The Nissan cube looks like nothing else on the road today, it boasts fun and whimsical styling, excellent fuel efficiency and space for five people in its comfortable, yet quirky interior.

The front-wheel drive cube is powered by a 122-hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, bolted to either a six-speed manual or Xtronic CVT. There are four trim levels available, 1.8, 1.8S, 18SL and 1.8 Krom, each is standard with features like speed-sensitive steering, anti-lock brakes, keyless entry, power windows, single CD player, 6-way manual driver seat, cloth seats, six airbags, active front head restraints, tire pressure monitoring and stability control. The S adds things like cruise control, a cargo cover, dual vanity mirrors, two more speakers (for a total of four) and a driver seat armrest. The SL then adds a standard CVT, 16" alloy wheels, auto headlights, auto climate control, two more speakers (for a total of six) and iPod interface. Finally, the Krom specialty vehicle brings a custom look to the line-up with an aero body kit, chrome grille, rear spoiler, Bluetooth, leather steering wheel with audio controls, and a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer.

The 2009 cube is all-new to the North American Nissan family.
