Nissan Cube at the Geneva Motor Show

The 3rd generation Nissan Cube will be introduced for the first time in Europe at the Geneva Motor show from the 3rd to the 13th March 2009. Spotlighted in a gigantic white Cube, the Nissan Cube stand will be a space dedicated to the art of “Slow car” living presenting objects by designers, artists and fashion creators from the Slow trend. A cultural slant that conveys the unconventional spirit and identity of the Nissan Cube.

Nissan Cube goes global

The all-new third generation Cube’s asymmetrical design and lounge-style interior provide unexpected charm and witty functionality

In 2002, an all-new second generation Nissan Cube was introduced in the Japanese market. More spacious inside, more glass outside, with more power and, more importantly, a few more angles and curved surface details added to its compact, slab-sided exterior. Quintessentially Japanese, this new Cube took Tokyo by storm. The Nissan Cube soon found an audience outside of Japan through its exposure in fashion and automotive magazines, videos and on the Web.

Slow design

The Cube interior is offered in two colour environments, Black and Beige. Both trims come with a quilted suede-like fabric with special “natural wave” stitching designed to provide a combination of relaxation and genuine “driving enjoyment” attitude. The 2009 Nissan Cube is available in several eye-catching colours, with evocative names like Witty Military, White Pearl, Sea Turquoise and Bitter Chocolate.

Cube’s clever, inspired and surprisingly open occupant space was conceived with a “Jacuzzi Curve” layout and “floating meter pod” driver’s area. It combines “casual lounge”-style passenger seating with a relaxed driving experience. The interactive interior is anchored by its curve-themed architecture, such as the subtle wavy shaping of the instrument panel, door panels, seat shapes, and the iconic “Water Drop” that can be seen in the cupholders and the climate control design. They are inspired by nature and the calming way that ripples move outward from a drop in water.

CUBED TV : Live on the Internet

Reserved for the press, the Nissan Cube stand will all the same be accessible to the general public via Cubed TV (http://cubedtv.com), broadcasting live from the stand and which for the last week has already been creating a buzz in the blogs and on Facebook, with a dedicated group of several hundred fans!

From the 3rd March, you will be able to follow all the latest from the Nissan Cube stand on Twitter, the new microblogging tool used by Barack Obama for his presidential campaign, as well as on Seesmic, the video platform created by Loïc Lemeur which enables internet surfers to react directly to the Cubed TV programme via a webcam.
