Infiniti FX vs Nissan Murano: Comfort Challenge!
We are pretty sure that people are aware that Infiniti and Nissan are related; Infiniti is simply the luxury version of Nissan. Just like Lincoln is the upscale version of Kansas City Ford vehicles, a lot of auto brands will be associated and you won’t even know it. But we are curious how their similar vehicles really compare. Looking at the Nissan Murano versus the Infiniti FX, it really does come down to personal preference and how much you are willing to spend. While Nissan’s prices rival those found at Boston Hyundai, the Infiniti line up costs quite a bit more up front. This review will focus solely on interior features, but you need to test drive any vehicle before deciding to purchase it. If you are still unable to make a decision, go drive something from Fayetteville Mazda to widen your realm of possibilities.
The 2010 Nissan Murano is available in three different trim levels; S, SL, and LE. All models have an attractive interior cabin with obvious quality infused in the materials. Plus, there are plenty of options so you can customize and upgrade your purchase. Keep in mind that option packages can get pricey. Standard features across the board include dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, leather on the shifter, auxiliary jack, and six-CD changer. The seats are comfortable and leather is standard on the LE, optional on the SL. There aren’t many options available for the base S model. There is tons of storage; 31.6 cubic feet with all the seats in use and 64.0 cubic feet with the backseats folded down.
Cargo storage in the 2010 Infiniti FX isn’t as spacious as some of the competition; 24.8 cubic feet with all seats being used and 62.0 with the backseats folded down. A lot of consumers wish that Infiniti had put more innovative storage compartments rather than focusing so much on gadgets. While everyone loves a luxury car and the convenience features it comes with, some of the control panel items are overwhelming to a lot of drivers. Like the Murano, there are tons of packages available for a price; XM radio, hard drive based navigation, rear seat entertainment, and built in media storage. While the seats are plush and comfortable, fitting three adults in the backseat leaves passengers wishing for more legroom and headroom.
