The Exciting New Cube.
When it comes to buying a new Nissan Cube or even a used Nissan Cube, I’ll take the Cube. 30 years into the Cube’s existence, and it has finally reached our beaches, Honda’s Element, Scion’s xB, and Kia’s Soul came here first. The Cube rides atop a smaller Versa framework a Versa cubed and all four versions of the Cube manufactured by Nissan are front wheeldrive only, and equipped with a 122-hp, 1.8-liter four cylinder.
The Scion xB on the other hand is furnished with a much bigger power plant being the 2.4 Liter 4 cylinder that achieves 158 hp. with a manual transmission, and exactly like the Nissan Cube is also a front wheel drive Japanese manufactured sport utility. Reviewers are proned to relate the 2010 Nissan Cube with the Scion xB or Kia Soul, but the actuality is that nothing looks the same as the cube’s excellent rounded-box features of the new Nissan Cube. For Nissan, 2010 marks two years that the Nissan Cube has been presented in the USA, even though last three generations have been sold in Japan for quite some time. Most evident in the cabin of the amazing Cube is a wave effect that dominates the headliner, visors and is repeated in the bottoms of the cup holders. This feature can seem a bit domineering, but car enthusiast have all reacted positively after seeing the outstanding looks of the local lounge theme.
This great vehicle is fully equipped with a outstanding selection of basic safety features, including ABS with brake assist and traction-control and non-skid systems. Typical seat mounted front and side airbags, and full-length head-protecting curtain airbags keeping all passengers safe. Talks have been made about Nissan coming out with an AWD, electric propelled rear wheels to help the front wheels for better traction in the rain, that’s excellent for new owners. Nissan has also talked about a fully electric car based on the Cube, though it won’t be available for retail sale in the U.S. until 2012.
