Not to be outdone by new offerings from Toyota , Honda and Chrysler , Nissan has unveiled its all-new fourth-generation Quest minivan. Nissan pulled the Quest from its 2010 lineup, but the automaker's people hauler has returned for the current model year.

Following the design language laid out by the the Nissan Forum concept, the all-new Quest features more conventional styling than the outgoing van, which should make it more appealing to a wider range of buyers. The Quest’s shape is also one of the most aerodynamic in the segment, recording a 0.32 Cd in the wind tunnel.

The Quest’s interior has also been much improved for the latest model year, now featuring a modern design inspired by "fluid sculpture," one-touch power sliding rear doors, 2nd row power windows, removable second row console, an advanced climate control system, standard theater seating with an available 11-inch color monitor and dual moonroofs.

In addition to standard chrome door handles, rear roof spoiler and chrome license plate finisher, available exterior features include High Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon headlights, auto on/off headlight function, fog lights, and dual power heated outside mirrors.

Quest also features small triangle windows in the front doors to help enhance visibility. Available on Quest SL and LE models are dual opening glass moonroofs that contribute to the open, airy atmosphere of the Quest interior for all passengers.

The new Quest is offered with power sliding side doors with selective unlock function and one-touch open/unlock feature and power-opening windows. Also, due to the way the Quest's door rail system is designed, the sliding door step-in height is lower than competitive minivans.

This is especially helpful for small children or older adults getting into the 2nd or 3rd rows.

Power for the Quest is provided by Nissan’s tried and true 3.5-liter V6, generating 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. Shifting duties are handled by Nissan’s Xtronic CVT gearbox. Fuel economy is rated at 18 city and 24 highway miles per gallon.

Quest is available in four trim levels: S, SV, SL and LE.
