Motor Trend test the eccentric CrossCabriolet Nissan Murano, a model that tries to combine the qualities of an SUV like the Murano and those of a 4-seater cabriolet. Characterized by a complex fabric hood with aluminum and magnesium and double rear window, the Murano is definitely CrossCabriolet discuss: the performances of the 3.5 V6 265 bhp petrol are mortified by the weight and the Continuously Variable Transmission, the attitude is decidedly soft and the line has to talk about themselves with only two doors and the body that takes on a new hint of tail. Therefore difficult to understand if the car is a success, especially considering that the proposal will be only the North American market: after all, there seems to be room for a similar model in Europe, although it would create an entirely new niche.
The body of the Versa sedan has a drag coefficient of 0.31. Eight exterior colors are available, including the Finish "Titanium ", previously other Nissan models like the GT-R supercar was reserved. Despite its compact dimensions should be the place of commuter vehicles, family vans and shopping carts in one. The rear seats can be folded asymmetrically, depending on the version. The trunk of the 4.46 meter five-seater holds 419 liters. Stay for the rear passengers, Nissan more comfortable with a great leg room - they should be designed as a luxurious vehicles from the likes of BMW fiver.
Under the body is a 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine puts 110 hp and 145 Nm of torque. The new-generation engine features two injectors per cylinder instead of a safe. A finer metering of the fuel should make the combustion more efficient. In addition, the engine is equipped lighter than its predecessor and with a variable valve timing. By default, a five-speed manual gearbox is coupled to the motor. In addition, there is a continuously variable automatic (CVT), were reduced in comparison to the old version of friction, weight and size.
Let's say it's a matter of choice: the F-150 offers four engines, the Titan has only one. The F-150 offers three cab types and 11 levels of finishes, the Titan has only 2 and 4, respectively. The F-150 offers multiple axle ratios, innumerable options and packages, several bed lengths, while the Titan has that good-I think you understand.
As a work truck, the Titan is a good choice. Our version SL 4x4 Crew Cab test offers a load capacity of 774 kilos (1,706 lbs), which is very good. As for towing, the maximum capacity of 4128 kg (9100 lbs) is not as high as its competitors but still quite adequate.
The 5.6-liter V8 powering each Titan develops 317 horsepower and a torque of 385 lb-ft mated to a 5-speed automatic, muscular tone and gives the occasional dose of testosterone. We can not brag too much, because the engine upgrade is the 5.0-liter (360 horsepower) and the EcoBoost V6 (365 hp) Ford, the Toyota 5.7-liter (381 horsepower) and RAM 5.7-liter (390 horsepower). Titan loop from 0-100 km / h in 7.6 seconds, not bad for a truck of 2550 kg.
As for fuel consumption, our average of 16.7 L/100 km does not really surprise, it is expected that a V8 engine does not benefit from energy efficient technologies such as cylinder deactivation or box 6-speed. Ah yes, it's winter, so we left the system with four-wheel drive Titan hired almost all week.
There is plenty of room in the rear for three adults, and the cushions are easy to create a vast loading area for items that you would not leave it lying in the fund. The rear entertainment system with DVD $ 2 000, with remote and wireless headsets, allow your children to remain quiet.
At 100 km / h, the cabin remains relatively quiet Titan, however, you can hear a motor humming everywhere: increasing the volume of the radio aid, which consists of a chain with Rockford Fosgate and XM radio 6 CD changer can play MP3 files. Bluetooth connectivity is also included, but only in superior finishes PRO-4X and SL.
Regarding the external appearance of the Titan, well, it's a personal opinion. It lacks the imposing aggressive RAM 1500, although fortunately, the fact that the Titan does not sell in large numbers to prevent looking too common. Ah yes: I've never managed to unlock the storage compartment next to the left rear wheel.
The base price for a Titan King Cab S basic two-wheel drive is at $ 33 848 before taxes, transportation and preparation. Our version of SL on top of the line retails for $ 50,548 and includes heated front seats, power sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather seats, memory function for driver position, tube steps and chrome wheels with 20 inch tires 275/60R20.
