The 2015 Nissan Murano is a mid-size crossover you may want to drive, even if you don't have kids or dogs in back. Sutherlin Nissan of Orlando, FL has this surprisingly premium feeling vehicle in stock now, and we're nearby if you live in Kissimmee or Oak Ridge.

The 2015 Ford Edge is also an attractive crossover, but it just falls a little short of the Nissan in just about every category you compare.

Murano Fuel Economy vs. Edge Fuel Economy

Just because you want the look and feel of a premium vehicle, that doesn't mean you are made of money. The Nissan Murano is EPA rated at 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway, the Ford Edge is not all that far off with 20 mpg city and beats it on the highway with 30 mpg. But, the turbocharged motors in the Edge require more expensive premium gas while the Murano's V6 drinks regular. When you figure that into it, the Murano will cost less in gas, even if it drinks slightly more.

Power and Performance

Part of the Murano's premium feel is its power to get out in front when you need it. The Ford Edge has a turbo 2.0 liter 4 cylinder with 245hp, compared to the Murano's V6 with 260hp. The Nissan's continuously variable transmission, combined with its slight power advantage make it nearly a full second faster than he Edge in 0-60 mph tests.

Nissan Murano Standard Features Compared to Ford Edge Standard Features

Nissan doesn't fool around, they packed even the base model Murano with the latest tech and convenience features. Some of the items that you don't get standard in the Edge include:

• Turn signal in mirrors
• Automatic dual-zone climate control
• Proximity key
• Remote start
• Satellite radio
• Curb courtesy lights
• Illuminated glove box
• Speed-sensitive steering
