Registration of interest for the fifth-generation Nissan Serena S-Hybrid is now open, with the launch of a dedicated page on Nissan Malaysia’s website. The new MPV has already been given its first public preview just last week, and we are now provided with a few more details.
Under the bonnet, the C27 will continue to use a S-Hybrid powertrain as seen on the C26 Serena, with a MR20DD 2.0 litre direct-injected twin-CVTC four-cylinder petrol engine providing 150 PS at 6,000 rpm and 200 Nm at 4,400 rpm.
The mill is mated to an Xtronic CVT with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC), and is joined by an ECO motor that controls the car’s Idling Stop function and serves as an alternator during deceleration. The 1.8 kW/200 A motor also allows for a “torque assist” function, providing a 50 Nm boost for up to one second when moving away from a standstill.
A fuel consumption of 14.2 km/l (NEDC) and Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) status are also touted on the site, with the latter confirming the Serena will be a locally-assembled (CKD) model as before.
The rest of the specifications is similar to our previous report, with a seven-seat configuration (2-2-3) being the only one that will be available. Other items include seven USB ports, dual-powered sliding doors, a 360-degree Around View Monitor and Intelligent Moving Object Detection (I-MOD).
Safety-wise, there are six airbags, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), traction control, Hill Start Assist (HSA), ABS with EBD, brake assist and dual Isofix child seat anchor points. Lastly, four colours are offered – Brilliant White, Tungsten Silver, Diamond Black and Cashmere Gold.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
It seems like the front pillars could be obstructing view to the left and right side, but judging for the photos lah..
Serena MPV gonna be the next hippest balik kampong ride.
Front pillar is glass, like Citroen C4.
still no lane departure and blind spot warning, forward emergency braking….intelligent mobility is just a name, come on TCM!
Some more, 15″ rims for mid size mpv?….come on TCM!!!
The blur and red press photo cars looked good. Nice rims too. Reached Malaysia, underspecified. With EEV grant, I doubt that we can get 30% of cost reduction. Nissan Japan still tidur.
ROI – Return on Investment or what??
It’s Registration of Interest.
In Financial/accounting/investment, ROI mean Return of Investment. In Motoring terms, its Registration of Interest.
I only learn it from PT.org. last year. U have every right to ask if U have doubt. Cheers…
come on TCM…why cut away the 8seats…the flexible arrangement seats is Serena selling point.
I agree.
I owned a 7 seater MPV before and had to switch it to a 8 seater.
7 seater is “only” 2 more seats than a sedan. and the middle roll has actually more space to sit 3 people than the last roll comfortably. And when you include luggage space, which typically would fold the last roll of seats up, an 8 seater config could still accommodate 5 adults with ease.
I don’t understand why they can’t sell 2 different config.
under EEV tax break, open but how much …?
(Like) Nissan Serena S-Hybrid
(Dislike) Toyota Innova
2+2+3= 7 seater configuration.
how to seat 3 adult for last row?
Should consider 8 seater for MPV.
Spread the risk out la…get 2 personas…8 seater di wat…blc $$$ put in FD..
2 persona cannot be considered as investments too.
Besides, finding a carpark on a weekend at the mall is hard enough. with 2 cars now need to find 2 carparks??
You might as well say put all money in the bank and stay at home.
*investment guru that tells people put in FD? You must be first. how you earn your commission?
Dei…no.need to serious la…chill man…relax…take prozac if need be
Donkey head
7 seater only??? please keep it in your junkyard
why remove the selling point from Serena..what are TCM thinking..15inch rims??great decision
2+2+3…not good… prefer 2+3+3 instead..
prefer 2+3+3 seat configuration
