New Nissan CUBE
Cube is the shape everyone will be talking about in 2010, as Nissan’s global cult car is set to take over the UK’s city streets.
Nothing about Nissan’s new Cube is conventional. Chic, classy, timeless design has never been provided in a less pretentious package. Turning its back on the average look-a-like model, the Cube offers a unique solution for 21st century drivers.
The Cube has been conceived as a totally different take on an automobile. From the ground up it challenges convention, placing function ahead of form. Inside there’s a lounge-style space for five with a clever, inspired and surprisingly open occupant space with a ‘Jacuzzi Curve’ layout offering a space for relaxing, travelling and socialising.
A large triple-layered glass roof is fitted as standard, giving a light and airy atmosphere throughout the cabin. As well as the traditional blind to prevent heat build up on sunny days, there is a shoji shade, inspired by traditional Japanese shades made of rice paper which can be drawn across the sunroof, allowing light to enter but minimising heat build up.
This unique approach to design has not gone unnoticed in the design world. The Cube has been named one of the 50 cars that changed the world by the London Design Museum, adding further evidence to the Nissan’s case of being a true design icon in its own right.
