Nissan Cube

The Nissan cube looks like nothing else on the road today; it boasts fun and whimsical styling, excellent fuel efficiency and space for five people in its comfortable, yet quirky interior.

The front-wheel drive cube is powered by a 122-hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, bolted to either a six-speed manual or Xtronic CVT. There are three trim levels available, 1.8, 1.8S, and 18SL, each is standard with features like speed-sensitive steering, anti-lock brakes, keyless entry, power windows, single CD player, 6-way manual driver seat, cloth seats, six airbags, active front head restraints, tire pressure monitoring and stability control. The S adds things like cruise control, Bluetooth, leather steering wheel with audio controls, a cargo cover, dual vanity mirrors, four more speakers (for a total of six), iPod interface and a driver seat armrest. The SL then adds a standard CVT, 16" alloy wheels, auto headlights, and auto climate control.

For 2012, the Krom trim has been dropped, the S and SL gain a passenger seat armrest, and the SL now has Intelligent Key standard. Also, a new Limited "Blue" Edition package is available on the 1.8S.
