Overview

In the realm of midsize vans, the 2014 Nissan Quest is well known. It gives you the capacity to seat 7 people for a starting price of MSRP $26,220. Prices go all the way up to MSRP $42,870, with a total of 4 trims being offered. With gorgeous, and in fact quite roomy, interiors, the Nissan Quest offers seating for up to 7 people. There is a single engine on offer, which is a 3.5L V6 engine, attached to a continuously variable automatic transmission, that makes 260 horsepower, and 240 lb-ft of torque. This returns a combined fuel economy of 21 MPG. Despite a curb weight of 4,349 pounds, this engine feels potent enough. Nissan offers a decent amount of practical as well as cosmetic features, further increasing the prospects of the Quest among competitors like the Honda Odyssey, the Toyota Sienna, and the Chrysler Pacifica.

Buying Advice

The 2014 Nissan Quest Minivan is a refined and capable van offered in four trims. Among them, we recommend going for the SL trim that offers features including leather upholstery, heated front seats, an eight-way power driver seat, and one-touch fold-flat third-row seats over the lower trims.
