Nissan has introduced a new beast into the line of mini-vans, the 2009 Nissan Quest. This 7-passenger van uses the 3.5 L, 60-Degree, 24-valve, DOHC, SEFI engine that instills it with 235 hp of power at 5800 rpm. The torque production is 240 lb-ft at 440 rpm. The transmission is the 5-speed, automatic transmission, operated electronically. What makes the Quest the-one-of-its-type van is its whole, new design.
The interior has carpet located on the passenger and cabin space. The cloth seats consist of front, dual, reclining bucket seats with the driver seat having 8-way adjust-ability. The interior lighting includes delayed courtesy light, the reading lights at the rear and cargo space lighting. The fuel door opens via remote control and the key-less entry system operates through the key fob.
It shape has a certain polarisation about it. The shape of the Quest has taken many a reviewers by surprise. They are all praise about the way it has come out of the design shop. The Quest has a front-air dam, rear step-up bumper and body colur bumpers at the front and rear. For a mini-van, the doors of the Quest are manual sliding doors. The lighting on the exterior includes cornering lights and halogen headlamps.
The Quest provides a “multi-function” remote that operates the anti-theft system, the door locks and power windows. The steering is of the rack and pinion set, with variable assistance. The instrumentation includes the common utilities like the trip computer, the digital clock and the tachometer. One notable feature of the interior is the charcoal air filter in the Quest. The van also has manual air-conditioning facility. All these facilities are part of the base trim of the Quest, the Nissan Quest 3.5. This model carries a fair price tag of $25,950. The 3.5 SE is the top-rated trim at $35,650.
