The All New Nissan Cube.

February 15th, 2010

When it comes to buying a new Nissan Frontier or even a used Nissan Altima, I’ll take the Cube. Three generations after the Cube’s existence, and it has at last reached our shores, Honda’s Element, Scion’s xB, and Kia’s Soul arrived here with first dibs on the market. The Cubes chassis is a smaller Versa platform a Versa cubed and all four versions of the Cube manufactured by Nissan are frontdrive only, and fitted with a 122-hp, 1.8-liter four.

The 2010 Scion xB compact SUV is a front-wheel drive wagon with a single piece hatch back. A 158-horsepower 4 cylinder 2.4 liter power plant hooked up to one of two transmission a five speed manual or four speed automatic. Professionals are likely 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 well rounded-box looks of the brand new Nissan Cube. For Nissan, 2010 marks two years that the Nissan Cube will be offered in the USA, even though last three generations have been sold on foreign ground since the early 80s. Most apparent on the interior of the amazing Cube is a wave effect that dominates the whole inside of the vehicle and puts a relaxing sensation through anyone who sits down inside this nightclub surroundings.

This great vehicle comes fully equipped with a outstanding selection of standard safety features, including antilock brakes with brake assist and traction-control and antiskid systems. Basic seat mounted side and front airbags, and full-length head-protecting curtain airbags keeping all passengers safe. Talks have been made about Nissan coming out with an AWD, electric powered rear wheels to help the front wheels for better traction in the rain, that’s great for new owners. Nissan has also discussed a fully electric car based on the Cube, though it won’t be available for consumer purchase in the U.S. until 2012.

The Brand New Nissan Cube.

November 30th, 2009

When it comes to buying a new Nissan Cube or even a used Nissan Maxima, I’ll take the Cube. Three generations after Nissan Cube’s existence, and it has at last reached our shores, Honda’s Element, Scion’s xB, and Kia’s Soul arrived here with first dibs on the market. The Cubes chassis is a shortened Versa framework a Versa cubed and all four models of the Cube made by Nissan are frontdrive only, and powered by a 122-hp, 1.8-liter four.

The 2010 Scion xB compact SUV is a front-wheel drive wagon with a single piece rear lift gate. A 158-hp. four cylinder 2.4 liter power plant attached to either a four speed auto transmission or the five speed manual transmission. Professionals 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 great rounded-box styling of the brand new Nissan Cube. For Nissan, 2010 marks the second year that the Nissan Cube will be presented in the United States, even though last three generations have been sold on foreign ground for quite some time. Most visible on the interior of the Nissan Cube is a pillow effect that stands out in the headliner, visors and is repeated in the bottoms of the cup holders. This feature can seem a bit too much, while car enthusiast have all reacted positively after seeing the outstanding looks of the local lounge theme.

The Nissan Cube is loaded with a perfect selection of basic safety componenets, including ABS with brake assist and traction-control and non-skid systems. Typical seat mounted side and front airbags, and full-length head-protecting curtain airbags keeping all passengers safe. There’s a good possibility Cube may sooner or later be Nissan’s “e-AWD. This employs a small electric motor to automatically engage the rear tires when needed to make up for any loss of traction to the front wheels. Nissan has also discussed a fully electric car based on the Cube, though it won’t be available for consumer purchase until 2012 in the USA.
