The vehicle delivers the open-air exhilaration of a convertible while extending the versatility of the Murano in exciting new ways. With the seating capacity for four as well as spaces for golf bags or luggage and a premium level interior, Murano CrossCabriolet is an innovative breakthrough in concept and design.
