Like the Cube, the Cubic is insurable via many mainstream companies. But we have found that specialist brokers are able to give better customers service and have the product knowledge to make sure you are insured correctly. Usually, their premiums are also amongst the most competitive with a specific Cube and Cubic policy being available with some brokers.

There are several brokers who operate specialist schemes and who have based the cars on their own grouping system. As a guide, Mark Richard Insurance has advised that they base the “Z11” Cubic on a comparison to an ABI insurance group 6.

To obtain a quotation for insurance, we can recommend the following specialist brokers:-

There were options of either automatic or CVT gearboxes - the CVT sold as a cost option and featured a stearing wheel paddle shift manual mode.

When the first facelift appeared in 2005, a new enine was introduced - a 1498cc petrol engine known as the "HR15DE" and only available with a new CVT transmission. The "CR14DE" engine continued to be sold but the CVT option was dropped.

The issue with the Cube and Cubic never officially being sold in the UK has always voiced concerns with current and potential owners regarding spare parts availability.

Almost all the parts you do not physically see are shared with other Nissan models built on a global platform to save cost. The majority of Cube mechanical / electrical parts are shared with the Micra and Note. Therefore, these parts are usually available from suppliers on a same day basis.

If a unique part is required and only available in Japan, it can be supplied in around 5 days if in stock at the factory.

There are also companies specialising in the supply of used parts in the UK that has proved popular to save cost - typically body parts like wing mirrors which can be even supplied in body colour subject to availability with next day delivery.
