Minivans will never go out of style. Families recognize the functionality of them and automotive companies are working on making them more functional and more appealing to the market.
The Grand Caravan has been one of my favourites because of its comfort and value that it offers. The new Toyota Sienna really impressed me with its ‘sportiness’ factor and the Honda Odyssey is very luxurious to drive.
Nissan is introducing the all new 2011 Quest, saying that it provides “innovative functionality” for today’s parents.
At first glance, I don't like how this fourth generation Quest looks, especially the back end. Its very boxy and large appearance make it the tallest minivan but not the widest in the market.
The “boomerang” taillights, inspired by the 370Z, and tailgate finisher have helped Nissan achieve the design they were aiming for which was that the entire Quest look like it has been carved from one solid piece.
The front end is pleasant; its extra angles give it more character. The headlights are framed with chrome and are quite stylish. The front bumper is very bold and the horizontal grille blends nicely in to the very distinctive wheel forms. It almost reminds me more of an SUV than a minivan.
The inside certainly impresses. Nissan has taken a few styling cues from the Infiniti line and it is delicious. The fit and finish is outstanding and all the materials used are first rate. It is a huge improvement over the outgoing model.
Everything about sitting in the driver’s seat is perfect for me. The chair is firm but not too much, the steering wheel is just the right thickness and the wheel-mounted radio controls are placed perfectly for ease of use. The dash is well laid out and easy to read and all of the controls for HVAC and audio are stylish, and easy to use.
