Safety

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has designated the 2010 Nissan Cube a Top Safety Pick thanks to its top ratings of Good in all tests: frontal, side and rear impacts, and roof strength. Standard safety features include front, side and curtain airbags, plus antilock brakes with discs in front and drums in the rear. A stability system with traction control is also included.
