2022 Ford Explorer vs. 2022 Nissan Murano

If you are looking for a sports utility vehicle that offers a long list of reliable features, you will never go wrong choosing the 2022 Ford Explorer. This ride also has a large cargo hold with spry handling and robust engine options too.

The 2022 Nissan Murano has a strong engine too. Aside from it is one comfortable ride, find out what else it can offer and see if it is better than the Explorer?

Design & Style

The 2022 version of the Ford Explorer measures 198.8 inches long, 78.9 inches wide, and 70.2 inches tall. Numbers for the Murano in the same arrangement are 192.8, 75.4, and 67.4. That makes the Explorer longer, wider, and taller than the Murano. In terms of cargo capacity, the Explorer has 18.2 cubic feet behind the third row but that goes up to 47.9 cubic feet when these back seats are not in use. The Murano only has 32.1 cubic feet of space behind the second row.

The Murano is filled with high-quality materials, a thing that it shares with the Ford Explorer. When it comes to seating capacity, they vary with the Ford accommodating seven, and the Murano gifted with five.

Technology & Safety

The 2022 Ford Explorer has an eight-inch touch screen display for its infotainment system. This is equipped with six speakers, Auto Car Play, Android Auto, and two USB ports, among standard technologies. When it comes to safety, it offers a long list, including the MyKey feature for secondary drivers. It also has blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, and lane keep assist.

In the case of the Nissan Murano 2022 edition, it shares the same touch screen display size as that of the Explorer. This has six speakers too. What makes it less charming than what you see in the Ford is that this one is underwhelming since the setup is already dated. It has the same safety features as the once offered by its rival, except for the MyKey, of course.

Performance

Both getting a rating of 28 mpg for highway driving, the Ford Explorer is more fuel efficient when used in the city as it rates 21 mpg while the Murano only scores 20 mpg. When comparing their outputs, the Ford base engine is capable of handling 300 horsepower of acceleration while the Nissan reaches 260 horsepower only despite having a V6 version for its base trim.

The Bottom Line

While the two rides share that same charming vibe inside, it is apparent that the 2022 Ford Explorer takes up a higher spot in the rankings with all the other aspects considered in the comparison. The 2022 Nissan Murano needs some catching up to do.
