it's actually pretty fun to drive.
Have you seen the difference nowadays in the price between regular and premium gasoline?! Saying the Edge does better in gas mileage with the turbo with premium gasoline should then be regulated with the significant price difference, which then totally negates the mileage advantage... Give me the Murano
I just turned 18 last month, 2 years ago I bough my first car, a 2009 Nissan Murano. I feel in love with it and I promised myself that one day I would buy a new Nissan Murano but one day me and my family traveled to Mexico and in our way back we flied to San Diego (we live in the north of CA) so we rented a car to drive home (like 9 hours) the car rental company could not find a car with enough space to fit all our baggage (4 big and 4 small) until they found a Ford edge, it incredibly fit perfect. In that moment, I fell in love with it, me and my sister helped my dad to drive and it was amazing, powerful, comfortable and just great in general. Since that I now have a debate about buying a Nissan Murano or a Ford Edge.
I have a 2010 Murano SL, two wheel dr. It has to be more comfy than any other car I have owned. 45k now and no probs at all. 22 MPG all around town and almost 30 on the interstate. I'm gonna drive this thing until the wheels fall off.
I bought the Edge because I don't like CVT, too much rpms to get moving down the road. We have a second car a Maximum with a regular auto trans and has been a good car for 18 years. So nothing against Nissan just CVT.
Where do you film? Some nice looking shots of both vehicles. I'm considering a Ford Edge. I'd like to support Oakville but it's a steep price tag for me. Your video is helping push me to a yes.
Wtf, Nissan Murano is obviously the better choice. I like the Ford Edge, don't get me wrong. Murano is just well put together overall for a not so expensive tag.
Chasing between these two would be hard. I don't like CVTs but in the Maxima (similar drivetrain) you don't notice the CVT much because of all that torque. Consumer Reports gushed on and on about the magic ride and handling balance of the Edge and other reviews haven't been as enthusiastic about the Murano handling but a lot can depend on trim and tire package differences. Two nice vehicles.
Comparing these two, I'd definitely have to go with the Nissan Murano, mainly because it's more fun-to-drive, more stylish, lower-priced, and also gets better fuel economy.
+Ponygt 662 Really???? Go drive a Ford edge before thinking anything Japanese is good???? That's some deep seeded hate right there. While I am the first to admit that I am a Nissan fan, I do respect and appreciate other brands. If that's what Steven James DeBlasi likes then that should be his choice. I've owned two Fords, and although I know that they have improved and now make really great cars I will never buy another Ford. Oh and guess what, I drive a 2011 Nissan Altima with the 2.5 liter four cylinder and it's Japanese, and it's good!
Edge sport gets to 60 mph (100kmh) in 5.3 seconds and for the 2.0 ecoboost about 6.8 seconds but the Murano is like 7.8 something idk but the 2.7 litre engine is a game changer
so, nissan is more fuel efficiency, better leg room, cheaper price, better interior, and more safety, and chose the ford......lmfao.....super make sense
Puff the Magic Dragon Well, my 2010 Nissan Murano is still driving great and I've had zero major repairs done to it. Only things I've done to it is oil change and just got new tires. My 2004 Nissan Frontier is also still driving great and also has had zero major repairs done to it. The most expensive repair I've had done was a leaky head gasket and just had to replace the hoses 2 years ago. I think the head gasket was $250 - $300 while all the hoses was $300. So roughly $600 other than regular oil changes and tires. Oh, my 2004 Frontier just hit 300K while my Murano 52K.
idk where you live but the 2.0L is not even close to 46K. lol where you live must suck ass. here you can get that for just around 32K. the sport edge fully loaded brand new is 45K and we all know it has the 2.7L ecoboost twin turbo with 315hp and 350 lb ft tq 0-60 in 5.6. the 2.0L don't come with much of shit. the sport even has better traction. anti roll bars stiffer suspension and independent suspension.
Ive always wonder which car brands have the best reliability about solid build. Something that DRIVE ME NUTS is when a car, after about 80,000 miles, start making noises in the cabin like squeaking, cracking and rattling, making it feel cheap and poorly build...
