Performance

  • The standard Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive on every Forester model gives drivers peace of mind that comes with the capability to handle the toughest road and weather conditions. The Murano requires a significant investment to get to a trim with available AWD - almost ten thousand dollars more for less capable performance.
  • While the Murano does deliver more power with its larger engine, it is significantly less fuel-efficient with only 20 city and 28 highway mpg. While the Forester delivers an impressive 26 city and 33 highway mpg.
  • When it comes to taking the road less traveled the Subaru Forester leaves the Murano behind with X-Mode, Hill Descent Control, Active Torque Vectoring, Vehicle Dynamics Control, and Traction Control System. The Murano doesn't offer a similar off-road performance feature to X-Mode.
 
 
 

   

Safety

  • With a longstanding streak of IIHS Top Safety Pick ratings, the Forester has a solid legacy of incredible safety, and with the upgraded EyeSight® system drivers get even more autonomous safety features for even more peace of mind.
  • While the Nisan Murano offers New Haven drivers with many advanced safety features most of them aren't standard, like Adaptive Cruise Control. But the Subaru Forester comes standard with EyeSight Driver Assist Technology that includes Adaptive Cruise Control among other features.
  • The Subaru Forester also has more safety features than the Murano, many of which aren't offered on the Murano. Like Rear Seat Reminder, LED Steering Responsive Headlights, Automatic Collision Notification and Stolen Vehicle Recovery.

 

Comfort

  • The Subaru Forester offers more front leg and headroom than the Murano, as well as more passenger volume, making the Forester a more comfortable experience for driver and passengers.
  • Wallingford will find more luxury amenities inside the forester, like premium Saddle Brown upholstery, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, and the latest multimedia system with 4G LTE Wi-Fi. All of which makes the Forester the undisputed better value along with a lower overall cost.
