Rent Nissan Murano 2021 in Dubai

Couples and small families who care more about a quiet, cushioned drive than rows of seats tend to settle on this car fast, and we deliver the Nissan Murano 2021 anywhere in Dubai with the no-deposit option, so nothing gets blocked on your card at handover. It's a five-seat midsize SUV built around comfort: deep front seats, a soft ride over Dubai's broken patches and bumps, and a cabin that stays calm at highway speed. What this page sorts out is the real question with a Murano. The space and the engine suit some renters perfectly and leave others wishing they'd sized up, and we'll be straight about which group you're in.

What the Murano is good at

The appeal here is the seats and the ride, not sharp handling or hauling capacity. The front chairs are wide and well-padded, the kind you notice on a run out to Abu Dhabi or back from the airport at midnight. The 3.5-litre V6 is tuned for smoothness rather than urgency, paired with a CVT automatic that prefers a relaxed throttle. Press it hard and it drones; drive it the way it wants to be driven and it's one of the more soothing SUVs in this size and price.

On Sheikh Zayed Road it cruises without fuss and overtakes when you plan ahead. It is not a quick car off the line, and it leans in fast corners, so anyone after a sporty drive should look elsewhere. For long, flat highway distance and unhurried city errands, the Murano is in its element.

Specs that matter for the rental

Does your luggage fit

Yes, comfortably, and this is where the Murano earns its keep against smaller five-seaters. The boot behind the rear seats swallows roughly 880 litres, which in real terms is two or three large suitcases plus a couple of soft bags. A family of four heading off for a week, or two couples splitting an airport run, won't be playing luggage Tetris. Drop the rear seats and you have a flat load floor near 1,840 litres for bulky stuff like strollers or sports gear.

The catch is people, not bags. There is no third row. Five belts, five seats, that's the limit. If you're six adults or a family with three kids who each need their own seat, this isn't your car, and we'll point you at a proper seven-seater instead.

Fuel, heat and the daily reality

The V6 likes a drink. Plan on roughly 10 litres per 100km in mixed Dubai driving, and more in heavy summer traffic with the AC working hard. On a 72-litre tank you'll realistically get somewhere around 600 km of real-world city and highway use before the gauge gets serious, so most renters fill up once, maybe twice, across a week. It takes standard petrol, which keeps top-ups simple.

Heat is the real test of any car here. Park a Murano in open sun and the cabin bakes, but the front vents pull it back down quickly once you're moving, usually within a few minutes on a 45-degree afternoon. There are rear vents too, which matters if you've got kids or passengers in the back on a school run or a long drive. It's a big cabin to cool, so give it a moment before you expect the back row to feel it.

Parking, bumps and Dubai roads

At just under 4.9 metres long and 1.9 wide, the Murano is a midsize SUV, not a compact, so it needs a bit of thought in tight spots. It slots into standard mall and tower bays fine, but a snug Marina multi-storey bay or a tight U-turn asks for care. The reversing camera and sensors help. With 175 mm of ground clearance it clears Dubai's aggressive speed bumps and mall ramps without scraping, though it's a road SUV on front-wheel drive, not a dune machine, so keep it on tarmac and graded tracks.

A few Dubai rules to keep in mind. Salik tolls are billed to you as the renter, and any RTA fines during your rental pass to you as well. Seat belts are required in every seat, and children under four need a proper child seat, which we can fit on request.

Who should rent it, and who shouldn't

Rent the Murano if you're a couple or a small family who values a plush, quiet ride and big comfortable seats, and you want generous boot space for airport runs and weekend trips. For relaxed highway cruising and easy city driving, it's one of the most comfortable SUVs you can book at this level.

Size up to a seven-seater like a Pathfinder or a Patrol if you regularly carry more than five people. Pick a sharper crossover if you want responsive handling or proper off-road ability, since the Murano is soft, front-driven, and built for calm rather than thrill. But if comfort is what you're after for your week in Dubai, this is an easy car to recommend, and we'll have it at your door in one to two hours.
