Mitsubishi Outlander vs Nissan Murano

[alwayz_yummy]

wala lang, may friend kasi ako tinatanong ako...kaya please vote and post comments po kung anu piliin nya...papakita ko to sa kanya,e...

so far alam ko mas loaded ata ang murano than sa outie.....at naka cvt pa ang murano...

if suggest ng "other", post what model and why....

The Murano occupies a higher class bracket than the Outlander. A Murano is currently Php2.780M.

It's funny how the Murano doesn't come with front foglamps at that price. At least it has a rear foglamp. hehehe.

Baka paatras talaga ang takbo nun. :D

2.7M? That's already Pajero territory.

I go for the Outlander.

And the Pajero is a rough tough SUV with a low range, skid plates, and a third row to boot.

But the Murano should drive better than the Pajero. However, it still has another stiff competitor, the also-car-based Hyundai Veracruz, which packs more features (about the only thing not there is a sunroof) at a lower price. How the market will respond to the unavailability of a V6 Veracruz is still unknown. Buyers at this segment are not exactly fuel misers.

Kung performance + more affordability, Outie ako. If you have the dough and want some prestige and exclusivity, siyempre Murano. But if I'll spend 2.78m+, I'll just add some more and go for a nice European sedan, like the 320d.

[O!lman]

Kung may mag-reregalo sa akin...Murano syempre pipiliin ko! hehehe

The "new" Pajero isn't really an off-road special... it's a unibody vehicle like the Murano. In my experience, it's actually a decently sporty drive (for a big truck). The Murano is reputed to be set-up just on the soft side, which would actually make the Pajero the better drive.

In terms of segment... Pajero-Murano-Pilot-Veracruz are all in there.

I'd like the pick the Veracruz (because it has the biggest shtonker of a diesel), but I honestly haven't sampled it, so I can't say.

The Outie? Smaller... less seats. It's a decent car... except there's too much plastic on the doors! :lol: But then again, I'm starting to hate the interior trim of Japanese vehicles... the CR-V's interior handle is cheap plastic, too, and the RAV4 door isn't much better.

Personally, I prefer the Outlander to the Murano... but that's just me... I don't need the extra size or space of the Murano.

Murano ako. Mas mahal nga lang .

[Syuryuken]

sa 2.7M? pwede ang Prado, Pajero, Veracruz

[washburn]

murano na unique ka pa!
outie power decent pero maliit, sulit naman sa features
others ko veracruz! power overwhelming

[oldblue]

gusto ko yun mga bago suv bodies ngaun like yan Murano saka yun Ford Edge and yun Mazda

Murano was one of my choices before I decided to get the Pajero. The higher ground clearance, bigger cargo room, and higher resale & easy to sell in the future made me choose the Pajero.

Between the Murano and Outlander, it's a tough choice for me. The Outlander (GLS Sport) have more extra features (safety, entertainment, etc.) than the Murano. The Outlander have 2WD/4WD/Lock as againts Murano's AWD. And I don't need the extra power of the Murano's 3.5V6, the Outtie's 3.0V6 is sufficient for me. The things that will make me choose the Murano is it's status symbol and its being rare in the road which will make it a head turner even a few years after. But with the tought that if I get the Outlander, I will have an extra 1M in my pocket for my other hobbies, new business venture, or for travel, mapapaisip ka talaga

(about the only thing not there is a sunroof)

Sunroof is standard equipment sa RP-spec Veracruz 3.0 Diesel.

I think that aside from Hyundai-Kia Group newest diesel engine with S-CRDI and E-VGT technologies, the RP-spec Veracruz has everything na meron sa INTERNATIONAL SPEC lineup for this model.

Siguro, wala lang yung cruise control.....pero you can request from HARI to add it sa VC mo (dagdag ka nalang ng 84k pesos). Also, you can request to change interior trim to PIANO BLACK and ALL-BLACK LEATHER SEATS FOR FREE (no additional charge). You can also request for Silver-Gray leather or Beige Leather at no cost as well with respective dashboard trim (a total of four interior colour options).

You can download the INTERNATIONAL SPEC brochure ng Hyundai Veracruz in this website:
http://worldwide.hyundai-motor.com/d...e/Veracruz.pdf

This covers all specs and options for the Veracruz worldwide (except sa Korea which is the home market and they get more goodies).

Anyhow, on to my real post.

Between Murano 3.5 AWD and Outlander GLS Sport, it's really a neck-and-neck decision IMHO.

Here's what I think:
-Design: Murano no doubt (esp. in black paint)
-Features: Outlander GLS Sport siguro
-Drivetrain: Panalo pa rin ang ALL-MODE 4WD/AWD system ng Nissan Murano
-Engine: Seems to slightly favor the VQ (kahit lumang version ang gamit niya)
-Fuel Economy: dunno; slightly similar (factors of weight and horsepower incl.)
-Sound system: In terms of RAW PMPO, the Rockford Fosgate beats the BOSE
-Pricing: siyempre Mitsubishi Outlander GLS Sport by all means
-Transmission: Invecs II (o kahit Invecs III) CAN NOT beat Nissan Xtronic CVT
-Storage options: Siguro Outlander GLS Sport (from what I've seen and heard)

Well so far that's that. However, even with this. They appear to be even or perhaps it's just an apples to oranges comparo. They both excel in their respective strengths and lose out on their respective weaknesses.

In short, check your preferences.......but trust me though when I say that you will NEVER GO WRONG with either vehicle

Hey bro, almost in all aspects lamang ang murano... its a 350z suv for pete's sake. Kaya nga u might notice the price difference. It kinda belong to a higher bracket that is targeting a much higher market. The on ly prob. is hindi sya "... mura no?" coz mahal talaga sya.

[niky]

350Z engine... but the transmission and suspension are kinda a letdown if that's what you're expecting... the Infiniti FX35 is the real "Z on stilts".

Then again, not many trucks within the 3 million peso range are truly "sporty" in the sports car sense... some actually do handle well, though.

practicality - Mitsu

looks and a head-turner / burn money- Nissan
