The fourth-generation Nissan Quest puts family transport at the centre of its minivan design. If you often travel with passengers aboard, its transmission behaviour is worth understanding before a test drive.
The 3.5 CVT pairs a gasoline engine with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. This Nissan Quest powertrain adjusts its ratio without conventional gear changes, making everyday acceleration feel smooth. When climbing hills or accelerating hard, you may hear sustained engine revs as the transmission keeps the engine pulling.
