Nissan Murano
Full model guideThe Short Answer
One market cycle, incomplete five-year evidence
Both models were observed in the 2026 market cycle, but at least one side does not include the five-year cohort required for a defensible smoothed retention score. CarResaleValue does not fill that gap with a synthetic rank. Use the shared model-year rows, used prices, fuel economy, repairs and safety evidence instead.

The numbers that change the decision
Green cells mark a measurable advantage, not an overall verdict. Price and coverage are shown without declaring a winner because the right tradeoff depends on your budget and the exact vehicle.

Buyer Fit
Which one should you buy?
Start with the tradeoff you care about, then verify the exact year, trim, mileage and service history. A model-level advantage can disappear when two individual used cars are not equivalent.
Choose the INFINITI QX60 if...
- Its average median used asking price is $931 lower across the covered model years.
- You found a specific example with the stronger year, trim, mileage, condition or service history; those details can outweigh a model-level average.
- Its $13,818 average median asking price fits your budget after you check the same-year rows below.
Choose the Nissan Murano if...
- You are targeting one of the 6 shared model years where it posted lower measured depreciation than the INFINITI QX60.
- Fuel economy matters: the latest covered model year is rated at 23 MPG combined, 1 MPG higher.
- You found a specific example with the stronger year, trim, mileage, condition or service history; those details can outweigh a model-level average.
Beyond The Score
How these models fit the used market
Resale value is only one part of the choice. Segment role, supply and the mix of years on sale help explain why two similarly priced vehicles can depreciate differently.
INFINITI QX60
The INFINITI QX60 is a three-row midsize luxury crossover with V6 power, available all-wheel drive, and family-focused packaging across its trim range.
Market context: The six-year cohort includes the 2016 refresh and a broad mix of front- and all-wheel-drive listings; equipment packages, mileage, and drivetrain can meaningfully separate asking prices.
Nissan Murano
The Nissan Murano is a two-row midsize crossover that prioritizes comfort and styling over maximum cargo capacity.
Market context: The entire 2015-2020 cohort belongs to one generation, reducing redesign noise.

Which holds its value better, the INFINITI QX60 or Nissan Murano?
Both models use the 2026 observation cycle, but at least one does not have the observed five-year cohort required for a model-level retention score. CarResaleValue therefore does not declare a five-year winner or extrapolate beyond the available evidence. Compare the overlapping model-year depreciation rows, asking prices, repair indicators, fuel economy and safety data, then verify the exact year, trim, mileage and condition in current local listings.
Is the INFINITI QX60 or Nissan Murano cheaper to buy used?
Across the model years in this dataset, the INFINITI QX60 has the lower average median asking price at $13,818, about $931 below the Nissan Murano average. That broad average is a starting point, not a like-for-like quote, because each model can have a different year range, trim mix and mileage distribution. The year-by-year table is the better place to compare vehicles of the same age before checking listings near you.
Which is less expensive to maintain, the INFINITI QX60 or Nissan Murano?
The available model data does not provide a complete annual repair-cost estimate for both vehicles, so this page does not name a maintenance-cost winner. Use the RepairPal ratings where shown, review recalls and complaints in each model-year guide, ask for service records, and budget for an independent pre-purchase inspection. Age, mileage, powertrain and previous maintenance usually matter more than a single broad reliability score.
How does CarResaleValue compare the INFINITI QX60 and Nissan Murano?
CarResaleValue normalizes observed used-car asking prices to a standard 12,000 miles per year, applies a 5% asking-to-sale adjustment, and compares the result with original MSRP references. A smoothed retention curve produces the five-year estimate when the data contains an observed five-year cohort. This page combines 2,240 listing observations across 12 model-year records, then adds EPA fuel economy, NHTSA safety data and RepairPal ownership indicators where available.
Comparison methodology
This page combines 2,240 listing observations across 12 model-year records. Asking prices are mileage-normalized to 12,000 miles per year, adjusted by a 5% asking-to-sale estimate, and compared with original MSRP references. Five-year figures use a smoothed curve only when an observed five-year cohort exists. EPA, NHTSA and RepairPal fields are shown independently and may cover different model years.
