Hmm…. not sure that convertible and SUV go together just yet but Nissan seems to think so with the unveiling of their Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet pictured above. The care will have a $44,450 sticker price as well. More info below:
This all-new convertible SUV (yes, you read that correctly) is the Japanese automaker’s bold endeavor to produce a model that has never been offered before. But this is not Nissan’s first ultra-niche vehicle.
Over the last several years, Nissan has made a strong effort to break free from the cookie-cutter boxes in an attempt to offer something unique.
One look at the Murano CC, and it is obvious that Nissan was not concerned with practicality—it has just two doors and seats only four; this convertible was built purely as a novelty item for coastal cruising. Equipped with the same 3.5-liter V-6 engine as the standard Murano, the CC is actually tuned to put out a little more power to make up for the added weight of its retractable lid. With 265 hp and 248 ft lbs of torque, the drop-top SUV hits 60 mph in roughly seven seconds, which is plenty fast for a truck that weighs in at just under 4,500 pounds.
Would you push this?
