In its quest to conquer the MPV market, Nissan introduced a final facelift for the Quest in 2008 for the 2009 model year, when it changed the generation.
While the world struggled with the world economic crisis and the carmakers suffered losses, Nissan showed no mercy and facelifted the Quest to get more attention from its customers. It wasn't a big, or essential, update, but it was something to keep its clients.
From the outside, the Quest was not the best-looking vehicle on the market. It wasn't even the best-looking Nissan, but it followed the Tiida/Versa's design language. The flowing Nissan grille with angular front bumper fascia offered an aggressive stance at the front. The door's handles were chromed to induce a luxurious feeling for its customers.
Inside, Nissan installed up to seven seats on three rows. Thanks to its wide rear sliding doors, the access to them were straightforward, thanks to the sliding rear doors. The dashboard was wide and uncluttered by unnecessary curves and storage bins. Nissan arranged most of the buttons on the center stack, next to the gear selector. The carmaker installed glass-roof panels over the passenger's area fitted with individual blinds to make the vehicle more appealing. The third-row seats fold flat under the trunk floor, resulting in a completely flat loading area for extra storage room.
Under the hood, Nissan offered only one powertrain option carried over from the Maxima. It featured a 3.5-liter V6 paired to a 6-speed automatic.
