Two SUVs with some similarities, but otherwise different in most aspects such as the model year, maximum occupancy, horsepower, fuel economy, and height. First of all, although the 2016 Murano has a more powerful engine than the 2013 Pilot, it gets 3.5 more mpg. Also, the roofline of the Pilot is slightly higher than the Murano's. In addition, there is a difference in the number of passengers; the Honda Pilot seats three more the Nissan Murano. Among similarities are the body structure, starting price, and ground shadow size.
