The new and hip 2009 Nissan Cube didn't always used to be so popular. The cube is actually a third generation car. More than 10 years later since the original conception, the newest Cube is out in the world and a hit everywhere.
This Micro Van stands differently than its predecessors with a longer wheelbase at 99.6 inches and overall length at 156.7 inches. It's been stated that the wider stance adds to the vehicles handling prowess. On the exterior a three bar chrome grille and select fascias help to distinguish a different look from the Cube lineup. The Cube is available in four different trim levels, including the 1.8, the 1.8 S, the 1.8 SL, and the Krom Edition.
The asymmetrical balance and box styling of the Cube makes this car unique and stand out from the crowd. Of course there will be comparisons to the Scion xB due to their inevitable squared off likeness. But Nissan trumps the comparison in personalized programs that offer over forty accessories to customize the car to the buyers liking. Some accessories include interior mood lighting with twenty options of color, shag carpet interior inserts, body kits and an option for larger wheels.
Other cool design aspects are rounded windows to offset the square body, 'water droplet' shaped interior accents, a refrigerator-like back door, and a large interior with a lounge facade. The Krom trim gets exclusive woven cloth seats, Bluetooth hands free capability, iPod interface and Rockford Fosgate surround sound system with an integrated subwoofer.
Under the hood, the Cube is powered by a 122 horsepower 1.8 Liter four cylinder engine. Buyers also have the choice of a six speed manual or automatic transmission. The fuel economy is expected to be 30 miles per gallon on the highway and 28 miles per gallon in the city with the CVT transmission.
The Cube is unique and gives buyers lots of options to customize their vehicle, but is it safe? Yes, the Cube comes with a number of standard safety features. They include ABS, electronic brake distribution and assist, vehicle dynamic control, traction control, a tire pressure monitoring system, six airbags with front and side curtain airbags, and front seat active head restraints. Estimated price for the Cube ranges from $13,000 and $16,000.
