2021 Murano vs. 2021 Equinox in Owensboro, KY
2021 Murano vs. 2021 Equinox
If you are looking for a reliable vehicle that delivers on space, performance, and style, then it sounds like you’re looking for a mid-size crossover SUV. This class of vehicles is one of the most common examples you see on the road, and two of the best models in the bunch are the 2021 Nissan Murano and the 2021 Chevy Equinox.
The 2021 Murano is one example of why we carry Nissan at Don Moore Nissan in Owensboro, KY. Nissan is an excellent brand to showcase the technology and durability people associate with Japanese auto manufacturing. The 2021 Murano comes out of a history in automobile excellence. It beats the 2021 Chevy Equinox at every turn—it has a nicer interior, a better drive, and a safer experience.
Interior Comparison
It feels almost unfair to compare the interiors of the 2021 Murano and the 2021 Equinox. The 2021 Murano offers more space to passengers and more space for stowing items. The 2021 Nissan Murano can even come outfitted with exquisite materials. Soft leather plush seats and dark-finish wood details are all available in the 2021 Murano.
Even the rear-seat passengers get better care of in the 2021 Murano. On top of having more space to stretch out, a reclining second-row bench with cushions is also available in the 2021 Murano.
Additionally, NissanConnect infotainment computer is much more intuitive than Chevrolet’s MyLink. The touch screen is larger unless you pay to upgrade your Equinox touch screen to be as large as the Murano’s. A larger touch screen makes controlling the Murano’s standard Android Auto, Apple CarPlay®, built-in navigation, built-in weather, built-in traffic updates, and SiriusXM easier. It feels necessary to mention that all of those features are standard features in the 2021 Murano because only the first two come in every version of the 2021 Equinox. While both cars have USB connectivity, the 2021 Murano offers both USB-A and USB-C ports for an added touch of modernity.
Performance Comparison
While you have options in the 2021 Equinox, the one engine packaged in all 2021 Murano’s is more powerful than the Equinox’s engines. The 2021 Murano comes with a 3.5-liter V6 that outputs 260 horsepower. In the 2021 Equinox, you can have either a 170-horsepower 1.5-liter or a 252-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The continuously variable transmission in the 2021 Murano also makes for smoother shifting than the six-speed automatic transmission in the 2021 Equinox.
The 2021 Murano is simply more powerful and handles curves well. On long road trips, you will be driving in absolute bliss. The car’s suspension handles road inconsistencies with ease, and the steering is extremely responsive.
Safety Features Comparison
When looking at cars, safety is one of the essential categories to judge. While both cars come standard with features like automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist, only the Murano comes standard with rear cross traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, and driver drowsiness monitoring. The Murano is also available with a helpful traffic sign recognition feature that the Equinox does not offer.
