2010 Nissan cube 1.8 S Krõm Edition Review

And once you actually start using it, you notice that the cube’s cargo area isn’t that practical. For one thing, the sill is quite high. So is the gap between the sill and the floor (27 cm). Finally, like in the Versa Hatchback, once you’ve folded down the asymmetrical rear seats, you have to deal with a two-level cargo area, with 33 cm separating the floor from the folded seat backs. Nissan offers an optional storage system ($326) that creates a flat loading area.

Of course, these practical considerations will no doubt come in a distant second for the already-convinced buyer attracted first and foremost by the Krõm’s image.
