Dec 18, 2001 - Nissan's next -generation Quest Concept is a bold departure from traditional minivan design, creating a very architectural and fluid alternative to a category marked by 'boxes on wheels.'

The Quest Concept, which makes its world debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January 2002, features a long, sleek cabin with a flowing beltline gesture, a unique wraparound glass treatment and, to emphasize its athletic performance capabilities, 20-inch wheels and tires pushed out to the corners. The Quest Concept also features a power operated bi-fold tailgate for easy cargo access, a glass roof to illuminate the cabin, a 'pop-up' roof rack and highly efficient fiber optic headlights.

The interior of the Quest Concept breaks new ground in minivan interior design, creating an unparalleled vehicle environment for 'family and friends.' The interior challenges convention with an innovative instrument panel layout, stylish and comfortable seat design and thoughtful storage locations. The inspiration for the seating design and layout was premium comfort for six people, an experience enhanced by the Quest Concept's open interior atmosphere, centralized information center, advanced rear seat entertainment system and full-length overhead console.
