With adventure on the horizon and the open road before you, it’s important to bring a few of your closest friends and family for the ride.
Fortunately, both the Nissan Murano and the Acura RDX can seat five adults comfortably.
However, you’ll notice that the Murano offers 108.1 cubic feet of passenger room while the RDX sports 104 cubic feet of the same. Although the difference is small, the Murano offers more rear passenger space. So, your rear-row riders can kick back and relax from sun up to sun down:

Embarking on a road trip with just your spouse? This means you’ll have ample room for any equipment you want to haul. Here’s how much room you’ll have in either model for your camping equipment or the souvenirs you pick up from each state you visit:
With 67 cubic feet of maximum cargo room in the Murano, you’ll be able to store more gear in its cabin than in that of the RDX.
When exploring new locations, the Nissan Murano and the Acura RDX make it easy to stay confident with their intelligent safety suites.
In fact, the RDX is equipped with safety features similar to these systems on the Murano:
Even with intuitive security systems keeping you on your intended path, all road trippers need their rest too. To make sure you’re getting the R&R you need between long treks on the road, the Nissan’s Intelligent Driver Alertness feature can intervene.
Unfortunately, the Acura RDX goes without a similar feature that can notify you when it detects any changes in your driving behavior.
Carpool karaoke, anyone? If you’re ready to belt out some tunes or play the air guitar, the 2022 Nissan Murano and Acura RDX come equipped with impressive infotainment systems
Both the 2022 Murano and RDX share these connectivity features:
In between singing along to your favorite throwback hits, it’s important to keep your loved ones informed regarding your whereabouts. Fortunately, the Murano makes it easy to do so with its Hands-free Text Messaging Assistant—a feature the RDX goes without.
Both models also keep you connected to your route with their available navigation systems. However, the Murano’s available Nissan Door to Door Navigation with Premium Traffic takes it up another level. This system allows you to do the following:
While the Acura has its own available navigation system, it goes without similar amenities that could help you out when spontaneity strikes or you need help finding your vehicle.
Both the 2022 Nissan Murano and Acura RDX are excellent companions for your daily drives or spontaneous road trips. However, thanks to its roomy cabin, additional safety features, and helpful technologies, we believe the Nissan Murano should be your top choice.
