In late spring 2005, Nissan, along with the modernization of the second-generation Cube compact station wagon, restyled the Cube Cubic. The car has a slightly changed appearance. In the front of the body, the design of the bumper and headlights of the head optics has changed. The design of the radiator grill has changed - the slots in it have become round. At the rear of the car, new combined lights are striking, decorated with crystal lenses with LEDs. In addition, new body colors have been added. The most significant change was that now the Cube Cubic can be equipped with a new, more powerful HR15DE engine (1.5 liter, 109 hp), which has proven itself on the Nissan Tiida and Note models. The new engine updated Cube Cubic received immediately in two versions - with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. In the first case - in combination with a CVT, in the second - with an automatic transmission. Recall that the model, like the Cube, was developed on the basis of Nissan March, but the Cube Cubic has an increased center distance of 170 mm, which made it possible to install a third row of seats in the cabin.
 Distinctive features of the machine (in addition to an additional row of seats) are: an elongated body, a modified design of the front decorative grille, the situation inside the cabin, the distribution of niches and pockets for storing small items. If you expand the seats of the second and third row, you can load a fair amount of luggage into the cabin. The good thing is that the seats themselves are laid out and configured very simply. Changes in the interior of the updated Nissan Cube Cubic 2005-2006 include an upgraded dashboard, new seat upholstery materials. The basic equipment of the 14S will offer power accessories, a remote key plus a set of options, and the initial versions of the 15M and 15S FOUR 4WD with a 1.5-liter engine - a standard CD player. With the V-Selection package, which is available for these versions, the car is equipped with a non-contact Intelligent Key access system, a new headlight dimming system, front fog lights, and a three-spoke steering wheel trimmed with genuine leather. RS version will offer alloy wheels, climate control, tinted windows. Rider cars with styling from Autech Japan still occupy a special position. As the base engine for the updated Nissan Cube Cubic 2005-2006, the previous CR14DE unit remains. In-line, 4-cylinder, DOHC type, with a working volume of 1.4 liters (1386 cc), it gives a maximum power of 97-98 hp. (at 5600 rpm) and a maximum torque of 136 Nm (at 3200 rpm). Equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission, this motor is now only offered in front-wheel drive modifications. The more powerful versions in the updated Nissan Cube Cubic lineup are equipped with a 1.5-liter HR15DE engine - it works with an automatic transmission or X-tronic CVT-M6 variator with the possibility of manual control in a 6-speed mode. The engine of the new family has a power reserve of 109 “forces” (at 6000 rpm) and a torque of 148 Nm (at 4400 rpm). With this engine, the Cube Cubic is able to run on one liter of gasoline up to 14.6 km in all-wheel drive and up to 17.8 km with a CVT and front-wheel drive. In the basic front-wheel drive modification - up to 16 km. The capacity of the fuel tank is 41 liters.

 The Nissan Cube Cubic has independent front and rear semi-independent suspension. It is equipped with a gear rack type steering with electric power, disc front brakes and rear drum brakes. Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (with an e-4WD system that drives the rear wheels with an electric motor). The dimensions of the body are as follows: length - 3995 mm, width - 1670 mm, height - 1640-1670 mm. The wheelbase has a size increased to 2600 mm. The minimum turning radius is slightly larger (4.7 m) than the standard Cube (4.4 m), but it still allows the car to easily maneuver in tight spaces. Nissan Cube Cubic comes standard with R14 or R15 wheels. Ground clearance - 140-150 mm. Thanks to the increased length and sophisticated system for transforming the seats of the third row, the luggage compartment here is even more spacious and comfortable than the base model Nissan Cube. Larger and the opening of the back door, and the floor is flush with the lower threshold.

 The standard equipment of all Nissan Cube Cubic trim levels includes two front airbags (side airbags are optional), an anti-lock brake system with an electronic brake force distributor and brake assist, seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters, child seat fasteners. The body has zones of programmed deformation, stiffeners in the doors, guaranteeing a high level of protection for the driver and passengers in a collision.

 Compared to the Nissan Cube, the more functional Cube in Cube deserves the highest praise for its spaciousness. The car has an easily convertible interior and plenty of storage space. There are also disadvantages: a tendency to corrosion, although the suspension is quite comfortable, it is rather weak and needs attention. In addition, the dimensions and weight (about 100 kg), increased compared with the usual “Cube”, somewhat worsened the driving performance of the model. But the version with a 1.5-liter engine is less noticeable.
