Refinement in the 2009 Nissan Cube is way beyond what most buyers in this market would expect. . The design is innovative from every angle and in this case function and form come together perfectly. Best of all the Cube starts at just $13,990* plus tax and lic.
The Nissan Cube is offered in four different models: base 1.8, 1.8 S, 1.8 SL,
and 1.8 KrOm. Even the base model is better equipped than most vehicles in its
low price range; it includes remote keyless entry, power windows, air
conditioning, a trip computer, and a sound system with auxiliary input. The 1.8
S gets cruise control, map lights, and a host of upgraded interior appointments,
while the 1.8 SL is only offered with the CVT and includes alloy wheels,
automatic climate control, and an upgraded sound system with iPod connectivity.
The KrOm model gives the Cube a dressed-up appearance including a roof spoiler,
a chrome grille with horizontal bars, chrome alloy wheels, interior
accent lighting, aluminum pedals, and a different front and rear fascia, plus
various extras including Bluetooth, steering-wheel audio controls, and a
Rockford Fosgate subwoofer. Theres only one factory option package, the SL
Preferred Package, which brings push-button ignition, Intelligent Key, fog
lamps, rear parking sensors, XM Satellite Radio, an upgrade to Clarion speakers,
and the subwoofer.
Safety equipment includes six airbags and electronic stability control, which
incorporates traction control and anti-lock brake management. Power locks and
windows, intermittent front and rear wipers are standard along with all sorts of
witty design elements and gadgets
A defining design theme is that of water droplets. A quick look at the headliner ripples emanating from the cabin light will show
exactly what we mean. Clear, concise gauges ride in the stylish dashboard, while an easy to
read climate control panel graces the center panel. Useful details
include removable multi hooks for cargo, stylish cupholders and
available Bluetooth, Intelligent Key/pushbutton start, XM radio, iPod
interface, rear park assist, and a Rockford-Fosgate sound system.
The Cube's interior feels quite a bit more spacious for
passengers than the exterior design suggests. Front seats are soft and
supportive, and a step up from those offered in competitive models. while the bench in back has plenty of space for
two tall adults, with a pull-down center armrest. In a pinch, three can fit
across, and the rear bench not only slides fore and aft but the backrest
reclines flat.
Fun function is the objective inside, with a sliding second row seat that rises
as it travels rearward. The Cube seats five people. The cargo door opens to
curbside, making it better for loading and unloading at the airport.
The New Cube is powered by Nissan's 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine also used in the Versa rated at
122 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. It's coupled to a six-speed manual
or continuously variable transmission. The CVT automatic gets slightly better
mileage than a conventional automatic, with an exceptionally smooth delivery of power.
Are you ready to come try the new cube out for yourself?