In comparison, similar equipment will pay for the RAM 1500 49 915 $. The Ford F-150 Lariat amounts to $ 52 359. The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra SLT LTZ costs $ 53,555. The Toyota Tundra Crewmax Limited, meanwhile, climbed to $ 52 075.
The Nissan Titan could be more savings in gasoline, offering a more comfortable ride and it could be more attractive inside and out. However, it remains a solid even after all these years, and a good effort by Nissan at their first attempt at developing a full-size pickup. It may be overridden, but that does not mean we should shun the provided.

The wheelbase remains the same, while length, width and height differ by less than an inch compared to conventional Murano. The ground clearance is also nearly identical, but the loading height is higher than 3 inches: it is assumed that the door sills are among the highest efforts to strengthen the vehicle structure.
The CrossCabriolet transporting a person less because the seat is a couch. Obviously, the loading area becomes safe Murano, whose capacity is 348 liters with the roof up and 215 liters when lowered.
One finish is offered, meaning a list of equipment that includes leather upholstery, heated front seats, power driver's seat with position memory feature, a Bose audio system with 7 speakers with auto volume adjustment according the roof is raised or lowered, a 30 GB hard drive, USB port, telephone connectivity and audio streaming Bluetooth, a navigation system, steering column electrically adjustable dual-zone automatic climate control and a.
Despite the soft top, there are still six airbags, while deployable roll bars were added. Speaking of the soft top, it has not one but two rear windows. The CrossCabriolet also benefits from alloy wheels with 20 inch tires 235/55R20, a smart key system, xenon headlights and fog lights.
Under the hood, nothing has changed. The 3.5-liter V6 produces 265 horsepower and a torque of 248 foot-pounds, connected to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). One wonders why the CrossCabriolet is available only with AWD: after all, its sales potential is greater in California than in Florida and Vermont
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your opinion of CrossCabriolet, it will not be available in Canada. Know the United States, its MSRP will be $ 46 390, or about $ 5 000 more than a Murano LE Fully equipped.
According to Nissan, CrossCabriolet "not only to ride in South Beach or Malibu. It is a vehicle to go to dinner, running errands or for a long weekend skiing anywhere in the country. "You see? This is no joke.
The optional seven-speed automatic was complemented by Nissan is a "Snow Mode ". On ice or snow, the driving program selected the second gear to start, what should prevent the wheels from spinning. The system slows when needed at low speeds, the speed, so as to prevent further slippage. Another change in the 370Z is the additional noise insulation on the lower floor, which the sports car will effectively be shielded from road noise.
The revised 370Z Coupe Nissan offers from € 38 750, the Roadster from € 41 450.
Outside the hotel JW Marriott in Kuala Lumpur of Malaysia, Adam found and photographed a bicolor Nissan GT-R in pink and black matte color with black rims. I really do not know if it's overkill or not.
So almost went unnoticed premiere of the revised European version of the 370Z Coupe. For model year from Nissan showing a number of changes at 370 Z, including improvements in the transmission, suspension and equipment as well as the emergence of a new version of equipment called GT Edition. Model of the 2011 370Z Coupe for Europe with a new set of shock absorbers that provide a better balance between comfort and driving behavior of the car at high speed. From Nissan say that the change was made possible by the higher maximum speed allowed in most European countries. Model 2012 370 Z is a new, better insulation of the underbody, which reduces the noise coming from the road. In automatic transmission with seven degrees already and mode "Snow" in which the vehicle goes straight to second gear and the computer controls the engine speed so as to prevent the wheels slipping on snow or ice. As equipment has emerged a new rear camera for parking, which is part of satellite navigation Nissan Premium Connect. In the standard equipment now enter and control the pressure in the tires. Can choose between three new body colors - metallic black, pearl white and black rose ", the latter option is only available to equipment GT Edition. 2011 Model of Nissan 370 Z is a new RAYS forged wheels in size 19-inch, which are in black.
