Hip point makes easy entry/egress. Supports my 265 pound frame. Offers enough leg/hip/shoulder room. Seats are heated, which is great in the cold Arctic. Many choices of moving/tilting helps me get a comfortable position at all times whild driving! see full Nissan Murano review |

The power driver seat and tilting/telescopic steer wheel puts you in perfect driving position- I felt that the RAV-4s steering wheel was always too far away. see full Nissan Murano review |

There is plenty of room in the front seat area. It feels open and spacious. Tall drivers might find they would like a little more headroom or the ability to lower the seat another inch. see full Nissan Murano review |

The rear set is large and fairly comfortable with plenty of leg room and easy access. The rear seat backs recline, making them more comfortable for travel. see full Nissan Murano review |

Overall, the seat is too soft. The seatback is completely lacking in lateral support and the cushion is too short with no thigh support. It’s fine for around town driving, but tiring after just an hour of highway travel. The lumbar support is decent, b see full Nissan Murano review |
