I'm debating about whether I want to purchase a 6 cylinder suv. With the high inflation, etc. I'm concerned about moving away from my current 4 cylinder vehicle. How is the gas mileage in the 2019 and up Murano? Are folks getting the sticker MPG? I've looked at the Rogue from the same years but I really like the styling of the Murano. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

We traded our 2016 Murano Platinum on a 2021 Murano Platinum on September 13, 2024 in advance of taking a long road trip in October. We loved our 2016 but wanted a newer model with Android Auto and other safety features. We drove nearly 3800 miles from Colorado through New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, and back to Colorado, all on 10 days. Most Interstate highway traffic was driving above posted limits, so I tried to keep up without matching the crazy traffic. I added up all our receipts which calculated to 28.7 MPG. This included about 300 miles westbound on I-70 in Kansas against a strong headwind, I couldn't be happier with this car!
I have a 2018 Murano since new with 51k miles on it. Average mileage over every mile, every tank, has been 24.42. My DD previous to this was a 5-speed 2009 Subaru Forester that got almost exactly the same mpg.
My wife is driving a 2017 Forester withe a CVT that averages about 27 mpg. I have a bad back, since I was 14, and the Murano seats are worth this kind of gas milesage cost to me.

Do the math... If you are comparing a 30mpg car against a 25mpg car and you drive 1000 miles per month, then that is 33 gallons or 40 gallons. At today's prices of fuel average around $3/gal, you are looking at a difference of $20 to $22 per month. Double those numbers if your drive 2000 miles per month. If that amount of money per month is important to you, then you probably have bigger decisions than the actual fuel mileage of your car. The difference in depreciation or insurance costs per month will be much larger than the difference in fuel costs.

My 2021 AWD is getting 26.7 mixed, was getting 23-24 mixed over the winter months, and when new the onboard computer claimed I was getting 36, which I highly doubt was accurate. I've only used 87 octane since new.
Murano definitely consumes more fuel than a Rogue but the extra comfort and power are well worth it. You won't regret it.

That's almost exactly what I'm getting. 33.5 mpg on the highway for 550 miles this weekend. Right at 22 mpg in the city. Very good for a big car.

The AWD Murano has increased weight of about 150 lbs. due to the extra components, so that will also take down your MPG compared to a FWD-only model. The AWD is also likely to create more strain/drag on things due to the transfer case, and especially during times when the rear differential is engaged (such as when driving in snow) so that will also impact your MPG.
I doubt the projected MPG for either model reflects anything other than optimal road conditions with AWD disengaged.

Just bought my 2020 platinum and I am very pleased with gad mileage!! We've gotten 32 hwy, and also average about 22-24 city
My wife wanted a Rouge, because of the gas mileage, but I take a Husky (size) and pressed for the Murano. The 2018 says it's average is 27MPG. Bought a 2020 and it says 25 MPG. Thought it was because it was mostly city driving. Did a road trip and it showed the same MPG at 70 + as 30MPG or better. Strangely the estimated miles on a full tank never gets above 460, while the 2018 frequently says over 500. Still testing.

I think mine read 510 once, but it usually ranges from 440-480 after filling up.

The MPG calculations on this 2021 AWD are really becoming vastly inconsistent recently, which could factor into the 1000 RPM rumble-vibration problem.
The highest full tank projection I recall seeing was about 510. Now, with less than 3/4 of a tank I'm often seeing 480-522, and that's with colder outside temps and the rumble happening and my MPG showing 26.0 instead of the typical 26.8 over the past couple of months. The average speed during the results is still the same as always, and I'm not suddenly coasting down long hills for miles that might account for the results. If anything, I've been getting on the gas more for various reasons. It doesn't make any sense.
