| Nissan Quest 2007 2007 Nissan Quest Features Redesigned Interior, Revised Exterior and Enhanced Quality
Just three years after its introduction in mid-2003, the Nissan Quest minivan has undergone a major transformation for the 2007 model year - complete with a redesigned interior, refined exterior appearance, new high quality materials and attention to detail, and an array of new available features including Bluetooth Hands-Free Phone System and an in-dash CD6 with MP3 playback and auxiliary audio input.
Unchanged is Quest's position as the most distinctive and original minivan on the market today. 2007 Nissan Quest also remains one of the roomiest front-wheel drive minivans in its segment, with the widest opening doors for easy access to the standard Fold-Away 2nd and 3rd row seats. For 2007, the 3rd row seat now offers integrated auto-folding headrests and spring assist for easier operation.
"When Quest was introduced, it redefined the segment with its emphasis on combining car-like performance, innovative style, sporty appearance and exceptional practicality and versatility," said Bill Bosley, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division. "The enhancements for 2007, which represent one of the largest mid-cycle investments in Nissan history, make the Quest more flexible and accommodating than ever - keeping pace with the evolving needs and desires of minivan users."
The new 2007 Quest went on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide in May 2006.
An All-New Instrument Panel For 2007
The most visible change to the 2007 Nissan Quest is the instrument panel, which has been totally redesigned to provide a more traditional layout than the original. The large gauges have been moved directly in front of the driver, from the previous central location. The shifter lever for 2007 Nissan Quest's standard 5-speed automatic transmission is located in the center portion of the instrument panel, below the revised, available center-mounted 7.0-inch color information display screen.
An advanced DVD-based Nissan Navigation System with 7.0-inch color display is also offered. In addition, the new instrument panel features a revised Human Machine Interface (HMI) design for the available dual-zone HVAC controls, an integrated sunglass holder and lower center storage compartment. The right side of the instrument panel includes a new, larger glove compartment.
Another addition for 2007 is an available fixed center console between the front seats (offered with Technology Package). The center console includes a large storage box with a hidden lower compartment. Quest models without the fixed center console feature a front row folding tray table. New trim - in either a faux wood style or brushed metallic finish - has been added, along with chrome bezels surrounding gauges and other trim pieces.
"The new Quest interior provides a great space for the driver, with an incredible attention to the layout and the look, tactile feel and smooth operation of all the controls and switches," said Bosley. "There's a real sense of the enhanced quality that comes through both visually and tactilely."
