Cited for its outstanding value and critical acclaim, joins prestigious list for second year in a row
For the second year in a row, the Nissan Murano has been named to U.S. News & World Report’s listing of “Best Cars for the Money.” Murano was honored as “Best 2-Row SUV,” one of 23 categories. The awards will be given out later this week during the 2016 Chicago Auto Show.
In choosing the 2016 Murano, the editors stated: “The Nissan Murano’s interior is so upscale, that the fact that it’s a value leader in its class may surprise some people. The passenger cabin wouldn’t look out of place in a luxury SUV, the seats are ridiculously comfortable, and all of the tech features are user-friendly. When you take all of those strengths together, however, it’s not hard to see why the Murano is a winner for both buyers and their budgets.”
The U.S. News & World Report rankings compare cars on the basis of safety, reliability and a consensus of industry experts’ opinions, along with value – which is measured by a combination of a vehicle’s five-year total cost of ownership and the average price paid for the vehicle at the time the awards are published.
“The new Murano has been on an incredible winning streak since we launched the completely redesigned third-generation for 2015,” said Dan Mohnke, vice president, Nissan Chief Marketing Manager & Marketing Operations. “Along with stellar reviews, sales have increased 33 percent in 2015 and another 46 percent already in January 2016.”
