Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet Revealed Ahead of LA Auto Show Debut
Nissan continues to push forward with its no-holds-barred approach to automotive design, unveiling a new two-door convertible version of its Murano SUV. Named the Murano CrossCabriolet, this bizarre new model follows on the heels of the launch of the tiny Juke crossover – criticized for its styling, but praised for its impressive engineering package.
Believe it or not, this is no concept car and Nissan will actually offer it for sale starting next year. It’s the world’s first AWD crossover convertible, and Nissan claims the package delivers the space for four adults as well as sufficient cargo space – even with the roof down.
We’re excited to see more of this car when it officially launches at the LA Auto Show on Wednesday and will be sure to bring you plenty of photos. Until then, check out our LA Auto Show Preview here.
Is this the start of a new trend? Or are Nissan’s designers one sketch away from a straight jacket?
With AutoGuide from its launch, Colum previously acted as Editor-in-Chief of Modified Luxury & Exotics magazine where he became a certifiable car snob driving supercars like the Koenigsegg CCX and racing down the autobahn in anything over 500 hp. He has won numerous automotive journalism awards including the Best Video Journalism Award in 2014 and 2015 from the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). Colum founded Geared Content Studios, VerticalScope's in-house branded content division and works to find ways to integrate brands organically into content.

straight jacket for sure...
Straight Jacket?.. far from it... This is a great idea and it looks good too. I'd love to see it with the top up. I think they have a winner here even if it is in a mid-high niche segment. It's a good image car for Nissan.
