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, Bluetooth, leather steering wheel with audio controls, a cargo cover, dual vanity mirrors, four more speakers (for a total of six), iPod interface and a driver seat armrest. The SL then adds a standard CVT, 16" alloy wheels, auto headlights, and auto climate control. Finally, the Krom specialty vehicle brings a custom look and feel to the line-up with an aero body kit, chrome grille, rear spoiler, 5-inch color audio/navigation display with USB port, a rearview camera and a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer.

For 2011, a new navigation system with a 5-inch touchscreen and XM NavTraffic is standard on the Krom, and optional on the SL.
