Safety - What the Auto Press Says
The federal government gives the 2010 Murano scores of four stars for driver and passenger protection in frontal crash tests, and top scores of five stars for front- and rear-seat safety in side impact crash tests. The insurance industry gives it a top rating of "Good" in frontal offset, side impact and rear crash protection tests.
The Murano comes standard with many safety features. These include roof-mounted curtain supplemental air bags for side-impact and rollover head protection, Vehicle Dynamic Control, a Traction Control System, Electronic Brake Force Distribution and Brake Assist.
Though safety is generally good on the Murano, several reviewers mention its blind spots, which hamper rearward visibility. To remedy the issue, Nissan offers a RearView Monitor that comes standard on the LE and optional on the SL as part of the $1,000 Premium Package (it isn't available for the base model).

- "On the downside, over-the-shoulder visibility can be troublesome, not helped by the shapely tapered quarter windows." -- AutoMedia.com