37K USD can also buy a mid trim 2016 Honda Pilot which has a better, smoother and more powerful V6 and better ride height. The more expensive 2.7L Sport Edge is the only one worth considering if you are willing to shell out that that kind of money, starting at 41K USD.
Great review, but the Murano's interior appointments, construction, and textures are better than the Edge's. Not to say that the Edge's interior is bad, I just think the Murano's is better.
Jamie Martinello both amazing cars inside out but if I was going to buy between them nissan i would go cuz it even looks more expensive I think the murano is one of nissan top best designed cars
I have a 2009 Ford Edge SE fwd that i payed roughly 24K new. Cloth seats, no backup cameras or special console. I don't understand why these vehicles keep going up and up in price. 45k for a 2.0 turbo that sucks premium gas! Your better off buying used.
From a mechanics point of view, I would say that Nissans CVT transmission is the bane of their existence. But if you mean that mechanics love it because they get to make all kinds of money constantly replacing the units, then I suppose you’re right.
@@rogerweller1266 i went through dozen of nissan vehicles for personal use. I dont keep cars more than 3 years tho (not lease) and not one broke breaching 70-100k miles. I guess im lucky or just take care of them cause of my own bodyshop 🤷🏼♂️ but i meant it as all inclusive sentence. Nissans way easier to work on, they offer way more for the price than any other none luxury brand, parts are easy to come across and just overall good cars. But yea cvt would be its only weak point based on everyone complains
I m confused the murano suppose to be quieter per caranddriver instrument test. Murano measured 62.5 decibels on 70mph which is even quieter than a Mercedes S series! The Ford Edge measured 69 decibels on 70 mph. Thats a huge difference! This guy needs his ears checked!!!!
Is it possible to make these videos without saying redundant things like "these are still just crossovers"? No one is comparing a crossover to a car! These are two totally different markets. If some idiot buys an SUV and gets disappointed by the not so sharp handling of a sedan, he will be an exception and well deserving of that disappointment. So please, don't waste our time in every video saying that these are crossovers after all.
My take away is the Nissan has better interior styling and the drivetrain/engine works better together than the Ford (surprising as its a CTV). On the other hand, the Ford's interior is OK but un-inspiring and its exterior design is more refined. While a good review, I'd be inclined (if I was shopping this segment) to look at Acura, Toyota or GM.
+Tully3674 Drive the Edge b4 makin ur decision, I too was a man who thot Ford is crap, not at all the Edge is actually best premium SUV from a major brand I ve test driven in that price bracket, more so with the Edge SPort ttv6
Tbh my family owns both an Edge Limited (2014) and a Nissan Murano Cross (2011) . With that being said each of these new models are basically mechanically the same thing., ( minus minor upgrades I.e. The updated CVT.. ) with ride quality the edge overall is a MUCH more compliant ride., with the Murano the suspension is much more "jumpy" to say the least on turns if you hit a bump you with feel it throughout the whole body. Performance wise the Muranos CVT offers almost immediate power when passing the 6-speed in the edge takes a few moments to pick the right gear to get you going., which can be annoying at times I might add. With build quality both are nicely put together . But I would have to give he Murano the win with that because the materials are JUST the much better .. Overall I am happy with both our purchases our edge still gets stares it's a limited with the chrome wheels etc. and with the top down the Murano drops jaws all the time lol. But this is my personal opinion .,
actually the 2016 edge is a completely new design compared to the 2014. Its not just a cosmetic update. It rides on an entirely different chassis and platform.
Daniel Blaney The new EDge is based on Ford CD4 platform that spawns the Fusion/Mondeo, An extension of the CD4 platform is Fords ABB platform that spawns the new Lincoln Continental and Chinese Ford Taurus
+Sal D'Agostino Someone could like it because style is objective, the general consensus of the Marano's style though is positive, otherwise it wouldn't be selling as well as it does. Do you remember the Pontiac Aztek? That thing was ridiculously ugly, and it eventually got discontinued due to slow sales, but as ugly as it was some people still liked it.
