abstract:The Nissan Cube is a mini MPV produced by Japanese carmaker Nissan since 1998. It has always been sold in Japan, though it has also been sold in North America and Europe since 2009.
The compact NissanCube wagon was already in its third generation when it finally came to the U.S. for the 2009 model year, and was wildly popular among younger buyers back in Japan.
Small wagons like the Kia Soul, MINI Cooper Countryman, NissanCube and Scion xB stand out as particularly funky, yet no less utilitarian, modes of transport that are well suited for blossoming young families.
The extremely square styling of the car was the most distinguishing feature of the Scion brand when it debuted, but over the last few years a number of competitors finally have copied the idea including Nissan, with Cube, and Kia, with Soul.
