- Nissan has created a new Murano package for 2021. The Special Edition really hits on value bringing tons big features and tech. On the outside you will find fog lights, unique wheels, and panoramic sunroof. On the inside you will be greeted to faux lather, 360 degree camera, and safety tech. Under the hood is a 3.5L V6 producing 260HP & mated to a CVT. Is the NEW 2021 Nissan Murano Special Edition a good SUV to buy?

I got to tell you. I had one of these and now I have a Lincoln Mkx 3.7 and the murano was quieter, more comfortable and more powerful.
Thanks for sharing that input from your experience!
No way! My sister has a 2017 Murano and I always wanted an MKX. I currently have an 08 Edge.

Joe: let’s go check out the cargo area.
*doesn’t check out the cargo area*
The “REAL SIN” is Nissan is putting that GD transmission in some of the top end Infinity vehicles!
I know right!
AGREED!
@@josh0050 Tell me about it!
Would wait for a Murano without the CVT.
2022 qx60 NO c.v.t...nissan is finally beginning to walk away from the continuous variable transmission. Also check out the 2022 pathfinder no c.v.t.
“It’s so special, they call it SPECIAL EDITION…” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Murano WAS the first CUV to have the “floating roof” design. Love my 2019 Murano SL.
Lexus Rx : hold my joint
Hows that cvt holding up?😂😂😂
you sure do have a lot of cars, don’t you? 🤔🧐
@@Ecuador006 Lexus copied Nissan.
@@charlesdawkins4341 pretty good. I’ve had mine almost 3 yrs and it’s holding up well.
10 years ago muranos were everywhere, now I think the rogue replaced many owners muranos for rogues instead
Tell me about it!
The Murano has consistently sold between 50k-80k since 2003. The Rogue hasn't interrupted this fact.
@@trent7080 oh wow!
@@trent7080 80k for nissan murano? only crazy person would pay that money for that CVT junk, even 50K is already a lot
Murano had a 5 year head start. I can't say I ever saw them everywhere in So Cal. The Rouge is much lower priced, not too small, looks good, and the high numbers on the road are a direct result. It has also received more redesigns as a result.
Just traded in my 2018. Great SUV, does everything great. Definitely a love or hate it look. Smooth as silk to drive.
I like how you review the door panels first each time. It's a trademark feature of a Raiti's Rides review. Keep up the great work bro! 👌
Thanks man fore saying that and letting me share my car passion with you!
Couldn't find anything " Special" about this Murano...time for the 4th gen 😂
I feel your pain!
@@RaitisRides lol it doesn't pain me at all the Murano is meh to me
I really love that Murano, but I definitely don't regret getting my 2021 Bronco that I got thanks to your review brother Raiti. You and Lauren have a blessed rest of y'all's week. Thank you for the great and awesome content.
That is so awesome man! Congrats on your Bronco and thanks for letting me bring this to you!
Everytime I watch your reviews I have to get a snack it's like watching a weekly sitcom I love your reviews they are out of this world always laughing even if I don't want the car I am not looking for a car because you already sold me on the Mazda CX-9 SUV great work🤣👍
Always saw this as a baller-on-a-budget Lexus RX… at night these look like a luxury brand vehicle at first glance
Just bought a 2021 Special edition… absolutely love it!
Just bought a 2023 Murano and it seems like the CVT has had some tweaking done as performance is pretty darn good. One thing we have to remember though is that this is an SUV and the performance is just as good if not better than most SUVs except of course the higher end performance brands.
It’s an SUV not a sports car.
One of the reasons I chose the Murano was that it has great style and body lines that makes it look so much better than all the other “box on wheels” SUVs.
The Murano styling was way ahead of the rest when it first came out and it still looks great today.
Honestly I am only here for Joe’s jokes and sarcasm😂😂
One year ago today!!! Still my dream SUV!
14:36 " lets check out the cargo area "
proceeds to him driving
😂😂😂
Had a 2014 with 175,000 no issues with the CVT. Completed transmission fluid change at 80k. Traded it in for a bronco sport.
Thank you Joe. Appreciate it. My wife loves it!!!! Again thank you for doing this review.
