I've got a hybrid. I can't really say if its better to have over a non-hybrid , I've only test drove a non-hybrid once and it was a quick flatter ground test drive. I'm in the PNW and my daily drive has quite a few hills. I've got a heavy foot and average 17-20mpg for daily driving of ~8 miles to and from work. Though that is 5-7 mpg better than my frontier. Will say, that our area has enough hills, that it was actually better to turn OFF the eco mode.
There is a Hybrid Murano? I had no idea. I checked the Canadian Nissan site, they do not list it there either. Is this something like Pathfinder Hybrid where they took it off the marker after a year?
Actually my Nissan Service Manager told me that the leftover parts from the failed Pathfinder Hybrid were used for the short run of 2016 Murano Hybrids.
That's what I heard also. We weren't really in the market for a hybrid, but when we went and test drove a 2017 Murano it was sitting next to a 2016 Murano Hybrid. We weren't exactly ready to buy yet, but between Nissan and the dealer knock offs, we got like $7,000-9,000 off (can't remember exactly). So we jumped on it.
Could be a lot of driver error in there. I've got a bit of a lead foot, when my wife drivers it usually gets better mileage. Then I get in and screw it up. When we test drove a normal one then the hybrid one back to back on the same route, the hybrid got better mileage, but that was just a quick 1 time test drive.
I just wish the display on the dash could be updated, it routinely shows mpg to be 2-4mpg better than it actually is.
Id be hesitant about buying one simply due to the lack of popularity = lack of parts for repairs. If youre looking for a Hybrid, Id probably look for a Rogue. At least those are more common.
