2007 Nissan Quest Advance Concept of Flexibility and Spontaneity

2007 Nissan Quest - Front Side

Press Release:

Redesigned from the inside out, the Nissan Quest offers new levels of quality, innovation, performance and style for 2007 with a completely revised interior, a refined exterior and numerous comfort and convenience feature enhancements. What hasn’t changed is Quest’s position as the most distinctive and original minivan on the market.

Changes to the Quest exterior include a new grille and front bumper fascia, new rear combination lights, revised roof rack design, new 16-inch and 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels and side sills have been added on the 3.5SE model.

The 2007 Quest interior offers a totally redesigned instrument panel, with the gauges moved directly in front of the driver (from the previous central location). A new center console is available with the Technology Package. The 2007 Quest continues to offer exceptional interior flexibility, with fold-down 2nd and 3rd row seats and one of the largest storage spaces (148.7 cubic feet) in the front-wheel drive minivan segment. The 3rd row seat now features integrated auto-folding headrests and spring assist for easier operation.

Other interior enhancements for 2007 include available Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System, an in-dash CD6 autochanger with MP3 playback and auxiliary audio input, larger 8-inch DVD screens and a new “Chili” interior color. A RearView Monitor and Rear Sonar System are also available.

The new Quest once again provides sedan-like power and handling from its standard 240-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine, improved 5-speed automatic transmission, 4-wheel Anti-Lock disc brakes and responsive suspension design.

Standard safety features include Nissan’s Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) with dual-stage supplemental front air bags and roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags to help protect 1st, 2nd and 3rd row outboard occupants in side-impact collisions, front seat Active Head Restraints and Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS). Supplemental front seat-mounted air bags are also available.

The new 2007 Quest, which went on sale in May 2006, is offered in four well-equipped models – 3.5, 3.5S, 3.5SL and 3.5SE.
