2014 Nissan cube: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Nissan cube was a carryover with no major product changes. Its main distinction is that it was the cube’s final model year in the U.S.
About the 2014 Nissan cube
3rd generation (2009-2014 U.S.), final U.S. model year.
Nissan positioned the cube as a small car for people who wanted personality without giving up everyday usefulness. The pitch was a roomy, lounge-like cabin inside a short city-friendly footprint, with easy entry, good outward visibility, and flexible rear seating. Versus more conventional small hatchbacks, the cube stood out through its unusual shape, side-hinged rear door, and social, open-feeling interior rather than sporty driving or maximum fuel economy.
The 2014 cube remained a small, upright wagon with front-wheel drive, a roomy cabin, and a 60/40-split rear seat that slides and reclines. The S covered the basics with Bluetooth, cruise control, and remote keyless entry, while the SL added a CVT, push-button start, automatic climate control, automatic headlights, and alloy wheels.

“I bought the Cube because it was quirky. It had very comfortable seats and a roomy interior. I had no choice of vehicle or color. There was only one Cube available and I had to wait a month to get it.”
