Murano Fuel Economy vs. Edge Fuel Economy

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.
