Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) today announced that the all-new 2009
Nissan cube® 1.8 will feature a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested
Retail Price (MSRP)* of $13,990 when it goes on sale in early May. Nissan
also debuted a specialty vehicle model – the cube® 1.8 Kr?m. The
new cube® Kr?m, developed by NNA’s new Specialty Vehicles Group,
features exclusive exterior and interior treatments, elevating cube®’s
unique styling to a sportier, more aggressive dimension. The 2009 Nissan
cube® will now be offered in four versions, cube® 1.8,
cube® 1.8 S, cube® 1.8 SL and cube® 1.8
Kr?m.
In addition, Nissan announced that the cube will be available
with more than 40 individual accessories, ranging from a unique 20-color
interior illumination kit and “shag carpeting” instrument panel inserts to
aerodynamic body kits and custom 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels – allowing
cube owners to personalize their vehicles to reflect their own tastes and
personalities.
A new “Reserve Your cube” program, which allows consumers to
research and reserve the cube of their choice, will begin later in the
month, following the release of complete cube model and option package
pricing.
Exclusive Nissan cube® Krom Model
While every 2009 Nissan cube makes a bold statement against
the backdrop of look-alike entry-level vehicles, the cube Krom is a standout
with exclusive exterior and interior treatments designed to add character
without overwhelming the innovative cube design. The cube Krom starts with
the extensive list of cube 1.8 S model standard features, then adds a 3-bar
chrome grille, 2-bar chrome front bumper grille, fully integrated front and
rear fascias, body side sills, unique rear roof spoiler, exclusive 16-inch
aluminum-alloy wheels and Krom rear emblem.
Inside, the cube Krom offers Bluetooth®
Hands-free Phone System, leather-wrapped steering wheel, woven black and
gray seat cloth, an upgraded audio system with six speakers and Rockford
Fosgate subwoofer, Interface System for iPod®, Titanium
interior trim accents, sporty aluminum trimmed pedals, Automatic
Temperature Control, interior illumination system and more.
Like every cube model, the cube Kr?o offers unexpected
power and ease of driving provided by an advanced 122-horsepower
1.8-liter DOHC inline 4-cylinder with a projected fuel economy of 30 mpg
Highway. The cube Krom comes with a standard new-generation Nissan
Xtronic CVTÔ (Continuously Variable Transmission) for good acceleration
response, smooth operation and fuel efficiency.
“The cube Krom is unmistakable, with its unique exterior
treatments and interior enhancements, it takes the already standout cube
and raises the “cool” factor even more,” said Al Castignetti, vice
president and general manager, Nissan Division, NNA. “For those
consumers that love the cube but are looking for a little something
extra, the cube Krom offers that and then some.”
The cube Krom was developed by Nissan North America’s
Specialty Vehicles Group, which also developed the sporty Nissan NISMO
350Z. Krom models are converted in a unique area of the cube assembly
facility.
A “Personalized” Approach to Accessories
Inside and out, the new Nissan cube offers an inspiring
canvas for personalization. A centerpiece of the new cube’s appeal is
its “social space” interior that offers room for five in a lounge-like
comfort. Along with its open occupant space, “floating meter pod”
driver’s area and “lounge sofa” style sliding and reclining rear bench
seat, the cube interior is available with a long list of innovative
accessories.
Among the items designed to accentuate cube’s unique
design approach are “shag dash topper” instrument panel inserts, which
fit into the top center of the instrument panel; “Front Door Bungees,”
which are colorful elastic straps that slip into cutouts on the door
armrests to secure items such as maps and photos; and an Interior
Illumination Kit, which provides a changeable 20-color palette of accent
lighting under the instrument panel and in the center console cupholder.
Other interior accessories include illuminated stainless kick
plates, drilled stainless pedal covers, rear cargo area organizer and
interior trim appliqués available in four body-matching colors and a sleek,
carbon fiber look. Exterior accessories include a front chin spoiler, rear
underspoiler, side body sills, rear roof spoiler, 16-inch aluminum-alloy
wheels, nose mask, side window deflectors, vehicle cover and fog lights.
For added convenience, a number of accessories have been
grouped into special packages – the Interior Designer Package, the Interior
Illumination Package and the Ginormous Package, featuring a range of items
including the aero body kit, interior accent lighting and interior
appliqués.
“Enthusiasm is building for cube – it’s unique, it’s fun,
it’s functional, and it makes being “square” hip again,” said Castignetti. “Consumers
in the market are excited about a product like this. If you take the cube’s
distinctive styling, utility, and efficiency and add a starting MSRP of
$13,990, it’s easy to see why.”
