The 2015 Nissan Quest’s SL trim would be the best option to go for.

The engine's power is transferred to the front wheels through a CVT transmission. The Quest reaches 60 mph in 7.8 seconds and crosses the quarter-mile mark in 16.1 seconds, which are pretty good numbers considering the size and segment. The acceleration is pretty strong, and the CVT transmission is efficient, smooth, and performs well.

In comparison, Chrysler Town and Country is the fastest of the lot as it launches to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds and crosses the quarter-mile mark in 16 seconds. Nissan and Honda follow with a timing of 7.8 and 7.9 seconds to reach 60mph and an identical 16.1 seconds to complete a quarter-mile dash. The performance and the acceleration sprint numbers are very similar among the rivals.

NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2015 Quest, while IIHS gives it a ‘Good’ for moderate front and side overlap and for roof strength. These safety scores are quite good.

The 2015 Nissan Quest is a good option in the segment, but certainly not the best. It does offer a capable powertrain along with a great feature set and a spacious and luxurious interior. But many of its rivals provide all of these and much more for the same price. So the Quest even while being a great minivan is overshadowed by its better-performing rivals.
