As the Malay proverb goes, “better late than never.”
After more than three years since its global debut, Nissan distributor Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) is finally set to officially launch the Serena e-Power this March.
Although its arrival may be considered somewhat late, ETCM claims to have already received 400 orders for the MPV model.
Naturally, there are several features of the Serena e-Power that have piqued the interest of existing Nissan Serena owners in this new model.
Last week, ETCM invited a group of journalists for a test drive session from Petaling Jaya to Kuantan, allowing us to assess the improvements made.
Here are some positive aspects we found in the Serena e-Power:
e-Power is More Powerful
One of the most significant upgrades in this family MPV is the e-Power system (163 PS/315 Nm), which replaces the S-Hybrid system in the C27 model.
Whereas the Serena S-Hybrid previously felt like it could “manage… but don’t ask for more,” this new e-Power system offers a much more confident drive.
Its electric motor provides a more immediate response, more strength, and operates quietly, akin to an electric vehicle (EV).
It’s not to say it suddenly becomes a speedster, but this time the Serena feels less heavy when overtaking or climbing, compared to the previous S-Hybrid system.
Press the pedal, and the car moves smoothly without drama. This is the characteristic that should be present in a modern family MPV.
The Serena e-Power boasts fuel consumption as low as 5.4 liters per 100 km, with a driving range of up to 1,000 km.
Quiet Cabin
In addition to the efficient e-Power system, we also noticed a significant improvement in NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness).
The cabin feels quieter and more comfortable, to the point that we forgot we were not driving an electric MPV.
This is attributed to several factors, including the use of acoustic glass and air curtains on the front bumper, which contribute to improved driving stability.
Wind noise is only noticeably heard at higher speeds; however, this isn’t a major issue as the MPV will most often be driven within the national speed limit.
Engine noise is also less pronounced when the e-Power system is engaged aggressively, almost as if Nissan has placed the 1.4L NA engine at the front of the bumper.
It doesn’t roar; rather, it produces a low hum that does not distract the driver.
Less Motion Sickness
One new feature in the Serena e-Power is the redesigned front suspension system, aimed at enhancing ride stability and comfort.
According to Nissan, the Serena e-Power utilizes SUV-based suspension architecture at the front to reduce body roll and improve control.
Overall, the suspension tuning of the Serena e-Power is designed to provide a more comfortable ride with less bouncing, aided by Zero Gravity seats to reduce motion sickness, especially for rear passengers.
A Champion of Practicality
As a family MPV, the Nissan Serena offers ample space for storage.
In line with current trends where people heavily rely on smart devices, the Serena includes designated spots for mobile phones, including a wireless charging slot and six USB ports.
The second-row passengers benefit from foldable tables and seats that can adjust in four directions.
Additionally, there are 22 cup-holder locations throughout the cabin.
It can be said that the Serena understands the realities of life: kids have toys, mothers have small bags, fathers have power banks – everyone has their place.
Retaining Elements of Previous Serena Models
Although the Serena e-Power introduces numerous enhancements, it still maintains the true identity of the Serena, such as the seating layout allowing easy passage from the first to the third row.
It also retains wide sliding doors on both the left and right, a high cabin dimension, large windows, and ease of access.
The Serena maintains the Dual Back Door feature with dual opening methods, making it convenient for loading and unloading items, especially in tight parking spaces.
Thus, exemplary fathers need not worry, as the identity of the previous Serena model is still preserved and passed down to the new Serena.
Conclusion
With its practical features and innovations, the Nissan Serena e-Power has the potential to be an ideal family car choice for 2026.
According to ETCM, the Serena e-Power is expected to be priced between RM160,000 and RM180,000.
