Getting Your Square Share Nissan Cube
When it comes to buying a new Nissan Altima or even a used Nissan Pathfinder, I’ll take the Cube. Three generations into Nissan Cube’s birth, and it has at last reached the USA, Honda’s Element, Scion’s xB, and Kia’s Soul arrived here first. The Cube rides atop a smaller Versa platform a Versa cubed and all four variety of the Cube manufactured by Nissan are front wheeldrive only, and powered by a 122-hp, 1.8-liter four cylinder.
The Scion xB on the other hand is outfitted with a serious larger engine being the 2.4 Liter 4 cylinder that makes 158 hp. with a manual transmission, and just like the Nissan Cube is also a front wheel drive foreign made sport utility. Reviewers tend to note the similarities in the 2010 Nissan Cube and the Scion xB or Kia Soul, but the actuality is that nothing really compares to the funky, great rounded-box styling of the new Nissan Cube. For Nissan, 2010 marks two years that the Nissan Cube has been offered in the United States, although the last three generations have been sold on foreign ground since the early 80s. Most evident feature inside of the Cube is a ruffle effect that can be seen in the headliner, door panels and appears once again all around the cup holders. This little add on can seem a bit overbearing, but reviewers have all reacted positively after taking a look at the physical appearance of the hotel lounge theme.
The Nissan Cube comes fully equipped with a outstanding selection of basic safety features, including ABS with brake assist and traction-control and non-skid systems. Basic 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 All Wheel Drive, electric propelled rear wheels to help the front wheels for better traction in the snow, that’s great for new owners. Nissan has also discussed a fully electric car based on the Cube, though it won’t be on hand for consumer purchase in the U.S. until 2012.
