What is the fuel consumption of the Nissan Murano?
2 Answers
The comprehensive fuel consumption of the Nissan Murano is 8.3-8.4L/100km. There are currently 3 models of the Nissan Murano on sale. The fuel consumption of the Elite version is 8.3L/100km, while the Intelligent Luxury version and Intelligent Leading version have a fuel consumption of 8.4L/100km. The above figures are based on the NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption, which is the fuel consumption data measured under the NEDC test procedure. The actual fuel consumption is higher than these values, ranging from 8.6-9.1L/100km. Specific factors affecting a car's fuel consumption are as follows: Vehicle weight: Larger and heavier cars tend to consume more fuel. Generally, a small family car with a 1.6L engine and a weight of around 1.2 tons has a fuel consumption of about 7.5 liters (calculated under full load conditions), while an SUV weighing around 1.5 tons consumes about 8.5 liters. Different weights result in varying fuel consumption. Drag coefficient: Higher drag coefficients increase fuel consumption during driving. Cars with better aerodynamics have lower drag coefficients, leading to lower fuel consumption. Economical RPM: During driving, the engine has an optimal torque output point. Maintaining the car's speed within this torque output range can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Generally, for small-displacement cars, this is around 70 km/h, while for larger-displacement cars, it is about 100 km/h. Staying within this economical RPM range ensures minimal fuel consumption. Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before red lights can increase fuel consumption.
As a frequent driver of the Nissan Murano, I find that the average fuel consumption in the city is around 12-15 kilometers per liter, while on the highway it can reach 15-17 kilometers per liter, depending on the specific year and engine. I drive a 2019 2.5L model, and during daily commutes with heavy traffic, it’s about 13 kilometers per liter—fuel efficiency drops significantly in traffic jams. Many factors affect this, such as using the air conditioning, sudden acceleration, or carrying a full load of passengers, all of which increase fuel consumption. My experience is that gentle driving and maintaining a steady speed between 60-80 kilometers per hour can save a lot of fuel. Another tip is to regularly check tire pressure—if it’s low by even a pound or two, fuel consumption can increase by up to 10%. Additionally, frequent air filter and oil changes can improve efficiency. Overall, the Murano is relatively fuel-efficient for an SUV, but real-world driving tends to be slightly less efficient than the official figures. New drivers shouldn’t forget about maintenance.
