Comparison Review

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Nissan Murano is a better financial choice over the Porsche Cayenne, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
The Nissan Murano is about the same width as the Porsche Cayenne. When looking at overall length, the Nissan Murano takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Porsche Cayenne.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Porsche Cayenne is clearly the choice over the Nissan Murano for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Nissan Murano has a lot less horsepower than the Porsche Cayenne.

Powertrain
The Nissan Murano has much lower torque than the Porsche Cayenne, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Nissan Murano and the Porsche Cayenne. The Nissan Murano has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Porsche Cayenne.
