Ever since it launched, the Nissan Cube has been a head-turner. Its silhouette has its supporters and detractors. This square-shaped vehicle offers an immense interior that is equally comfortable and functional. Its dashboard has received unanimous acclaim for its ergonomics. The cargo capacity is 1,645 litres. The short but high nose is home to a 122-hp 1.8L 4-cylinder engine paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or CVT.
