Nissan Cube (Z12 series)
The Z12 shape Nissan Cube was introduced in late 2008, replacing the earlier and slightly boxier shape 2002 - 2008 Z11 Cube which had been extremely popular. The new Cube took cues from the previous model which owners clearly responded to such as the square design which makes the interior far more spacious than you'd expect, and the unique asymitrical rear window with the side hinged rear door.
The Z12 was the first Cube to be sold in markets outside of Japan including the UK and the US, though they had some engine options that Japan did not get. This makes parts availability and access to English information about these cars far easier to come by.
Z12 Cubes comes in a 5 seater only with 1.5L engine which outputs 80kW (110hp) through an XTronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) which results in average fuel economy figures of 19.6km / L (5.1L / 100km). There is also a 4WD version which has electric motors for the rear wheels that work in conjunction with the traction and stability control system, and activate when there is a loss of traction.
