I went down to Palm Beach, Florida recently to check out the new Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet, and absolutely fell in love with it! What a awesome ride! Check me out in the passenger seat, with Tiffany (@bellastone) of Manolith.com and Twirlit.com.
The Murano Cross Cabriolet is so different – It’s the first all-wheel drive crossover convertible, part SUV and part convertible.
Since I drive a Toyota Camry, I loved being up higher (it’s exactly like an SUV in that way). It’s got loads of room for 4 passengers — which made me think of the interior of the convertibles my father owned when he was single (back in the late 1950’s up to the mid 60’s). It’s got a large trunk space, but keep in mind, you aren’t going to get as much in it as the Murano (but more than a regular convertible). If you are going on a trip, you’ll be able to get tons of luggage in. It’s got a real back seat, which a regular convertible made these days barely has. If you have young kids like I do, you’re probably not going to buy this car (a double Maclaren umbrella stroller will fit, but not a wider stroller like a Mountain Buggy Double) — but when they are older (like tween and teen years), it’s something I would love to get!
While I’m not an expert on cars and have no clue about torque or horsepower (you can find all that info here at Nissan’s official site), I know that I loved driving it — and you will too!
Thank you to Nissan for providing this test drive opportunity in sunny Palm Beach Florida. The opinions expressed are solely my own and I can highly recommend this vehicle.
Great piece on the Murano, nice review and nice pics. We would love to have a page with your Murano at our site. It’s easy (and free!) to join and to create the profile page. You can add pictures and videos, and it integrates with Facebook. Great job, Nancy.
Thanks for review of Murano Cross Cabriolet.
What dealership did you go to?
Hello Nancy,
Like your story. I try to order a Nissan Murano Crosss Cabrio for some months now.
No dealer seems to know how to place an order.
Please tell me how you bought one.
Nissan USA also is quite about where I can order one and i have no ideay why no one has any info.
I have been at the Houston Auto show to see it LIFE after is was presented at the Los Angelos Auto show the first time.
I even took a 13 hour flight to Houston just to see it !!!!!
But Nissan keeps the secret.
Strange.
Regards,
Hans van Ommen
Dear commenters,
This was a test drive. The car is not on sale yet and I did not receive one for free. I just took a test drive and loved it. Please speak to your Nissan dealers when the car goes on sale.
