I bet almost none of you reading this knew there's such a thing as a convertible SUV.

I also bet all of you would be shocked to learn that the Murano - yes, the Nissan Murano has a convertible version.

Nissan Built the thing and quickly realized it was a mistake. Well, not really a mistake except that the thing flopped in the market.

After looking through the photos, click the link to read the story of how this convertible SUV by Nissan came to exist very briefly. In fact, it's still available in the used market. In America.

Nissan and electric problem

According to several sources, its main problem is the transmission, which isn't surprising.

How come Benz engines are reliable ?
I heard they make Mercedes engines .

I suppose you mean the 4-cylinders Nissan Built for certain Merc and Infiniti models between 2010 and 2014. Yes, Nissan has built some of the most reliable engines ever produced, particularly those from the 1990s. But powerplants and drivetrains are two different ballgames. Nissan's CVT from that period had a bad reputation. People still avoid the Murano like a plague to this day just because of the tranny.

Very good point. 👍I take back my word. The CrossCabriolet is the world's first convertible SUV, but not the only one.
