Edmunds adds that the Nissan 2010 Cube 1.8 S ups the ante with "color-keyed sideview mirrors, cruise control, upgraded upholstery...two more speakers and a rear cargo cover." Finally, Edmunds reports the top-of-the-line Nissan Cube 1.8 SL brings "automatic climate control, a pair of tweeters, iPod integration, MP3 playback capability and automatic on/off headlights." Prices for the 2010 Nissan Cube are very competitive, with the Los Angeles Times stating that you can find a Nissan Cube "nicely equipped for $13,990, including stability control."
If you've got a little money to burn, TheCarConnection.com's research uncovers some appealing optional features for the Nissan Cube—many of them sold as dealer-installed accessories. USA Today reviewers find that "options are plentiful" on the Nissan Cube, "including a circle of shag carpeting atop the center of the dashboard" and a package "that lets you choose among 20 hues for the interior lighting." Edmunds reviewers also point out that the Nissan Cube features optional "rear park assist, keyless ignition/entry, Bluetooth, the Rockford Fosgate audio system, [and] satellite radio," along with several "dealer-installed customization features."
