2022 Volvo V60 vs. 2022 Nissan Murano

The Volvo V60 and the Nissan Murano are excellent choices for a midsize luxury SUV. They both offer a comfortable ride, plenty of features, and superior performance. However, the Volvo V60 edges out the Nissan Murano in critical areas. The Volvo V60 offers a greater level of luxury and refinement, along with a slightly higher level of performance. It can be considered the better all-around option because it's more practical while offering many of the same features like the Nissan Murano. To see which vehicle is better, you need to look at all aspects of both vehicles to see what each one has to offer and see what makes them a winner in your eyes.

Design & Style

• Exterior Design

While both cars have sleek bodies and long bonnets, it is complicated to answer which one has an impressive exterior design. The front grille of both cars looks similar, but it is also easy to differentiate them from each other due to some visual cues placed on their grilles and their headlights. The important thing is that both cars look similar from sides, but with a little bit of customization on wheels, you can easily differentiate them from each other. You will find a lot of changes in their bumpers, though, for example, the 2022 Nissan Murano comes with a larger grille and new fog lights, while the 2022 Volvo V60 boasts unique vented visors instead of fog lights and also double exhaust pipes at rear bumper which make its appearance very stunning in black color.

• Interior Design

The Nissan is wider than Subaru and boasts a bigger backseat with more space for legs and feet. The front seat legroom is also slightly better, although it's not much of a difference. Both have about 40 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row, which is enough for a family trip or your weekly grocery run. It's hard to go wrong with either vehicle when it comes to comfort and convenience options like leather seats, Bluetooth connectivity, sunroof, heated seats, navigation system, touch screen display, and hands-free phone connection in both vehicles provide you with a feeling of luxury that doesn't really exist anymore in other class cars at that price range.

Technology & Safety

The largest differentiator for most families, aside from fuel economy and seating, is technology and safety features. Most notably, these vehicles come with cutting-edge connectivity between them, allowing you to control many functions remotely or pair your smartphone to integrate it into key systems like navigation and audio/video entertainment options. The 2022 Volvo V60 has a slight edge here as it comes with one of the most powerful infotainment centers available on any vehicle today - Sensus Connect Touch. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but its integration capabilities paired with user-friendly software design make it incredibly easy to use in a wide variety of settings, be it commuting to work or taking a road trip with friends or family members.

Performance

The engine of 2022 Volvo V60 2.0L I-4 Engine produces 313 @ 6,000 hp, which is 25 hp more than that of its competitor. In addition, it also has a bigger torque that enables you to drive faster and push harder at higher speeds with less strain on your engine. The engine of the 2022 Nissan Murano has a better performance compared to that of the 2022 Volvo V60 due to its more powerful acceleration and more responsive pick-up speed. 

The Bottom Line

The Volvo V60 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a new car in 2022. It offers excellent features and performance while also being stylish and comfortable. The Nissan Murano is also a good car, but the Volvo V60 beats it in several ways. The Volvo V60 has better fuel economy, more passenger space, and a more luxurious interior. It's also cheaper than the Murano, making it the better value for your money.