Murano all day all night, the classic v6 with the CTV, and high quality interior and quiet cabin, and the cooled seats is insane, the 360 is great, and the comfort of the seats in the front and back is awesome
For my money, I'd take the Murano over the Edge any day. For one, Ford has always been known to provide crappy reliability. Now I know Nissans haven't been known to provide very good reliability either but my family has owned and rented Ford vehicles before and we've always had some kind of problem with the engine. Second, I much prefer a V6 over a 4-Cylinder. I don't give a crap how powerful Fords 4-Cylinder Engine is; it just doesn't give you that level of refinement that a V6 does. And in my opinion, the 4-Cylinder Engine definitely sounds much crappier when starting up compared to a V6. And Third, I much prefer the looks of the Murano over the Edge. It just seems sleeker in my opinion but looks are more of a personal thing. The only reason that I would see why not to buy the Murano is because of the CVT. Don't get me wrong, Nissan has come a long way in making their CVT's as refined and smooth as possible, but it really does suck the fun out of driving
+Isaiah Baculpo I agree with most of what you said, but I disagree when it comes to the cvt. I own a 2011 Altima 2.5 s, and the fun and effortlessness comes in for me on the highway, when passing or accelerating it pulls quickly compared to a conventional transmission that has to downshift into a passing gear. And I'm not a slow driver and love to pass people who like to poke around so it's definitely a plus for me.
+Steven Singleton From your experience with your Altima, how do you think it stacks up against other rivals with their CVT Transmissions? I've heard that Nissan makes good CVT Transmissions, but Honda makes even their CVT's even better due to their dedication in making the vehicle seem as if your driving a traditional automatic
Isaiah Baculpo The Edge has 3 engine options, two of which are V6's. One is a 3.5L naturally aspirated and a 2.7L Twin Turbo V6 in the Edge Sport. The 2.7L is amazingly quick for an SUV, much faster than a murano.
long ho Well Nissan's do smoke other brands, after all my Nissan smoked when it blew up. Nissan's are much less reliable than fords, literally every mechanic I've talked to agrees.
If the people at Nissan had any sense, they should be hella' concerned that a Ford is even in the same quality ballpark as a Nissan. It's a sign of just how far Nissan's quality has fallen. I have 155,000 (trouble-free) miles and counting on a Nissan CVT transmission however, I don't know that I'd risk another one. Conversely, I think Ford uses some of the worst paint and/or paint processes in the auto industry. I see way too many late-model Fords that have rust on them. Toyota (Lexus) & Honda (Acura) are where it's at.
You guys always seem to pick the wrong one. We tried both and there was really no comparison and picked up the Murano Platinum. We've now had it for a year and it's been bulletproof and we LOVE it. Go for the Nissan, folks
You should have looked at the Edge Sport with the 6cyl twin turbo ecoboost. Way better than the Edge Platinum and Murano. A better suspension, better ride, quiet, 21" wheels and has 315HP to blow the doors off any Nissan. All around a better vehicle.
I've driven both. While the Edge is smooth and powerful, I just prefer the Murano. More stylish. Offers a lot more bang for your buck. I feel a little more safer, and it's so comfortable. I had an Escape before I dove into the Murano. Escape had soooo many recalls. Murano hands down.
Murano has more hp in the V6 vs the edge's2. 0turbo. Style is subjective but murano is much more striking andnappealing imo. Murano is more powerful and gets better mpg in AWD. Somurano wins the somparison. Refinement? Murwno has thenmorenpremium interior and unbeatable smoothness whilencruising. Again taking thenwin is the Murano--the safer, more fuel efficient, dnd more engaging driving experience. Nothing the edge has can match the tech and conveince os nissan's surround view cam
This guy is basically a hater on Nissan products. You can clearly see first Nissan Murano have a better look in styling inside and out and the best of all, it cheaper and quality is better.
You don’t know nothing, first of all the edge is cheaply made, I had one, and it has worst fuel economy and I had transmissions problem with that so shut up
