Question:

What bike rack do you recommend for my 2015 Nissan Murano? I have done tons of research trying to avoid putting a hitch on my car. Thank you

If you need to transport only 2 bikes on your 2015 Nissan Murano then you have several trunk-mount rack options from Thule, all of which can be seen on the included link.

Of all of these racks, my favorite is the OutWay # TH45JV which locks to both secure the rack to your Murano and your loaded bikes to the rack. This outstanding carrier is among the most user-friendly trunk racks on the market. It uses only 2 rubber coated straps to secure to your car, rather than the 4-6 straps of other carriers.
This makes it super easy to install. Please refer to the linked video.

If you need to transport more than two bikes you can put the others on roof-rack-mount bike carriers like Swagman's Upright # S64720; this carrier fits round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory-installed roof crossbars. The linked video shows this roof bike rack in use on a Nissan vehicle.
