“I always said I would never get a minivan but this doesn't even look like a van. It's comfy with plenty of space for up to 6 adults comfortably. I love my Quest.”
2014 Nissan Quest: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Nissan Quest is a true carryover with no major changes from 2013. Its four-trim lineup, V6 powertrain, seating layout, safety equipment, styling, and technology all remain the same.
About the 2014 Nissan Quest
4th generation, launched for 2011; 2014 is a mid-cycle year before the 2015 fuel-economy and infotainment update.
Nissan positioned the Quest as a style-forward, comfort-focused minivan for families who wanted an airy cabin, easy seat-folding flexibility, and a quieter, more upscale feel than the typical boxy family van. Its core appeal was simple: strong V6 power, one-touch family conveniences, and a cabin that felt more like a large passenger car. Compared with rivals, the tradeoff was less maximum cargo space and only seven seats, but easier day-to-day reconfiguration and a smoother, calmer driving experience.
The 2014 Quest ranges from the straightforward seven-seat S to the convenience-focused SV, leather-equipped SL, and upscale LE. Notable features include fold-flat second- and third-row seats, power sliding doors on SV, leather and a power liftgate on SL, and a 360-degree camera, navigation, Bose audio, and rear DVD entertainment on LE.
