At Patriot Subaru we think that having All-Wheel Drive standard, better mpg, far more standard features, more towing capacity, plus a significantly lower price point gives the advantage to the Outback over the Murano.
• Big difference in handling and feel on the road comes from Subaru's Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive. The Murano S FWD is a 2 wheel, front drive, and costs $2805 more than the Outback 2.5i Premium. If you wanted to upgrade to the Murano S AWD, it is $4405 more than the Outback.
• Total MSRP Outback 2.5i Premium, $27,995, and it's counterpart Murano S FWD, $30,800. If you wanted the Murano S AWD, the total MSRP is $32,400.
• The Outback with optional front crash protection and specific headlights earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus. The Murano did not earn an IIHS Safety Pick this year.
• The Murano is a larger vehicle: 3.1 inches longer, 1.7 inches taller, however the Outback is 5.9 inches wider. We like the wider base for stability and control.
• In front, the Outback has about an inch more headroom, and 2.4 inches more legroom. In the second row, both have the same headroom, Murano with .9 inches more legroom. The Murano has about 1.5 inches more shoulder room.
• Though the Murano has a larger body, both vehicles have 108.1 cubic feet passenger space. The Murano has a bit more cargo space, 39.6 to 35.1 cubic feet.
• Gas mileage. The AWD Outback, delivers 25/32 city/highway, and the Murano is 21/28. The 6 cylinder Murano is going to be less efficient. Interesting - the Murano S FWD is the same as the Murano S AWD, also at 21/28.
• The Outback has a 2.5 liter boxer 4 cylinder engine with Lineartronic 6-Speed Continuously Variable Electronically Controlled Manually Interactive Automatic Transmission With Overdrive, delivering 175hp. The Murano is a 3.5 liter in-line 6 cylinder engine with Xtronic 2-Speed Continuously Variable Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission With Overdrive , delivering 260 hp.
• The Outback has muscle, rated towing capacity of 2700 lbs, almost double Murano at 1500 lbs.
• Standard - Both match up on a list of about 31 standard features. Outback also provides, heated front seats, windshield wiper de-icer, heated exterior mirrors, a roof rack, leather wrap steering wheel, and a cargo area cover.
Please use the Digital Showroom at Patriot Subaru to make comparisons on all makes and models. It is very detailed and a great resource to use.
