CarGurus Analysis: 2021 Nissan Murano
overall

Summary
With 1,186 currently listed for sale and an average price of $19,580, 31.6% of 2021 Nissan Murano models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Nissan Murano 4.67 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.83 / 10.
72.8% of 2021 Murano models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Nissan Murano stands out by taking a different approach from many midsize SUVs: instead of adding a third row, it focuses on two rows of comfortable seating. That makes it appealing to buyers who want a roomy, easygoing crossover rather than maximum passenger capacity. It also carries a long-running presence in the segment, having been introduced in 2002 as a 2003 model and reaching its third generation for the 2015 model year. Last refreshed for 2019, the Murano carries into 2021 largely unchanged, but it does gain some additional standard safety features.
What makes the 2021 Murano especially attractive is its comfort and user-friendly character. The available test-drive notes point to comfortable seating, easy-to-use technology, and standard advanced safety features as key strengths. At the same time, it is not without drawbacks: the transmission can be irritating, and cargo space is limited. Even so, the Murano remains a solid midsize SUV choice for shoppers who value comfort and a straightforward driving experience over maximum utility.

Is the 2021 Nissan Murano a good car?
Yes — the 2021 Nissan Murano earns a 4.67/5 user rating and a 7.83/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.
Owners consistently praise its comfortable driving experience, stylish design, and strong performance. They also like the useful features and the sense that it feels well equipped for everyday use.
The trade-offs are that the transmission can be irritating and cargo space is limited. That matters most if you want a more practical family hauler rather than a comfort-first two-row SUV.
For you, the Murano makes the most sense if you value a relaxed commute, road-trip comfort, and an upscale feel more than maximum utility. With 31.6% of listings marked as good or great deals, the market still offers some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2021 Nissan Murano reliable?
Owners rate it 4.67/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels dependable, comfortable, and easy to live with over time. That kind of praise usually matters most when you want a used SUV you can count on for daily driving without a lot of drama.
The expert evaluation also emphasizes a comfort-first ride and refined driving manners, which supports the idea that the Murano is built for steady, predictable use. The five-year/60,000-mile warranty adds some ownership reassurance, especially if you are comparing it with older used SUVs.
For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a well-kept example can still be let down by wear-related issues if maintenance history is weak.
What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Nissan Murano?
At 72.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the price looks unusually attractive. Focus on signs of prior bodywork, uneven panel gaps, tire wear, and anything that suggests the SUV has been used hard or repaired poorly.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The base S includes 18-inch alloy wheels, manual front seats, dual-zone climate control, four USB ports, push-button start, remote keyless entry, satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Higher trims add power-adjustable front seats, adaptive cruise control, remote start, fog lights, leather trim, heated seats, ambient lighting, a Bose stereo, navigation, a panoramic moonroof, and ventilated front seats, so the base trim is the one with the biggest feature gaps.
- Powertrain: You get a 3.5-liter V6 with 260 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque, paired with a CVT and either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It delivers strong low-speed acceleration and a comfort-first ride, but the CVT can dull response at higher speeds.
- Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard, with reverse automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, and driver drowsiness monitoring. A surround-view parking monitor, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and front-and-rear parking sensors still require stepping up.
- Infotainment: The standard setup is an 8-inch touchscreen with a sensible menu layout, hard buttons and dials, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and OTA capability not mentioned in the source data.
- Fuel efficiency: Both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions return 20 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined.
Which 2021 Nissan Murano trim should I buy?
The 2021 Nissan Murano is offered in 4 trim levels: S, SV, SL, and Platinum.
Here's the short version:
- S: This is the value play if you want the Murano’s core comfort and tech without paying for extras. You still get the 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and the standard safety suite, so it covers the essentials well.
- SV: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds power-adjustable front seats, adaptive cruise control, remote start, fog lights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and heated side mirrors without jumping all the way to the luxury-oriented upper trims.
- SL: Choose this if you want a more upscale cabin, since it adds leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, ambient lighting, a Bose premium stereo, and navigation.
- Platinum: This is the pick if you want the most premium Murano experience, with a dual-panel panoramic moonroof, semi-aniline premium leather with Prima-Tex protection, dark wood accents, and ventilated front seats.
Safety Shield 360 is standard across the lineup, but features like the surround-view parking monitor and adaptive cruise control still require moving up from the base trim.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Nissan Murano?
This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,214 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 11.79% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 72.9% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $19,653.05, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Nissan Murano's resale value?
The current average of $19,640 sits slightly below last year's $22,265.
That drop suggests the Murano has become more affordable for used buyers, but it also means sellers may need to price carefully to stay competitive. If you are planning to resell later, the current market shows that value has softened, so condition and trim choice will matter more than ever.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.67/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2021 Nissan Murano safe?
It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.
The Murano comes with Nissan Safety Shield 360, which includes reverse automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, and driver drowsiness monitoring.
That is a strong standard safety list for the class, but some helpful features still cost extra, including a surround-view parking monitor, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and front-and-rear parking sensors. For you, that means the Murano is well equipped out of the gate, but the most advanced convenience and parking aids are not standard.
Should I buy a 2021 Nissan Murano or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 31.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 72.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 11.79% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.67/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
- It carries over largely unchanged while adding some additional standard safety features.
Consider the 2020 if:
- At $17,768, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $19,640 average.
- It offers a plush, upmarket feel with a comfort-first ride.
The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced choice, the 2021 is the stronger pick because it combines solid owner satisfaction, standard safety upgrades, and a softer price trend. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2020 is the better value path, especially if you find one in excellent condition and do not mind its older-feeling tech.
