Think Outside The Cube.
When it comes to buying a new Nissan Gainesville or even a used Nissan Cube, I’ll take the Cube. 30 years after Nissan Cube’s birth, and it has finally reached our shores, 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 variety of the Cube made by Nissan are front wheeldrive only, and fitted with a 122-hp, 1.8-liter four.
The Scion xB on the other hand is outfitted with a notable bigger motor being the 2.4 Liter 4 cylinder that creates 158 hp. with a manual transmission, and just like the Nissan Cube is also a front wheel drive Japanese created SUV. Reviewers are proned to relate the 2010 Nissan Cube with the Scion xB or Kia Soul, but the reality is that nothing looks the same as the cube’s well rounded-box styling of the new Nissan Cube. For Nissan, 2010 marks the second year that the Nissan Cube has been offered in the United States, even though last three generations were offered on foreign ground for quite some time. Most visible in the cabin of the Nissan Cube is a ripple effect that dominates the headliner, visors and is repeated all around the counsel. This little touch can seem a bit too much, while professionals have all reacted positively after seeing the physical appearance of the local lounge theme.
The Nissan Cube comes fully equipped with a great selection of basic safety componenets, including ABS with brake assist and traction-control and non-skid systems. Standard seat mounted side and front airbags, and full-length head-protecting curtain airbags keeping all passengers safe. There’s a good possibility Cube will in time be Nissan’s “e-AWD. This employs a compact electric motor to automatically power the rear tires as needed to make up for any loss of traction to the front wheels. Nissan has also talked about a fully electric car based on the Cube, though it won’t be offered for retail sale until 2012 in the USA.
