Follow on Google News | 2011 Nissan Quest Now Available at Syracuse Nissan DealershipThe all-new fourth generation Nissan Quest, now available at Bill Rapp Nissan in Syracuse NY, is about to take on the toughest job on the planet: parenting.
By: Bill Rapp Nissan “The all-new Nissan Quest ‘gets’ parenting. While minivans remain one of the most maligned symbols of adulthood, where some see them as a surrendering of youth and fun, Nissan sees the minivan as a celebration of family life – not only for moms on weekdays, but for fun times with the entire family on weekends,” said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager, Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. “We view Quest as a reward to parents for doing just that – parenting.” Designed with purpose inside and out, the 2011 Quest offers functionality, unique styling and comfort for all occupants. “While it can’t promise to make parenting easier, or your kids better behaved, the new Quest can make your life as a parent a little less chaotic,” adds Castignetti. Among the new Quest’s available “Innovation for Family” design features are: * A sophisticated, modern exterior and interior design that provides a fresh approach to the minivan segment – including a “fluid sculpture” body with full surround glass treatment * One-touch power sliding side doors that easily unlock and open with a single touch, even with arms and hands full of groceries * Dual Opening glass moonroofs (two), providing refreshing breezes to front and rear occupants when open * 2nd row power windows * Standard Quick Release Fold-Flat 2nd and 3rd row seats to make a flat load floor, and available 3rd row power-return seatback on LE * Quick Comfort heated front seats with advanced staged heating system design * Removable 2nd row console with cupholders and lid * Always-available large, covered Permanent Rear Storage Well * Advanced Climate Control System (ACCS) intelligent HVAC system with Plasmacluster™ * Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system and RearView Monitor * Conversation mirror, which helps enhance visibility and conversation with children in the 2nd and 3rd rows * Standard 2nd and 3rd row theater seating with available large rear 11-inch color monitor and auto bright function * Easy maneuverability, with small turning radius and front triangle windows for enhanced visibility * Tire Pressure Monitoring System with Easy Fill Tire Alert, which alerts you when proper tire inflation is reached “This new dimension in minivans was conceived to provide smart prioritization, fulfilling the traditional, often child-centric needs of everyday life, but also the more emotional aspects of personal style, driving pleasure and unforgettable family vacations,” said Castignetti. “It’s designed to mirror the multi-purpose comfort and warmth of a home’s ‘great room’ and lets you take it along on the road.” Innovative Functionality The all-new 2011 Nissan Quest’s “innovative functionality” The Quest exterior styling combines fluid sculptural elements with crafted details to provide a fresh approach to minivan design. In front, the bold bumper and horizontal grille and headlights blend into the dramatic side character line and distinctive wheel forms filled with standard 16-inch or 18-inch wheels. The bold door sections and surfaces flow seamlessly into the rear “boomerang” The most striking aspect of the new Quest design, however, is the full surround privacy glass, black sash molding and chrome trim accents, which combine with the wide, low stance and muscular front end to give Quest the most dynamic and distinctive appearance in class. The Quest exterior design is also one of the most wind-efficient, with a 0.32 Cd for the Quest S model. In addition to standard chrome door handles, rear roof spoiler and chrome license plate finisher, available exterior features include High Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon headlights, auto on/off headlight function, fog lights, and dual power heated outside mirrors. Quest also features small triangle windows in the front doors to help enhance visibility. Available on Quest SL and LE models are Dual Opening Glass Moonroofs that contribute to the open, airy atmosphere of the Quest interior for all passengers. The new Quest is offered with power sliding side doors with selective unlock function and one-touch open/unlock feature and power-opening windows. The system works in conjunction with the standard Nissan Intelligent Key™. Also, due to the way the Quest’s door rail system is designed, the sliding door step-in height is lower than competitive minivans. This is especially helpful for small children or older adults getting into the 2nd or 3rd rows. In addition, a one-touch unlock/open power rear liftgate is standard on Quest SL and LE models. “The one-touch door operation is ideal for the many times during the day when you find yourself approaching the vehicle with both hands full. In conjunction with the I-key, there’s no fumbling for the key fob to unlock the door, no having to put your packages down or let go of a child’s hand to open it – just push the button on the door handle and the Quest takes care of the rest,” said Castignetti. The easy-to-use convenience also carries over into the interior design with the quick release fold-flat 2nd and 3rd row seats. The 60/40-split 3rd row seat can be switched from upright to fold-flat position with the simple pull of one strap (Quest S and SV) or push of a button (Quest SL and LE). The LE model also includes 3rd row power return seatback. A spring assist aids the manual fold and return operation. The 2nd row bucket seats also feature easy-fold/return operation, and there is a standard 2nd row walk-in device for easier access to the 3rd row. “With the introduction of the new 2011 Quest, Nissan offers a new paradigm in family mobility –an innovative fusion of sophistication, security and functionality that helps celebrate family life,” said Castignetti.
