About the original moderate overlap front test

Tested vehicle: 2006 Nissan Quest 3.5SL van with standard head curtain airbags for all three rows of seats and optional front seat-mounted torso airbags
Rating applies to 2006-07 models

The Nissan Quest was redesigned for the 2004 model year. Beginning with 2006 models, changes were made to the side curtain airbags to improve occupant protection in side impact crashes.

Two tests of the Quest were conducted, one with an optional side torso airbag for the driver, and one without (side curtain airbags are standard for all three rows of seats). These vehicles are rated separately, except that the structural ratings and rear passenger injury and head protection ratings for both vehicles are based on both tests.

Beginning with the 2008 models, the side torso airbags for the driver and front passenger were made standard.
