Overview
The 2012 Nissan Cube Wagon is a subcompact wagon offered in 3 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $14,980. For that price, it mainly competes with the Kia Soul wagon and the Scion xB Wagon which has the most powerful engine among the bunch. Between 2 trims, the Cube offers a single powertrain. It is a 1.8L Inline-4 making 122 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The Cube reaches 60 mph from zero in 10.5 seconds with the manual transmission, which gets pumped up to 9.5 seconds with the continuously variable transmission. Depending on the powertrain, the Cube can manage a combined fuel economy between 27 and 28 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Cube comes in really pull you towards itself.
