The 2010 model year brings new standard features and slightly higher prices for three out of four models in the Nissan Cube range. All models (Base, S, SL and Krom Edition), are powered by a 122HP 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that can be linked to either Nissan’s Xtronic CVT or a 6-speed manual transmission. The starting MSRP, which doesn’t include applicable tax, title and license fees, has remained unchanged from 2009 at $13,990 for the 1.8 Base model.
The ‘S’ trim level is now priced from $15,030 (+$340 over the 2009MY Cube) but gains Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, Interface System for iPod, MP3 CD-ROM playback capacity, Radio Data System (RDS), speed-sensitive volume control (SSV) and two additional speakers (six total) as standard for 2010.
Next up is the ‘SL’ that is priced from $16,790 (+$340). For 2010, Nissan has added a Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, leather-wrapped steering wheel and steering wheel audio controls on the SL’s standard equipment.
Finally, the top-of-the-line Krom Edition gets a new 4.3-inch color audio display with USB connectivity and RearView Monitor, along with Nissan’s Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition as standard equipment. The 1.8 S Krom Edition is priced at $20,120 which represents a $750 increase over the 2009MY version.
*PS; Did anyone notice something weird growing out of the Cube’s dashboard?
