To help you decide between the 2021 Nissan Murano and Nissan Rogue, the team at Watermark Nissan of Marion is putting these vehicles head-to-head. Come see what makes each one so unique.
Refined Driving
Whoever said your family SUV couldn't add some thrill to your daily drives never encountered the 2021 Nissan Murano or Nissan Rogue. These SUVs are armed with well-crafted engines to smooth out your ride as you run errands and take your kids to soccer practice.
The Rogue delights with a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. If you want to take it up a notch though, select the Murano with a 3.5-liter V6 engine generating 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque.
Despite this power difference, the Rogue keeps you on the road longer with an EPA-estimated 27 city an 35 highway MPG.¹ The Murano, on the other hand, is still quite efficient for an SUV, with an EPA-estimated 20 city and 28 highway MPG.²
Ample Space for Your Family

In addition to looking at engine performance, you also need to select an SUV with enough space for you and your little ones. Both the 2021 Nissan Murano and Nissan Rogue have seating for five, but one SUV is slightly larger in terms of driver space:
 | Nissan Murano | Nissan Rogue |
Front Headroom | 39.9 inches | 41.1 inches |
Rear Headroom | 39.8 inches | 39.2 inches |
Front Legroom | 40.5 inches | 43.3 inches |
Rear Legroom | 38.7 inches | 38.5 inches |
In addition to more driver head- and legroom, the Rogue has more cargo room to offer with its maximum 74.1 cubic feet. There's still ample room for your groceries and weekend bags in the Murano though, with a maximum 67 cubic feet of cargo room.
Built to Keep Your Little Ones Protected
The most important factor to consider when choosing a family-friendly SUV is safety. Both the 2021 Nissan Murano and Rogue are designed to keep your clan out of harm's way with the following standard technologies:
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- Rear Automatic Braking
- Bling Spot Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Intelligent Driver Alertness
Clearly, both of these SUVs can keep you protected, but the Rogue goes the extra mile with available ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link. This system maintains a set following speed and distance between your car and the vehicle ahead, stopping and slowing as traffic calls for.
It also works to keep you centered in your lane and even slows your vehicle as curves or your road exist approaches, for a completely simplified highway drive.
