2024 Nissan Murano vs 2024 Chevrolet Blazer
If you’re all about convenience, then we can already tell you that the new 2024 Nissan Murano is for you. Greater mileage means fewer stops, and getting around the cabin and cargo space has never been easier. The latest Murano also supports a great handful of advanced Intelligent driver-assist features that ease the pressure on long or stressful drives. The Blazer may offer a higher-horsepower engine option, but that alone is not enough to choose it over the Murano which offers a greater overall experience.
Performance
The engineers at Nissan pay close attention to what their drivers need, and that’s what drove the decision to include a 3.5L V6 engine in the Murano. Delivering up to 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque, the latest Murano gives you the power you need without compromising its high fuel rating of 20/28 MPG. Going with the Murano will also grant you Nissan’s exclusive Xtronic CVT system which is famous for its smoothness on the road. Toss in an independent front suspension, multi-link rear suspension, and active brake limited slip differential, you’ll be ready to take on out-of-city terrain when the mood strikes for an epic adventure. For more control from behind the wheel, the available Intelligent AWD system automatically adapts to road conditions without you needing to micro-manage any manual controls. It does this while saving you fuel by switching between 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive as needed.
If you were to go with the 2024 Chevy Blazer, its standard 2.0L Turbo engine will only get you up to 228 horsepower. The only way you would be able to surpass the Murano is by upgrading to the Blazer’s available 3.6L V6 engine with up to 308 horsepower starting at $42,800. For reference, the Murano’s starting price is only $38,740. You would have to decide if 48 more HP is worth an extra $4k, and the answer will most likely be no especially when you see that the Blazer’s mileage is only 19/26 MPG.

Safety Features
Both the Murano and the Blazer come with safety packages featuring 6 standard safety and driver-assist features. However, that doesn’t mean they’re tied in this category. As we mentioned earlier, the new 2024 Nissan Murano offers available “Intelligent” features that make it stand out from the competition, such as:
* Intelligent Forward Collision Warning which can monitor up to two cars ahead of you on the road, warning you if there’s a sudden change in speed in traffic.
* Intelligent Cruise Control that helps you maintain your ideal speed while automatically keeping a set distance from any vehicles ahead of you.
* Intelligent Around View Monitor which offers split-screen views of your front, rear, and sides for confident maneuvering.
As an added touch, you can also opt for a front dash camera in the Murano so you don’t need to buy an unreliable third-party device that leaves cords all around the cabin.

Interior
Coming back to the topic of convenience, Nissan thought of everything when designing the 2024 Murano. Having up to 67 cubic feet of cargo space in the rear is only the beginning. With the available Motion Activated Liftgate, you can make the most use of this storage area without the struggle of manually opening and closing the hatch while your hands are full. Do you share your ride with a partner? You’ll no longer have to spend a few minutes adjusting your seats every single time you switch control thanks to the Memory Seating system that saves your perfect angles. There are also plenty of other amenities that you’ll be happy to have, but one of the unique features that stood out to us is the available Remote Activated Welcome Lighting with Puddle Lights that illuminate the way even during the darkest nights.
The 2024 Blazer is already a setback with a much smaller 64.2 cubic foot cargo area without the presence of a motion-activated liftgate. Dual-zone climate control and active noise cancellation are okay, but they’re nothing special. Even the Blazer’s available 8-speaker Bose audio system isn’t as robust as the Murano’s 11-speaker Bose system despite having sound management capabilities.
Bottom Line
Before you go with whatever brand your friend or family swear by, use the information you learned today to come up with your own smart decision. Chevy may be a household name to some, but there’s no denying the convenience and other outstanding capabilities of the new 2024 Nissan Murano!
