2010 nissan cube review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Friendly and practical. introductionthe nissan cube is a small crossover suv sporting a boxy, whimsical body design housing a practical cabin. Small on the outside, it's easy to maneuver, easy to park, and it's epa-rated at 31 miles per gallon highway. Yet it's big on the inside. Its back seat reclines for comfort or can be deleted for van-like cargo space. Nissan markets its cube in fashionable lower case, like iphone and smart fortwo. cube was new to the u. For 2010, nissan cube changes are oriented around the information and entertainment systems. Bluetooth and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls are now standard on all but the base model; as is a six-speaker stereo with ipod interface, mp3/cd-rom capability, radio data system (rds), and speed-sensitive volume control. For 2010, the cube sl with the preferred package and the top-level cube krom (pronounced chrome) add a 4. 3-inch color audio display with usb connectivity and a rearview monitor, along with intelligent key and push-button starting. the cube may be a newcomer to the u. Market, but it has been on sale for a decade in japan, and the version sold here is actually the third generation of the product. The cube predates the chrysler pt cruiser, scion xb, kia soul, toyota yaris, and honda fit, all of which nissan counts as the cube's direct competitors. Easy to park, it can make a u-turn in the tiniest of spaces. Even more odd (literally) is the cube's odd number of visible roof pillars: a fairly conventional three on the left side but only two on the right, with the third pillar on right side covered by dark glass. Cube s is offered with the manual 15,030) or a cvt automatic 16,030). Cube sl 17,130) and cube krom edition 20,120) come with the automatic only. the base cube is pretty basic. It comes standard with cloth upholstery; manual air conditioning; tilt steering wheel; six-way adjustable driver's seat; 60/40 split reclining rear bench seat; power windows, power mirrors and locks; a two-speaker am/fm/cd sound system; rear privacy glass; and p195/60hr15 tires on steel wheels. the cube s adds niceties and conveniences: a more deluxe fabric interior; body-colored outside mirrors; cruise control; driver's center armrest; vanity mirrors; map pocket; and a cover, lights, and tie-downs for the cargo area, among other features. New for 2010 is a six-speaker stereo featuring an ipod interface, mp3/wma/cd-rom capability, radio data system (rds) and speed-sensitive volume control; as well as bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. the cube sl adds automatic climate control, auto on/off headlights, fog lights, and p195/55vr16 tires on 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. Optional on the sl is the preferred package 1,600) which adds a seven-speaker rockford-fosgate audio system with a new-for-2010 4. 3-inch color display screen and rearview monitor, usb interface, xm satellite radio; and intelligent key with push-button starting. the cube krom edition is distinguished by an integrated body kit that includes unique front and rear fascias and trim, as well as extended side sills and a roof spoiler. Tires are the same size as on sl, but krom's wheels have a unique look as well. The interior gets an equally individual two-tone treatment with black and gray fabric, aluminum pedals, a titanium-look shifter and 20-color accent lighting. But more than 40 dealer-installed accessories are available, ranging from such mundane items as splash guards 150) and a cargo organizer 180) to an aero kit 1,180) and the krom's 20-color interior lighting 290). At top, a gray plastic grille with a slotted texture integrates with the main light clusters; it curves up at its bottom center to make room for a simple air slot below it. Below that, a body-colored grille integrates into the bumper, with fog light nacelles at its outboard ends. The appropriately named krom both simplifies and brightens this arrangement with single rectangular grille between the headlights and a much bigger and bolder opening below that in a more sharply defined bumper; both openings are filled with bight horizontal bars. around back, krom is distinguished by horizontal air slots in its rear bumper, a more defined license-plate niche, and a free-standing rooftop spoiler. Running-board-like side sills complete the krom's body mods. wheels also help identify the individual members of the cube family. Base and s models wear plain plastic covers with a six-spoke pattern. Krom's more interesting wheels feature eight individual spokes that each meet the hub at a tangent, so they look like they're spinning even when standing still. Other wheels are offered as accessories the cube is built close to the ground, so it is very easy to get into and out of, and the cargo sill is low enough for a child to load groceries over. interiorwhat the cube has more than anything else remotely in its class is its huge interior size, just under 110 cubic feet overall, in a car that's only 157 inches long. we found a 6-foot, 4-inch driver has about eight inches of headroom; and leg, hip and shoulder room is equally generous. A six-way manual adjuster provides for all types of driver physiques. the reclining rear seat slides fore and aft more than six inches, enabling moms to deal with backseat kids or babies easily at arm's length or large adults to sit comfortably behind large adults in the front seat. The optional cargo package deletes the rear seats to provide enough space for a rock band's gear. Multi-functional hooks can be detached and moved around the car as needed, and there six cupholders. although the cube's design is quirky on the outside, it's all business and quite normal on the inside, with a conventional gauge package, a slightly stylized center area with the radio and environmental controls, and a large glovebox, with storage cubbies all over the doors and interior. interior design licks include a ripple-effect headliner with concentric circles around the dome light, a theme repeated on the speaker cones (and on the rockford fosgate subwoofer when ordered).
