Car and Driver
The Nissan Cube still hasn't been crash-tested by the federal government, but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has tested the Cube in all of its test categories and given it a top 'good' score in each, including the new roof-crush test. It's one of the few small vehicles to be named a Top Safety Pick under the more stringent qualifications for the award.
There's also nothing major missing from the Cube's feature set, which includes standard active head restraints; side and side-curtain airbags; electronic stability control, and anti-lock brakes with Brake Assist.
Thanks to the expanded corner window and large side mirrors, outward visibility from the driver's seat is quite good.
Conclusion
With a good list of safety features, as well as top crash-test results, the 2011 Nissan Cube is safer than most other subcompacts.
