Overview

The 2011 Nissan Cube Wagon is a proud member of the subcompact wagon segment, locking horns with cars like the Kia Soul, the Scion xB, and the Chevrolet HHR. Spread across 3 trims, the Cube hatchback starts off at a base price of MSRP of $14,740 and carries on to $21,640. Its 1.8L inline-4 engine and 6-speed manual transmission give the SUV 122 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable transmission is optional on the base S trim and standard on all other trims. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 9.7 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 2,000 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Cube hatchback gets a combined EPA rating of 28 MPG, which is just average for the class, with most of its rivals reaching similar numbers. It also has a ground clearance of 6.3 inches.

Buying Advice

The Nissan Cube is a distinctive-looking comfortable hatchback to go up against top dog hatchbacks in the segment. Offered in three trims levels, the most value for the money package happens to be the mid-level trim which adds all the prominent features like automatic headlights, 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, and automatic climate control to the already existing features.
