More practical and more comfortable than an SUV, the Nissan Quest was a minivan that looked and felt different from any other available options on the market.
Why?
Aesthetically, the Quest featured a big grille reminiscent of the sporty Nissan Maxima, while looking from the sides, the Quest had bold fender flares that ran along the shoulder line and curved up to the rear. The Quest did not feature a flat roof as most minivans do, thus the vehicle looked smaller than it actually was.
Fitted with the V6 engine, the Quest was also enjoyable to drive. The unit was borrowed from the 350Z sports car and was mated with a 5-speed automatic transmission that was as smooth as the ones that came with luxurious cars.
The Nissan Quest was available in three trim levels: S, SL and SE. The base model featured air-conditioning, dual sliding doors, power mirrors, 16-inch steel alloys and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Bigger alloy wheels could be ordered with a package that also added a rear sonar system for an extra fee.
With the SL trim level, the Quest was equipped with 16-inch alloys, adjustable foot pedals, a power sliding door on the right, a power liftgate and more features with an optional package that included side-impact air bags, heated front seats and the rear sonar system.
Moving to the top-of-the-range, the package included 17-inch alloys, a Vehicle Dynamic Control anti-skid system, a 5-speed automatic transmission, a 10-speaker premium sound system, Skyview rear roof panels, dual-zone climate control, full-length rear overhead console and a power roof.
