A new base model makes 2005 news for Nissan's minivan. It's called the 3.5 model and it joins 3.5S, 3.5SL, and top-level 3.5SE versions. All have a 240-hp V6 and automatic transmission; a 4-speed on the 3.5 and 3.5S, a 5-speed on the others. Quests come with just two seats--a pair of front buckets. The optional Seat Package adds two 2nd-row buckets and a 3rd-row bench for 7-passenger capacity. The bench folds into the floor. Leather upholstery and heated front seats are standard on SE, optional on SL. All but the 3.5 have a power liftgate. The 3.5S and SL include power operation for the right-side sliding door; SE version powers both sliding doors. ABS, traction control, and a tire-pressure monitor are standard. So are head-protecting curtain side airbags for all seating rows. Front side airbags and an antiskid system are available. An antitheft/alarm system is standard for '05. Satellite radio is a new option. Also available is rear DVD entertainment with one or two screens, a navigation system, rear obstacle detection, a full-length overhead console with air vents and reading lights, Nissan's Skyview roof (four glass roof panels), power-adjustable pedals, and power seat/pedal/mirror memory.