Great video! I have been driving a loaded 2015 Murano SL for about six years. Except for the CVT I have no complaints. Nice SUV and it has been super reliable for me. I am interested to see what a redesign brings to the Murano. I would definitely consider buying another one. I would like a blackout edition best!
They’ve already had a midnight edition in 2018
I enjoy this car, so smooth and elegant ride even with rough streets. Best I’ve had yet. And beautiful midsize design. Great review 🎉
I have a 2015 SV AWD Murano. I look forward to buying a new one. Best car/SUV I have ever owned. I drive in lots of snow and rain. I take long trips with it. Great gas mileage on long hauls. Comfortable, good tech. Never had issue with mechanics. Only brakes, oil changes and tires.. 125k Miles and she runs like new. Great power in a V6. No issue with the CVT. Highly recommend. I hope they re-design it for 2023. Love your reviews.
Love this review. So informative. Thank you so much.
Have a 2014 Murano convertible and get so compliments on it. I absolutely love it🥰🥰🥰🥰
Doug says otherwise.
I had no idea, That Nissan still sells this model. Thanks for the update Joe.
I know right!
Awesome review, had a 2009, loved it. Looking forward to a revamp! Could you mention drag coefficient of some of the vehicles you do. Love the technology in today’s vehicles!
I bought this and absolutely love it! Only 2 things, when driving and the sun hits the top edge of the hood, blinding! The console door is annoying that it doesn’t open very far. Again, I love this vehicle!!!!
I actually love the Murano… my mom owns a 2014 SL and the CVT is pretty snappy!
Me too
Having all three generations of Murano and love them all. Looking forward for z53!
Joe, great job as always!! Wondering when we can expect your review on the brand new GV70? I just saw the Sport Prestige model and fell in love. Considering buying it but but need your feedback as I am deciding between an X3 M40 and the GV70. Thanks and keep up the great work.
My boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true and funny 😄😆🤣good 💯
Great Job Lori and Joe Awesome 🙏🙏
I own two Muranos, a 2012 and a 2016. I absolutely love them. Beautiful vehicles.
Did you have issues with the cvt
@@edanchak2387 Nope
I’m glad Nissan is looking at the Nissan Murano I hope they redesign to the Murano be great. Put more black around the screen not sliver. I like the Altima and Murano but get rid of the CVT transmission don’t need it put a 7 speed or 8 speed or 9 speed and maybe a redesign of the Key Fob. You will be good again Nissan love you Nissan 🥰. Huge fan of Raiti’s Rides 😁❤️, great job Lori keep up the good camera work ❤️❤️.
I had 2007 murano and loved it ! Never liked this current style.
Maybe when they redesign it. Thanks Joe and Lori !!
We want that model y performance review 😉 thanks for the hard work!
I have a 2020 platium awd and love it. CVT transmission is for a retired person who do not care about going fast out of a bend or turn. That's why I like a murano since 2003 the 3.5 engine is proven to be bullet proof. Nissan put this engine in most of it's vehicles for years! For me, it's not about how fast the car can go, no not at all, it's all about going from from point A to point B in comfort, and that's all what the cars was invented for.
HEY 👋 another great car review video 📹 on this NISSAN MAURANO. I actually like the MAURANO 's but never got one because of the size I prefer a larger SUV. However I would like to see what the 4th Generation of this vehicle would look like. Thank you as always for bringing these car review videos to us great job.
What’s a Maurano? 😂
Great review thank you
Mr. Raiti, Great videos as usual, but where do you get your nice Watch Collection from?
A redesign or replacement for the Murano can't come soon enough!!! But with this Special Edition it's a decent last hurrah for it. Kudos to Nissan for taking on a full line up renaissance!!! Thanks to you and Lori for bringing us these awesome reviews man!!! #RaitisRides #600kSubsHereWeCome #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesForDays #OnThrottleAgain #LoriGotAngles #CameraQueen #Zonkmeister #OnThrottleAllOverThePlace #IfYoureReadyImReady #Nissan #Murano #SpecialEdition
Is it me or did we miss the cargo space? Great review still !
I have a 2022 sv midnight edition. I love it and I don’t mind the CVT. I haven’t had an issue with the transmission thus far
Great review 👍
Did they embargo the cargo space?
