When it comes to buying a new Nissan Rogue or even a used Nissan Rogue Atlanta, I’ll take the Cube. 30 years after the Cube’s birth, and it has finally reached our shores, Honda’s Element, Scion’s xB, and Kia’s Soul arrived here ahead of the Cube. The Cube rides atop a smaller Versa platform a Versa cubed and all four versions of the Cube made by Nissan are front wheeldrive 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 rear tail gate. A 158-horsepower four cylinder 2.4 liter motor attached to either a four speed auto transmission or the five speed manual transmission. Reviewers are proned to relate the 2010 Nissan Cube with the Scion xB or Kia Soul, but the reality is that nothing really compares to the funky, well rounded-box looks of the new Nissan Cube. For Nissan, 2010 marks two years that the Nissan Cube will be available in the USA, although the first three generations have been sold on foreign ground for quite some time. Most apparent in the cabin of the amazing Cube is a wave effect that stands out in the complete inside of the Cube and puts a soothing sensation through anyone who gets planted inside this Jacuzzi atmosphere.
The Nissan Cube is loaded with a great selection of basic safety items, including ABS with brake assist and traction-control and antiskid systems. Standard 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 All Wheel Drive, electric propelled rear wheels to help the front wheels for better traction in terrible conditions, that’s excellent for new owners. Nissan has also talked about a fully electric car based on the Cube, though it won’t be on hand for retail sale in the U.S. until 2012.
