Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has revealed that, as of November 1, 2018, a total of 5,500 bookings for the C27 Serena S-Hybrid have been made. Of that, about 4,000 units of the MPV have been delivered, which equals to 73% of the bookings amassed.
To recap, the fifth-generation Serena MPV is powered by a carryover MR20DD 2.0 litre direct-injected four-cylinder petrol engine, making 150 PS at 6,000 rpm and 200 Nm at 4,400 rpm. It’s fitted with a new dual-arm tensioner to reduce tension on the arm belt and improve fuel efficiency, and is mated to an Xtronic CVT.
The seven-seater people carrier also features a 2.6 PS/48 Nm ECO electric motor that replaces the starter motor, and Nissan claims it is good for 14.2 kilometres per litre on the European NEDC cycle.
Some noteworthy features include Zero Gravity seats for the first and second row, seven USB ports scattered around the car, hands-free opening function for both rear passenger doors, a split-open tailgate, as well as conveniences like keyless-entry with push-start, LED headlights and a 6.75-inch touchscreen unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support.
Company sales and marketing director said: “Our assembly plant (TCMA) has been focusing on increasing its production whilst ensuring the highest level of product quality, and continuously speeding the deliveries. We are extremely thankful to our valued customers for their continuous support, understanding and patience.”

Seriously!!! Never saw anything attracts me for this model, everything seems no different from previous model.
Nissan Serena , MPV sejuta famili Malaysia.
So many bookings and yet so expensive. This means Geely X70’s 10,000 bookings nothing to shout about.
5000 Serena in 4 months vs 10,000 X70s in 2 weeks. Yawnz.
Lolz. Gud one!
then you must be blind or totally not this car’s target market. which is fine.
they updated the safety specs, gave more accessories and designed it better.
i say it’s the only mid size MPV worth buying now rather than stupid overprice estima reconds or the Innova which is 1 level down.
For the sake of comparison, Kia Carnival & P1 Exora got way much better product proposition
ETCM still sleeping and giving bodykit car instead of extra safety https://paultan.org/2018/11/07/nissan-almera-black-series-revealed-rm70k-rm80k/
Don’t rush production pls. Got mine almost 4 months later after I booked one during GST free period. A day after I got it the power door switches didn’t work and they found that the factory didn’t properly connect to the harness clip. Now I dunno what else they didn’t properly assemble. I also didn’t notice while I booked it but there is no hands free steering wheel controls for phone and volume control. U have to control all of it from your HU which is a pain. The good thing is the ride comfort. My biggest priority when I got it was that. Other small niggles I didn’t like was the halogen foglamps, DRLs and high beam. Why they didnt include LED for those is beyond me. Also fat people will dislike ridding in your Serena due to narrow seats lol!
Hell. The second row seats of the C27 were lower than I expected. I don’t understand why such a tall car comes with quite low seats. I’m not a biased proton fan, but my iriz rear seats seem to offer better seat height than the c27’s. Due to the poor middle row seats, I didn’t even bother to check out the third row of the Serena
This is the only TCM Nissan car that worth buying
Other model can throw into South China Sea
Anyone ever seriously wondering where the “Hybrid” part in this van? The “1 second” electric motor torque assist when moving from stands still?
Nissan, stop calling this a “Hybrid”, it makes you looks really silly in the eyes of your competitors.
It’s called a smart hybrid.. usign a second car battery as a hybrid battery.. hahahaha.. it’s true..
benzs….. No difference? Check again….
I guess, it is better to get a brand new Serena than a 5 year old recon Vellfire, even though the latter is more prestigious, technically better all round etc..
I have heard horror stories of old Vellfires at the workshop..
