Nissan to Present Cube Rider Performance and Cube Drive Shot Concepts at Tokyo Salon

Labels:

Among the fifteen modified Nissan models that will make their debut at the upcoming Tokyo Auto Salon 2009, are two concept versions of the all-new 2009 Cube dubbed "Drive Shot" and "Rider High Performance Spec". The most interesting concept of the two is the "Cube Rider High Performance Spec" developed by Autech. Aside from the full bodykit that includes a three-bar chrome grille, new front and rear bumpers, a roof spoiler and decorative decals, the customized Cube also gets different alloy wheels as well as a sport suspension and engine modifications (Nissan did not reveal any details).

The second Cube study, called "Drive Shot Concept", incorporates the dealer-option "Aero Outer" package, featuring a subtle bodykit and new alloys. The concept car is also equipped with what Nissan calls a "Drive Shot" option, that gives the driver the ability to capture images of passing scenery and upload it into the navigation system, with the simple "click" of a button. Talk about useless gadgets...

The unveiling of the third-generation Cube from Nissan at the LA Show marks the beginning of the square-shaped wagon's world career. The new Cube will be available in America from spring 2009, and in Europe and other global markets from fall the same year.

Underneath the hood, whereas the JDM model gets a 1.5-liter engine, the U.S. market Cube will be offered with a 122HP 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder unit mated either to a 6-speed manual gearbox or a new CVT. Nissan says that fuel economy is projected to be over 30mpg Highway with the CVT.

In the U.S., the 2009 Nissan Cube will be offered in three trims: Cube 1.8, Cube 1.8 S and Cube 1.8 SL. Standard equipment on all models will include power windows with driver's side one-touch auto down feature, Remote Keyless Entry system, power door locks with auto-locking feature, variable intermittent windshield wipers and intermittent rear window wiper, rear window defroster with timer, cargo area courtesy light and hooks, 12-volt power outlet and adjustable front seat belt upper anchors.

Nissan Cube

The wait is over for the new "boxy" Cube, or to be precise, nearly over as Nissan has released initial details and a full gallery of the Japanese domestic market (JDM) model but only a mere three high-res images of the U.S.-spec version which will make its debut at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show tomorrow, 19 November. Sales of the new Cube begin in Japan on November 26, followed by North American in the spring of 2009, and Europe and other global markets in fall 2009.

The all-new, third generation of the successful Nissan Cube which has sold nearly one million units to date in Japan since its introduction 1998, retains the characteristic "cubic" and somewhat "toyish" styling as well as the asymmetric rear end of its predecessors. Judging from the pictures that Nissan published, it looks like the U.S.-spec model (pictured above) features a slightly larger front bumper that the JDM model. Inside, the Cube continues the same funky design theme as the exterior with a swoopy dashboard, colorful details and ton-loads of plastic.

Nissan claims that although the new Cube remains less than four meters (under 157-inches) long, it's even roomier than the outgoing model which was sold only in Japan. Other features of the JDM model's interior include sofa-like seating, a large glass roof panel that extends over the driver's seat for an open view of the outside environment, and a shoji-style roof shade.

In what concerns the Japanese market model, the Cube will be powered by a 1.5-liter HR15DE 4-cylinder engine. As with the previous generation models, the new Cube will be offered in both front- and four-wheel drive versions. Prices in Japan range between been 1,449,000 to 1,911,000 yen ($14,900 - $19,700) for the Cube 2WD and 1,687,350 to 1,928,850 yen ($17,300 - $19,800) for the 4WD model.
