Why doesn’t Nissan make a minivan?

Did Nissan stop making the Quest minivan?
If you look at our inventory, you might notice one segment is absent: the minivan. Why is that? Well, Nissan did make the Nissan Quest, a robust minivan that simply couldn’t keep up with the traction that models like Nissan Rogue have gained. If you’ve been wondering whether Nissan stopped making the Quest, the answer is yes. Here’s why.
Can you still buy the Nissan Quest?
It’s not difficult to see why Nissan discontinued the Quest. It all comes down
to sales figures, and most shoppers are now looking at SUVs rather than minivans. In a market that is quickly losing consumer interest, the Quest wasn’t a popular choice. As it turns out, the 2016 model year was the last one for the Nissan Quest in the U.S. market. The model was sold as a fleet vehicle for a brief time in 2017, but with a shrinking number of personal minivans sold, Nissan has more popular commercial options. The NV line, which includes the NV Passenger, NV Cargo and NV200, provide sturdy options that are often more suitable for fleet sales or individual business uses.

The Nissan Quest was on sale from 1992 through 2016, so there are plenty of used options if your heart is set on getting behind the wheel of one. Though we see the obvious value in minivans for some families, we also understand why they are falling out of favor. Modern SUVs offer similar interior space and convenient organization solutions, but are often easier to navigate and are more practical for those with active outdoor lifestyles. Plus, we just can’t deny that many people prefer the appearance of an SUV than the family-friendly staple that the minivan represented for so many years.
