What engine does the Nissan Quest use?
2 Answers
Nissan Quest uses a 3.5-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine with the code name VQ35DE. This engine has a maximum power of 277 horsepower and a maximum torque of 326 Nm. It is equipped with continuous variable valve timing technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. The engine is paired with a CVT transmission. The Nissan Quest is an imported MPV model, positioned as a high-end luxury MPV. In terms of body dimensions, the car measures 5109 mm in length, 1970 mm in width, and 1852 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3000 mm. In terms of suspension, the Nissan Quest uses a strut-type front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
Speaking of the Nissan Quest's engine, I have so much to say. This car has always used Nissan's own VQ series engine, especially the 3.5-liter VQ35DE engine which is most common. This V6 engine delivers over 250 horsepower with ample power reserves, making highway overtaking effortless. Its most impressive feature is the incredibly smooth operation—vibrations are barely noticeable inside the cabin, making long drives fatigue-free. Fuel consumption is indeed on the higher side, around 13L/100km in city driving, but that's expected given the displacement. Plus, this engine is exceptionally durable—I've seen many examples running over 200,000 km without major overhauls. It's also low-maintenance, running perfectly fine on regular 92-octane gasoline.
