Nissan claims that the updated Quest is a true "parents' car" that both Mom and Dad will enjoy.
Of the updated Japanese large minivans, the Quest is the third to market. Available features include power sliding doors and liftgate.
As expected, the Quest seats seven with second- and third-row seats that fold to a flat loading floor.
The Quest's high snub nose reminds us more than a little of the Toyota Sienna's box-like silhouette. We're sure it's just a coincidence.
The 2011 Quest is built on the same D-platform that is the foundation of the current Nissan Maxima and Altima sedans and Murano crossover SUV, but with a longer 118.1-inch wheelbase (200.8-inches overall).
Passengers interact with the cabin tech package via a 4.3-inch color audio display on SV and SL models or an 8-inch touch-screen display for LE models with navigation. The navigation system is hard-drive-based with 9.3GB dedicated to music storage, XM NavTraffic Real-Time Traffic Information, XM NavWeather, and Zagat Survey Restaurant Guide.
Don't expect any surprises under the hood; Nissan's stalwart VQ-series 3.5-liter DOHC V-6 make yet another appearance here, sending 253 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque through a CVT to the front wheels.
The Quest looks a bit like a brick on wheels, but Nissan claims that the Quest S model's 0.32 Cd makes it more aerodynamic than it appears.
Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system and RearView Monitor technology are both available on the new Quest.
The Nissan Quest joins the Ellure concept and the Murano CrossCabriolet at the 2010 LA Auto Show.
