The Cube is available in basic S and better-equipped SL trims, with S trims offered with a choice of either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable automatic transmission, while the SL is only offered with the CVT. All Cube models are powered by a 122-horsepower, 1.8L 4-cylinder engine, providing adequate and economical operation and EPA fuel economy ratings of up to 27 mpg city, 31 highway (with the CVT). ...more

Thanks to a suspension layout much like a small sedan, with MacPherson struts in front and a torsion beam setup in back, the Cube rides mostly flat and handles like a somewhat softly sprung small car; speed-sensitive electric power steering helps this boxy vehicle maneuver well around town--with its length of less than 157 inches shorter than some subcompact cars. Stopping power is provided by anti-lock front disc/rear drum brakes with Brake Assist, and S models come with 15-inch steel wheels while the SL gets 16-inch alloys.

The boxy, van-like exterior of the Cube pays off inside, with a layout that prioritizes passengers over cargo. There's a sofa-style sliding rear bench seat that can recline, as well as slide to three different positions, plus lots of storage spaces and a total of six cupholders plus 'shelves' at the instrument panel. Two interior color themes are offered: Light Gray, with a quilted suede fabric, and Black. The Cube has an unusual asymmetrical look that helps with outward visibility, as well as a side-opening hatch that Nissan says helps aid cargo access when in a tight parallel-parking spot.

The Cube S includes air conditioning, keyless entry, cruise control, cargo hooks, and a 6-speaker CD sound system with auxiliary input. In addition to that, the SL gets an Intelligent Key system, push-button start, automatic climate control, and rear heating ducts. Factory options are very limited, with the only significant one being the SL Preferred Package, which adds a navigation system with five-inch touch screen, a RearView Monitor, a USB port, Rockford Fosgate audio with upgraded speakers and a subwoofer and SiriusXM satellite radio compatibility.

There's plenty more room for extras, though--through the long list of more than 40 official accessories available at the dealership. Everything from special trims, wheels, and lighting kits are offered, as well as a cargo organizer.

2013 Nissan cube Value

Urban dwellers who have limited parking space and want something more stylish than the typical small car will probably find a lot to love in the Cube. There's nothing quite like it on the market, and its asymmetrical design, side-opening hatch, sofa-like rear seat, and water-ripple interior designs all make it quirky and endearing. The Cube drives well in the city and rides comfortably, with a low sticker price and great fuel economy to boot.
