FRANKLIN, Tennessee — Nissan hiked the price of the 2012 Cube on Wednesday and announced that it will offer the Cube in three models instead of four.
The 2012 Nissan Cube starts at $15,760, reflecting a $260 price increase. The price includes a $780 destination charge, which has been increased by $20 for the new model year.
The Nissan Cube 1.8 S Krom Edition has been dropped from the lineup for 2012. The Krom Edition was priced at $22,400. The top-of-the-line Cube is now the 2012 Cube 1.8 SL, which starts at $19,300, including shipping.
The mid-range 2012 Nissan Cube 1.8 S starts at $17,200 for the manual-transmission model.
The carryover Cube includes a new 1.8 S Indigo Limited Edition, which adds $1,900 to the bottom line of the 1.8 S. This version gets an Indigo seat color, a navigation system, rearview Monitor, Rockford Fosgate audio, Nissan Intelligent Key and 15-inch aluminum-alloy wheels.
Nissan Intelligent Key is now standard on SL models. Five new exterior colors will be offered for 2012. They include Pearl White, Brilliant Silver, Gun Metallic, Cayenne Red and Bali Blue.
The Cube gets a standard 122-hp 1.8-liter DOHC four-cylinder engine linked to either a continuously variable transmission or a six-speed manual transmission.
Inside Line says: Weak sales doesn't appear to have deterred Nissan when it comes to pricing the Cube.

I rented one of these once because the choice was the Cube or a yellow 4x4 Silverado crew cab. More impressed than I expected to be. Great visibility and it holds a lot of stuff.

@ttbuyer
really, the inly peoeple i see driving this thing is old people...so they really would not care for the ride or anything or having the confusion of 4 models instaed of three. However, "they" usually do look at the price so that does suprise me that they raised it for the cubes "select" customers.n offence to those who fit this title.
Also, that gun metallic i dont know what that color could look like becuse they dont have it anywhere...even in the website.if anybody knows please tell or show me. thx

Nissan should have either offered the new 1.6l or the 2.0l from the sentra. The 1.8 is prone to failure and get's horrible gas mileage. Both nissan's 1.6 and 2.0 seem to get much better real world mpg. With such horrible sales they needed to do something other then raise the price.

I like the design because it's not like everything else on the road, but it is VERY boring to drive.
