Nissan Extends Quest Audiovox TV/VCP Entertainment System Offer

27 April 1999

Nissan Extends Quest Audiovox TV/VCP Entertainment System Offer, TV/Videocassette Player Awaits Minivan Buyers Through Model Year End

    GARDENA, Calif. April 26 --  After successive months of
continued consumer popularity, Nissan North America, Inc., is extending the
1999 Quest Audiovox(R) television and videocassette player (VCP) offer through
the 1999 model year, while supplies last.
    The move is the second extension of the offer in response to consumer and
dealer feedback for the Nissan Quest and the TV/VCP.  Customers who buy or
lease a 1999 Nissan Quest will receive the "EZ Fit" entertainment console at
no cost.  The console, produced by Audiovox Corporation, has a retail value of
$995, installed.
    The entertainment console consists of a five-inch liquid crystal display
television and the VCP.  The EZ Fit entertainment console also includes a
wireless remote control, 4-inch built-in speaker, built-in antenna, two-
headphone jacks, two audio/video input jacks for games or a camcorder, and an
integrated drink holder.  The unit bolts to the floor between the driver and
front passenger's seats and is available in two colors -- gray or tan.  TV/VCP
units are shipped to new Quest owners, along with a certificate entitling them
to installation in their 1999 Quests at no charge.
    "The VCP is key to this vehicle," said Kevin Wagstaff, Dealer Operations
Manager for Nissan's Mid-Atlantic Region.  "When dealers are able to
demonstrate it to customers and kids, it makes the sale immediately."
    A recent national independent survey by Market Facts, Inc., indicated that
customer satisfaction in regards to the TV/VCP is high with Quest owners.
Market Facts concluded that "an overwhelming majority of Quest owners reported
that they were satisfied with their TV/VCP unit."  Overall, the findings
demonstrated customer sentiment suggesting that Nissan should continue to
offer a Quest TV/VCP unit as a product feature, "because it will influence
their next purchasing decision."
    The TV/VCP is just one of many features that appeals to the Quest buyer.
Designers at Nissan's design center in California worked with owners of prior-
generation Quests to create the new "family room on wheels."  They discussed
everything from what owners put in their cupholders to what they hang from the
rearview mirror.  As a result, the 1999 Quest has enhanced utility,
convenience, social space and atmosphere -- and four doors.
    With a more powerful 3.3-liter, 170 horsepower engine, the four-door Quest
offers seating for seven, and a third-row "limousine" seating position adds
top-of-class practicality and versatility.  Designers took advantage of
enhanced interior space with such touches as revised cupholders, new storage
compartments, and a cargo net between the front seats.  For flexible cargo
space, the multi-adjustable Quest Smart Shelf creates separate compartments
for strollers and other items.
    The 1999 Quest is offered in three trim levels -- GXE, GLE, and a unique
SE model for customers who desire sporty performance and handling, along with
the traditional comforts and amenities that minivans offer.  In addition, the
1999 Quest offers built-in child restraint seats as an option for the GXE
model.
    For 1999, the Nissan Quest GXE and the Quest SE earned "The Best Overall
Value of the Year" designations in the 13th annual IntelliChoice Best Overall
Value of the Year Awards for Best Minivan Value Under $22,500 and Best Minivan
Value Over $22,500, respectively.  The Quest GLE Minivan also received
IntelliChoice honors for Minivan Over $22,500.
