Full 2014 Nissan Quest Review

What's New for 2014

For 2014, the Nissan Quest receives no changes.

 

Introduction

Despite (or maybe because of) its rather unique styling, the 2014 Nissan Quest often gets overlooked by minivan shoppers. That's too bad, because chances are most families would like the Quest if they gave it a chance. Thanks to its strong, seamless acceleration and relatively agile handling, the Quest is anything but a chore to drive, while long trips are taken in comfort thanks to its well-tuned suspension and relaxing seating.

Unlike pretty much every other minivan, the Quest's third-row seat folds down forward (rather than backward). The second-row seats do the same (like those in most crossover SUVs). This configuration makes it easier to switch the Nissan back and forth from passenger- to cargo-hauling duties than its more popular competition, which require manual removal of the second-row seats.

There are a few potential downsides to the Quest's seating configuration, however. Whereas most competitors offer a choice of either a three-passenger split bench seat or a pair of captain's chairs in the second row, the Quest offers only the latter. This makes for a maximum passenger capacity of seven, versus eight for those that offer a second-row bench. Also, those nifty flat-folding seats result in less maximum cargo space than rival minivans.
