The "Square Boxes" the friendliest
At the moment, they are only three and next year two more will be added in this new niche of vehicles at high and angular shapes, which has both their charm or their ugliness and depending on whether we like it or not this type of vehicle.
They are called Honda Element, Kia Soul and Nissan Cube. Come to join them next year, the Scion xB and xD and maybe the GMC Granite.
More multifunctional as crossover
For comparison, these vehicles offer more cubic cargo space and versatility than a Toyota Matrix five-door, especially when the seat is used. But they are slightly recessed in this chapter in relation to the benefits granted by a compact family vehicle type, such as the Kia Rondo and Mazda5.
Much different clienteles
At its debut, the Honda Element has addressed all especially a young clientele who love active sports, summer and winter, and did not seem very interested in starting a small family in the near future.
But today, things have changed since the marketing Scion xB with our southern neighbors. It quickly became popular and highly prized by trendy young families looking for an original vehicle, versatile and able to offer a quality / price of the most interesting report. Also be said that it is in fact a vehicle Daihatsu property of giant Toyota and designed around the platform and major components of the model Yaris.
A Brossard, we meet from time to time a model Scion xB promotional vehicle for a few traders.
The Kia Soul is both younger, more modern and certainly more beautiful than the Element. Although the Soul addresses also has a young clientele, but I would not be surprised to find driving it, baby boomers whose children have already left home and want to make the most of their leisure time or retirement.
Finally, the Nissan Cube, which has just made its entrance, is intended rather to a clientele that I would define the taste of 'preppy' in search of a high vehicle shape has both luxurious and versatile, that they want to keep for several years. Its wide bezel that extends from the right side of the vehicle, it provides quite a unique look, but whose main mission is to provide visibility to both exemplary and safe driver. However, this surprising aesthetic approach is far from unanimously and could even off potential buyers.
XB Scion and xD
Next year, the Canadian automobile march enrich Scion brand of vehicles, are cubic xB and xD, respectively template sub-compact and compact, as well as cutting tC. The xB is a Toyota Yaris five-door angular and great xD, it is always the core that allows the brand to survive.
General Motors could also join this group to more vehicles and angular forms if one relies on the unveiling of the GMC Granite concept benefited from cubic forms and a very compact size, which are reminiscent of visual approach to these friendly "Square Boxes".