I like how Nissan is rebranding stepping their game up in a good way I think the new rogue and pathfinder will do well but the way in the rogue use to get a 50 on consumer reports. The 21 got a 76. Their doing better if the new pathfinder does well five years from now it might be my next car
very nice car love your reviews!
I am so glad that you are digging this one.
This SUV looks sporty Joe I would drive it are they going to redesign or refresh the Nissan Altima
Joe I have been trying to put my elbows together and make that V like you did for the last half hour. It might take me a few days but I am going to do it.
Ditch the CVT and the V6 for a turbo four and maintain or improve MPG’s and performance. Thanks for the review Joe. Nice job. Special shout out to the camera queen on her birthday! 🥳 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
You are the best Larry!
I get the CVT but ditching their award winning engine for a buzzy 4-banger?
Nissan needs to mate their 9 speed auto in all V6 engines, like the new Pathfinder. Not to mention, getting rid of their CVT in general.
Just got 2021 two weeks ago in black. With black interior . I love it. I do agree that the chrome in the dark gray chrome would look more sporty. The only other thing i would have liked to have is the trunk pull inside. Just seem like a kinda petty leave out in special edition. Dont need the kick release. So i dont miss it. Thanks. Beauty is in the eye.
Congrats!
Should’ve waited for a redesign. Anyways, enjoy your 2021 Murano.
@@AUA-camChannelwithNoName i know, but was in a crunch. Probably will upgrade in a couple of years if i like the redesign. Thanks.
Don't know much about CVTs but found it ok in the Altima 2.5 because of its seemless shifts that can reflect good and smooth driving experience, may be people having doubts about CVTs durability and little roaring sound coming out when you like to be on throttle like our super Joe !!
I would not buy a vehicle with a “GOD DAM CVT”
I know it is ridiculous
I feel your pain!
@@josh0050 Same here!
All CVTs weren't created equal. JATCO (Nissan) tranny's are seen by most mechanics as absolute junk.
If MPG is a high priority, than a CVT makes more sense. Honda CVTs are really quite good. We have 3 CVT cars, 2 Honda, 1 Lexus. No issues, great MPGs.
@@islandon22 its just the jatco your right.
15:45 nothing like an “on throttle” I’m front of a speed limit sign lol
Yes Joe, I would buy this... I need to get my license to make that happen!
I actually like Nissan as well , liked the Murano , but I think the new pathfinder coming out stole my heart ❤️.. lol
The 2015 was the first model year for this generation. Looking forward to the next generation.
U can press camera button while going forward under 5mph it will show the 360 and camera while driving forward
I bought my '16 Maxima new. I now have 101,000 miles. Not one issue with it. Not one. Still pulls like a train. Check out the 30-50 & 50-70 passing times on Car & Driver; not many can keep up in that price category. The CVT in the MAX is different because it is (was) their flagship vehicle.
And in the Max it’s geared for sport so it rushes to redline. But you’re right, after 30-40, this thing flys
@@JokerG16 Yes!!! Finally-someone understands.
Wife owned a Murano 7 years ago, was good value for the price but lacked many things competition had at the time. The 2021 does a good job in the segment but it doesn't look much different from ours 7 years ago exterior
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one from your experience!
How are you Joe? MURANO TIME!!!
My friend have a 2021 Murano SL. And it is nice
For that kind of money, I'd go turbo CX-5 with more torque and Nappa seating. Love that panoramic roof, though.
Hey Joe what would you prefer Rogue Murano or Pathfinder please let me know
I am going Pathfinder all day long.
The new pathfinder is showing what Nissan is REALLY capable of technology wise and driving experience wise
@@RaitisRides ok I completely agree with you Nissan is really stepping up there game
Lmao “ no navigation, but you do have this clock” funniest thing I heard in a while! This car is just a no go! I’m sorry Nissan
I laughed at the same.
Nissan could have done alot more with that one for sure, but it will be higher than 40k. CVT ain't my cup of tea 😭. Well done joe, keep em coming 👍
Really hoping the nexr gen has the 290hp zf 9 speed that the 2022 armada gets as well making the infotainment angled toward the driver
The moment you mentioned cvt, that was my queue
🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️
Murano is smoooooth....love everything
Big ZONK on the hood opening and the 2 vacuum cleaners on the back. Joe comes through again 😂 👌
Thanks for the letting me bring it all to you!
