2016 Nissan Quest in Columbus, GA - $0

The fourth generation Nissan Quest is designed to take on the toughest job on the planet: parenting. The 2016 Nissan Quest minivan offers an extensive list of family-friendly features – from its sophisticated styling with full surround glass that provides an airy, open interior environment to one-touch power sliding doors, quick release fold-flat 2nd and 3rd row seats, Advanced Climate Control System, and an always-available rear storage well.

The Quest exterior styling combines fluid sculptural elements with crafted details to provide a bold approach to minivan design. In front, the bumper, horizontal grille and headlights blend into the dramatic side character line and distinctive wheel forms filled with standard 16-inch or 18-inch wheels. The door sections and surfaces flow seamlessly into the rear boomerang taillights and tailgate finisher, helping create a look as if Quest was carved from one solid piece of sculptor’s stone. 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. In addition, a one-touch unlock/open power rear liftgate is standard on Quest SL and Platinum models.

Enhancements for the 2016 model year include the addition of roof rails as standard equipment on SV grade. The 2016 Quest is offered in four well-equipped models – S, SV, SL and Platinum.

Power for the Quest minivan is generated by the VQ35DE 3.5L V6 engine. The engine incorporates a twin Nissan Variable Induction Control System (NICS), micro-finished camshaft and crankshaft surfaces, reduced internal friction, resin intake manifold, forged crankshaft, digital knock control system, high capacity muffler and lightweight aluminum block and cylinder heads. Backing the engine is a revised version of Nissan’s advanced Xtronic transmission with D-Step Shift Logic and Adaptive Shift Control (ASC), which provides a responsive driving experience and the smoothness that only a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) offers.

Quest’s “innovative functionality” starts with the proven foundation of Nissan’s advanced D-platform. With its long wheelbase and overall length, Quest offers both a roomy interior and a highly maneuverable overall size. The Nissan minivan’s secure, responsive handling feel is provided by the four-wheel independent control hardware with independent strut with coil springs and stabilizer bar in front and a multi-link design in rear.

Inside the passenger cabin features a wide instrument panel that includes a 5.0-inch color audio display on SV and SL models. Quest Platinum models feature an 8-inch touch screen display for the standard Nissan Navigation System. The hard drive-based navigation system includes a user-friendly graphic interface, menu structure and intelligent search capabilities. The easy-to-use convenience of the Quest also carries over into the quick release fold-flat 2nd and 3rd row seats. The 60/40-split 3rd row seat can be switched from upright to fold-flat position with the simple pull of one strap (Quest S, SV, SL) or push of a button (Quest Platinum). The Platinum model also includes 3rd row power return seatback. A spring assist aids the manual fold and return operation. The 2nd row bucket seats also feature easy-fold/return operation, and there is a standard 2nd row walk-in device for easier access to the 3rd row.

In addition, the theater-style interior layout with raised 2nd and 3rd rows provides occupants with excellent visibility and a good view of the available 11-inch WVGA family entertainment system display monitor. The comfortable 2nd row Captain’s Chair style seats include dual armrests, recline, and fore/aft adjustability, while the 3rd row 60/40-split bench includes recline and 3-way adjustable headrests.
