Comparison Test: Nissan Murano vs Toyota Venza vs Ford Edge

Even with uncertain economic times and crazily fluctuating gas prices, we're going to bet that the crossover SUV is here to stay. They now come in all shapes and sizes, while seating between five and eight passengers. This test concerns the five-passenger midsize group, the one that effectively replaces those truck-based models from the 1990s that launched the SUV craze. These are the bread-and-butter crossovers, but amongst 2009 Nissan Murano, 2009 Toyota Venza V6 and 2009 Ford Edge which one excels in the most areas?

Each vehicle was similarly priced and equipped. The Murano was all-wheel-drive, while the other two were front drivers. We ran each crossover through our usual gamut of testing and utilized the same comparison scoring system as Inside Line, with the exception of final score weighting, which we adjusted to reflect a more consumer-oriented perspective.
