Performance

For starters, CX-9 features a shiftable automatic gearbox that’s always a plus point. Murano’s V6 engine delivers 260hp and 240 lb-ft, which is lesser than CX-9’s V6 engine output that delivers 273hp and 270 pound-feet of torque. With its lower torque engine, Murano doesn’t do a great job as CX-9.

Features

The interior is a closer call as neither of SUVs offer much in the way of standard amenities. CX-9 gets built-in Bluetooth support, while Murano gets keyless ignition. Both vehicles offer more expensive trim level and other optional features, but CX-9 is bit more flexible.



If you want spacious interior with lots of cargo space, CX-9 is the better option.

Price

Though Murano is bit cheaper at $29,000, CX-9 is too affordable at $30,000. Both vehicles come with a power-train warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles.

In a nut shell, the superior power on Mazda CX-9 beats Nissan Murano, though just barely.