I don't see the hate surrounding this murano other then the CVT. I have had a couple 15-20 model nissans and I did have issues with one CVT at 70k but the style of the murano looks good, obv a refresh is needed but it's still a pretty good looking cuv/suv whatever it's called
I love the murano my grandma is going to get the armada or the murano
It's 2022 how is there still a CVT gearbox in cars today ?
Hey Joe you don't like fingerprints on gloss black lol why does Nissan put gloss black on the front end with bugs, stone chips ect? It'll never look as nice as when you first get it
NISSAN.....CVT.....RUN! Had one murano crapped on me....the cvt transmission, let me stranded in the middle of the highway
I feel your pain!
Why Oh Why CVT??? Did they Improve the CVT design and function for better reliability for the 2021 CVT??
Love the MURANO, Got to have updated interiors and engine
When will the murano redisign ???
Came for a car review and gained knowledge on how to read an analog clock....
Win Win!!!!
I love the Murano as Nissan lineup definitely now. I hope the Murano gets a new design, delete the CVT add 9spd transmission as new beautiful Pathfinder. See Nissan is stepping up their game hope they do changes with the Maxima same too add 9 speed automatic and AWD this time. The previous Murano is still nice aging well just time for a major design as the Pathfinder.
picked up a 2022 sv silver my secong one
I would buy this buuuut.... My husband just bought it for me 🥰 I love it
EDIT: I absolutely love having the stick again I wasn't a fan on the weird placement of the buttons on my GMC Terrain
Is it difficult to change the foot brake to an electronic brake?
Yes
I love my cvt in my Maxima.
i remember back in 2015, all my girl friends in high school got these, and i thought they were super nice! its funny now its a little outdated LOL.
Love the design nice interior
I am glad that I can share this one with you!
5 years with our 2016 Murano and I have yet to get used to the CVT transmission. It kind of lunges the vehicle forward if you step on the gas a certain way. I'd much rather have a traditional automatic. The horror stories from owners of older models with the CVT are also of concern, but so far so good. A vehicle of that size should have more front legroom. I'm 6' 2" and feel a little cramped.
Cvt in general you don't need to hit the gas hard from the go unlike automatic where you know if you wanna truly go, you can go but then the cvt wins in gas mileage department.
Hey Joe when are you planning on reviewing the Tesla Model S Plaid. Amazing car!
Great review Joe! I think you were hungry during this review. Slim Jim's, ihop pancakes, twinkys, and skittles 😂
I feel okay 👌 with the cvt , yeah buddy 🤟🏼👍🏻 I know you fell okay with the cvt 😆😁😄🤣😂😃😅
I like the pre facelift daytime running lights better, these look weird in person
I like the cvt transmission but I don't like that it breaks so if nissan guaranteed free transmission swaps everytime transmissions broke I'd love the cvt
If they get rid of that CVT In the Murano and the Maxima at least In certain trim levels of the two cars they're sell percentages would go up because they're attracting a new audience to what the cars consit of,In my opinion.
I got a pearl white 2006 Nissan Murano S V6 3.5 CVT with 357.8564,85 miles and still going strong 🦾
It was a dealbreaker as soon as you said it comes with the troublesome Jatco CVT transmission. And what’s up with the manual foot brake?!?!?!
Give it up for Joe for powering through this review! He seemed so bored with this vehicle. Unfortunately, I feel the same way. I used to love Nissans, but they just aren't the same. BTW, if you want this vehicle, just shell out the extra few thousand for the Platinum trim. Much nicer interior and extra tech. Not a quick SUV, but it is beautiful and the ride quality was nice when I rode in it last year.
It’s outdated obviously but I hope for the next generation model they add that 9 speed automatic that’s in the pathfinder and give the car a similar interior from the pathfinder. This would be a good seller for them
I wonder if these still use the JATCO CVTs
Yep
5 years with my 2016 Altima. The CVT is smooth, and has consistent acceleration but other than that it's lifeless, jerky, and unpredictable. I agree it's time for Nissan to ditch the CVT
