Nissan Murano Submodels
The Nissan Murano arrived for the 2003 model year as a pioneer in the crossover segment. It shared its FF-L platform with the Altima sedan and came standard with the well-regarded VQ35DE 3.5L V6 engine. However, its mandatory pairing with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) was a polarizing choice that defined the model's driving dynamics from day one.
While most Muranos are treated as used transportation, the Murano CrossCabriolet (2011-2014) has developed a cult following. This strange 2-door, 4-seat convertible SUV was a radical design experiment with a very short production run. Its rarity and unconventional nature make it the only Murano with genuine long-term collector potential, though its appeal remains niche.
The current market reflects the Murano's position as an affordable used vehicle. The average sale price sits below $8,000, with a wide spread between early, high-mileage examples and late-model cars. The CrossCabriolet is the only variant that attracts enthusiast attention, sometimes commanding a premium over its conventional siblings.
Buying Tips
- Check the service history for regular CVT fluid changes and be alert for any slipping, shuddering, or whining noises during the test drive, as early transmissions are a known failure point.
- Inspect for water damage in the cabin, particularly in the headliner and front footwells, which can be caused by clogged sunroof drains.
- If considering a CrossCabriolet, operate the convertible top multiple times to ensure it functions smoothly and check all seals for signs of water leaks or perishing rubber.
- For all-wheel-drive models, look for fluid leaks from the transfer case seals, a common issue that can lead to expensive repairs if ignored.
Prices range from $870 for early examples to $21,500 for recent, low-mileage models.
