2014 Nissan Murano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2015 | I nearly ranked the new Nissan Murano's front seats ahead of its styling as reasons to buy one. With form-fitting contours and cushy-yet-supportive construction "inspired by NASA," they're that good. I wasn't able to drive the Murano all day, but felt like I easily could have. The 2015 Ford Edge's driver seat didn't initially strike me as especially comfortable. It felt flatter and less luxurious than that in the Nissan. But over the course of my test drive it seemed to fit and support me better and better. By the end it seemed very comfortable, yet still not quite as good as the Nissan's. The Edge Titanium's seats have a sportier appearance and shape than the SEL's, and might provide more lateral support. see full Nissan Murano review |
