Nissan Murano vs. Buick Envision

Which SUV Is More Powerful?

Before you take a deep dive into all the features, you’re going to need to decide if these SUVs offer the power that you’re looking for. The Murano maintains a solid lead when it comes to horsepower, although the Envision offers slightly more torque.

• Nissan Murano: The Murano is the stronger choice between these two options, as it boasts up to 260 horsepower with its strong engine. It has slightly less torque than the Envision, but it remains competitive at 240 lb.-ft. The Murano also features a continuously variable transmission, which can seamlessly ramp up your speed.
• Buick Envision: The Envision is less powerful than the Murano, as it only offers up to 228 horsepower. While it has slightly more torque at 258 lb.-ft., you’ll have to ask yourself if this is a trade that you’re willing to make. This model comes with AWD, but you can choose to equip the Murano with AWD as well.

Which One Is More Spacious?

When you have a large family and cargo that you need to manage, space matters. The Murano is bigger than the Envision in almost every way, so if you’re looking for a roomy SUV that’s responsive and fun to drive, it’s a great choice. If you live near Summit, Natchez, or Monroe, you can try it out for yourself at Natchez Nissan.

• Nissan Murano: The Murano offers 39.9 inches of front headroom, 40.5 inches of front legroom, and 140.2 cubic feet of overall interior volume. Every one of these measurements is bigger than what the Envision offers, so if you need an SUV with a lot of space, it’s a clear winner.
• Buick Envision: The Envision falls short when it comes to cargo space, rear shoulder room, front leg room, front headroom, and more. The only area where it maintains a small lead over the Murano is in rear legroom, but this is only by .6 inches.

A Quick Peak at the Technology on Board

When it comes to technology and safety features, these two models are neck and neck.

• Nissan Murano: The Murano largely shares the same safety systems with the Envision, like a Rear Seat Reminder, Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, and more. It does have Driver Attention Monitoring though, which the Envision doesn’t offer. You’ll also find available features like a Navigation System, a Sunroof, and more.
• Buick Envision: When it comes to useful features, you’ll be able to find things like Android Auto, Adaptive Cruise Control, and more on both of these models. The Murano does have one distinct advantage though, as its Heated Seats come standard.
