The minivan. VQ V6 power and family-hauling practicality.

The Nissan Quest is the brand minivan, a family-focused people mover powered by the smooth VQ V6. Across its generations it offered seven- or eight-passenger seating, sliding doors, and a comfortable, practical interior, competing with the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. Later Quests adopted distinctive, boxy styling and a flexible interior. While never a sales leader in the segment, the Quest offered VQ V6 refinement and genuine family practicality. Production ended as Nissan, like many brands, shifted focus to crossovers. On WhipJury, the Quest appears as a practical family minivan.

Quest specifications

VQ V6, CVT or automatic depending on generation, front-wheel drive. Seven- or eight-passenger minivan with sliding doors.

Sedans Are Not Dead. Automakers Just Stopped Trying.

Every few months a new obituary gets written for the sedan. Sales are down. Automakers are canceling models. The crossover has won. The four-door is finished. And every time someone writes that obituary, the Toyota Camry sells another 300,000 units, the Honda Accord moves another 200,000, and the Tesla Model 3 quietly becomes one of the best-selling vehicles on the planet. The sedan is not dead. A specific group of automakers decided it was not worth their effort, walked away, and then pointed at falling sales as proof the customer did not want it anymore...
