CR-V vs Murano, answered
- Is the Honda CR-V or the Nissan Murano cheaper to lease?
- Across live listings the Honda CR-V starts at $330 per month and the Nissan Murano at $349 — a gap of $19 per month, or about $684 over a 36-month term before drive-off.
- How many Honda CR-V and Nissan Murano lease offers are available?
- LeaseGuru is tracking 19 live Honda CR-V listings and 14 live Nissan Murano listings. Counts change as brokers refresh inventory, so treat any advertised payment as a starting point.
- Are the CR-V and Murano the same class of vehicle?
- Yes — both are classified as a SUV (Small Sport Utility Vehicle), which is why they are compared here. Cargo room, seating, and drivetrain still differ by trim, so confirm the specific configuration behind any advertised payment.
- Which has the lower due at signing, the CR-V or the Murano?
- The lowest published drive-off we see is $3,000 on the Honda CR-V and $1,889 on the Nissan Murano. A lower monthly payment paired with a higher drive-off is often the more expensive lease overall, so compare effective monthly cost rather than the payment alone.
