As the manufacturer launched the last year's model with a totally new look, the 2008 Nissan Quest has been launched without many changes. As it is a carry over model, one can notice a huge similarity between the current and last year's line-up. However, the new models have more power to provide along with necessary performance, comfort and convenience to meet the expectations of active families. This year, it comes in four grades – base, S, SE and SL in only four-wheel drive traction. This time the manufacturer has given a lot of importance on the safety aspect to help create a positive impression on the minds of the buyers. In the interest of safety, every Nissan Quest is equipped with standard safety measures, like:
- Nissan Advanced Air Bag System with dual-stage supplemental front air bags with seat belt
sensors and occupant-classification sensor
- Driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags
- Roof-mounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags for first-, second- and third-row outboard occupant head protection
- Traction Control System (TCS)
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- 3-point ALR/ELR passenger seat belt system (ELR for driver)
- Front seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters
- Front-seat Active Head Restraints
- Height-adjustable head restraints for all positions
- Child-safety rear door locks
- Zone Body construction with front and rear crumple zones
- Energy-absorbing steering column
- High-strength steel side-door guard beams
- Hood buckling creases and safety stops
- Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
Apart from these features, the upper two models also come with a vehicle security system. Moreover, the crash test results that are conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Institute and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) have proved that the present line-up is quite a good bargain when one gives importance to the safety factor.
