Toyota Matrix vs. Nissan Cube Review

Utility
Neither the Toyota Matrix nor the Nissan Cube has a marked advantage regarding seating capacity.

Performance
In terms of horsepower, the Toyota Matrix packs quite a punch and will knock the Nissan Cube down a few rungs. On the flip side, bear in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Dimensions
The Nissan Cube and the Toyota Matrix compete for the same parking spaces.

Convenience
You'll quite certainly have to take the Toyota Matrix for a fill-up more often than the Nissan Cube because of its tank size and gas mileage.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Nissan Cube to the dealership as the Toyota. Producing an accurate fuel economy evaluation is so hard that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Nissan Cube is the winner when it comes to fuel economy. When it comes to fuel economy, the Nissan Cube has the Toyota beat. The Toyota Matrix is significantly more expensive than the Nissan when it comes to MSRP. The Toyota will cost you a lots_of_money in gas every year compared to the Nissan.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Nissan Cube and the Toyota Matrix quite certainly handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Nissan Cube and the Toyota Matrix have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the Toyota Matrix.

Comfort
Taller drivers will substantially enjoy the extra head room in the Nissan's front cabin compared to the Toyota Matrix. The Nissan is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the Matrix.

Warranty
The Nissan and the Toyota Matrix have the same basic after-sale protection.
