The Quest is a highly versatile minivan with unique styling,
referred to by Nissan as a "celebration of family life." It features
three rows of seating for seven occupants, as well as available power
sliding side doors and a power rear liftgate for ease of access.
The front-wheel drive Quest is offered in four trim levels: S,
SV, SL and LE. It is powered by a 260-hp 3.5-liter V6 engine, mated to a
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). Trim-dependent standard
features include aluminum wheels, roof rails, HID headlights, dual-zone
automatic climate control, leather upholstery, heated front seats,
satellite radio and Bluetooth hands-free phone/audio streaming, along
with navigation and entertainment systems. The third-row 60/40
split-bench seat can be folded neatly into a floor well, providing a
handy flat surface when carrying cargo. Standard safety equipment on
every Quest includes anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, stability
and traction control systems, a tire pressure monitor and six airbags; a
rear backup monitor is also available.
Completely revamped last year, the Nissan Quest carries over
with minimal changes. For 2012, satellite radio is now standard
equipment on SV and SL trims.
