2009 Nissan Cube: Big Bang For Small Bucks
Recently it seems every time we turn around there’s another addition to the ever-swelling B car segment. The surging demand for small and economical from the American car-buying public means the manufacturers need to expand their small car offerings. Nissan is now widening that end of their model line up beyond the Versa and Sentra and finally shipping the Cube to America. JDM versions of the Cube have been rocking the home market since 1998, with an arsenal of features, big space in a small package and iconic styling. Now, much to delight of American JDM B car fans, the Cube’s latest iteration is headed Stateside with Nissan promising all the features American buyers need in a small car plus a few extras they’ll definitely love.
The Nissan Cube comes packed with more safety features than your sweet mother’s arms. An advanced air-bag system, vehicle dynamic control with traction control system (TCS), ABS with electronic brake distribution (EBD), brake assist (BA), a tire-pressure monitor (TPMS), adjustable seat-belt shoulder harness height and a dizzying slew of other safety-related acronyms all come standard. That’s a lot of safety gear.
Safety isn’t the Cube’s only strong point. There’s also an impressive list of standard features like air conditioning, power windows and locks, keyless entry, 12-volt outlet, a cargo light out back and intermittent wipers front and rear. And f you’re willing to spend a little more money, Nissan is also offering up its Nissan Intelligent Key™ with Push Button Ignition, a Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System and a kickin’ Rockford Fosgate subwoofer with six upgraded speakers.
That’s all the stuff we’re used to seeing from a well-priced B Car, but Nissan’s taken a different tack on the functionality front. Aside from the unique rounded edge-square styling, the biggest variation comes at the rear door. We say door because unlike other hatches, the back of the Cube doesn’t open with a tail-gate or clam shell. Instead, the door opens just like a refrigerator. The move maximizes space inside and keeps you aware of the end of the door – saving the Cube from embarrassing parking lot dings. Plus with its asymmetrical rear window, it looks darn cool too!
With all the goods crammed inside the Cube, Nissan has armed its new-for America B car with the style and features it needs to take on the competition and win. And with the recently announced base price of $13,990 we have a feeling you’ll be seeing quite a few of them on the road very quickly.
