2014 Nissan Cube Phoenix AZ
Goodbye is always that hardest part. At Avondale Nissan, we slowly let our fleet of vehicles into our hearts (inasmuch as an auto dealership can have a beating heart), and sometimes, we find that a vehicle will be ending its run. And so it is with the Nissan Cube, a vehicle that embodies its name as perhaps no other vehicle ever has. Our embattled little wagon will end its US production following the 2014 model year, and this news has us feeling a little down in our collective mouths. So here it is, a bit of a tribute to one of the most eye-catching vehicles of our time, and one that is still available at Avondale Nissan for the time being, the 2014 Nissan Cube.
(Clearing throat.)
The Nissan Cube arrived on the scene (on American markets, at least) six short years ago, and its raison d’etre was right there in its name. It didn’t hide behind a razzle-dazzle name, and it didn’t have to; its styling was allowed to do most of the talking. It combined broad symmetricality with a significant eye toward throwing something funky into the mix: the rear wrap-around glass and the somewhat retro interior design, to name two items that spring immediately to mind.
On the road, the performance is just as you’d expect from a vehicle so obviously feisty. A 1.8L four-cylinder engine delivering 122 energetic horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque is an ideal fit for a vehicle of this stature, and the maneuverability of the Cube was accordingly agile. Meanwhile, with comfortable seating for five and up to 58 cubic feet of passenger volume, the Cube is spacious in all the right places.
It would be silly to mention the interior of the Cube without touching on the many unique factors found therein, beginning with the quirky wave-like design flourishes throughout. Feeling even more expressive? Then perhaps you’d enjoy the available 20-color mood lighting, perfect for days both great and greater.
The 2014 Nissan Cube, in all its eccentric splendor, is still available at Avondale Nissan, but it won’t be for long. Now is the time to find yourself in one of the most interesting vehicles in recent memory; test drive the 2014 Nissan Cube today!
