Nissan launched the current version its seven-passenger Quest in 2004, hoping that the futuristic styling and avant-garde dash design would win over customers bored with the typical minivan. It didn’t work, as low sales proved that innovation and technology are great, but funky looks are a love or hate affair. Unfortunately for the Quest, there was an overabundance of the latter.

Nissan seems to have taken this hard lesson to heart for the 2007 model year. The updated Quest blends its unique style, albeit with a few visual tweaks, with a more conservative interior. The instrument panel still features a round hub, but the controls are more logically configured, and the gauge cluster, once sitting atop the center of the dash, now resides behind the steering wheel where most drivers expect it to be.
