1999-2002 Nissan Quest: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Like the similar Mercury Villager, Nissan's front-drive minivan got a major makeover for 1999, featuring new outer sheetmetal. A left-side sliding door was newly standard. Wheelbase was unchanged, but the body grew by 4.6 inches in overall length and 1.2 inches in width, gaining 9.6 cubic feet of interior volume. Sole engine was Nissan's 3.3-liter V6, delivering 19 more horsepower and 26 more pound-feet of torque than the previous 3.0-liter. A 4-speed automatic was the only transmission. Quests came in three forms: entry-level GXE, sporty SE, and luxury GLE. Standard equipment included antilock brakes, power door locks and front windows, air conditioning, and a security system with remote keyless entry. The GXE had a removable two-place middle bench that could be optionally fitted with child seats. SE and GLE versions substituted twin captain's chairs. All three contained a three-person third-row bench that slid on built-in floor tracks. The sporty SE featured a firmer suspension than its mates, with performance tires on 16-inch wheels.
