There's nothing else quite like the xB today.
But the Nissan Cube and Kia Soul are probably closest.
The Soul is more like a tall-and-boxy version of a small hatchback, and it drives that way as well.
The Cube has some of the same flaws as the xB; it doesn't contain as much cargo space as you might expect, although its seating is very comfortable.
The sharp-handling MINI Cooper Clubman rivals the xB in size and accessories, but it costs thousands of dollars more.
The quirky Nissan Juke also ranks as an alternative to the xB, although it's markedly less practical and has more of a sporty tack.

The 2014 Nissan Cube is a boxy fashion statement that puts an emphasis on style, but at the expense of some practicality. |
