Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) is getting into the festive spirit early by introducing a new Imperial Red colour for the Nissan Serena S-Hybrid, specifically for the range-topping Premium Highway Star variant.
The new hue is part of a two-tone scheme applied on the seven-seat MPV, with the roof, rear spoiler and side mirrors all painted black. This look is reminiscent of what you’ll find with the X-Trail X-Tremer that was launched in February last year.
On that mention, ETCM also expanded the SUV’s colour options to include two new ones – Brilliant White and Tungsten Silver. Much like the existing Passion Red, the new finishes are applied on many parts of the car’s body, with the exception of the roof, roof rails, rear spoiler, side mirrors and 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels that are painted black.
Beyond the revised colour palletes, both models are unchanged in terms of specifications. The Serena’s powertrain consists of a MR20DD 2.0 litre direct-injected four-cylinder petrol engine (150 PS/200 Nm), an Xtronic CVT and an ECO electric motor (2.6 PS/48 Nm) that replaces the starter motor.
In Premium Highway Star, features include LED headlamps, 16-inch wheels, a Clarion head unit with a 6.75-inch touchscreen, combination leather upholstery in either black or two-tone Truffle Brown and Chestnut, single-zone auto climate control, rear air-con controls, keyless entry and start, as well as a 10.1-inch roof-mounted LCD rear display.
Meanwhile, the X-Trail X-Tremer gets two engines – 2.0 litre (144 PS/200 Nm) and 2.5 litre (171 PS/233 Nm) – both mated to an Xtronic CVT. Nissan’s All Mode Intelligent 4X4-i system is available only with the larger-capacity engine.
Highlights include front X-Face cladding, a chrome rear bumper protector and on the inside, luxurious Nappa leather seats finished in black.
ETCM is also giving Nissan customers the chance to a win a serviced apartment worth up to RM665,000 in The ERA, Duta North Kuala Lumpur when they purchase and register a Nissan vehicle from December 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019. With the Chinese New Year celebrations coming, rebates of up to RM12,000 are being offered for selected Nissan models as well.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This is a better buy than some China junk costing RM123k. I rather add a bit more and buy this proper Japanese car
Cannot believe Malaysian nasional car can cost nearly same price as Japs
Wait until gb gives u problem….
Looking forward to Hari Raya theme
Raya with Dark Green
Thaipusam with Dark Tangerine.
X70 alredi seen 3 on the roads while this car launch much earlier still havent been seen. Rare like CHR, if can see one then straight go buy 4D. Will strike one!
I see at least 10 C26 and 10 C27 everyday in johor bahru until I can’t stand it…
you must be either blind or living in cave. i have seen dozens of the new serena in klang valley. the V face is distinctive and unmistakeble.
ETCM bangang tak reti bawa masuk x-trail facelift.
relax la brader, coming soon ade x trail facelift.
TC future is doomed by not introducing nicer, safer, better vehicles into Malaysian market. None of its car comes with Autonomous Braking System, adaptive cruise control, LADAR. Even sub 80K Perodua doing much better than this ah-pek controlled brand. Changing color is the least you can offer?
Malaysians dont want new colours lar Tan Chong Malaysia.
We want new models la. Qashqai, Juke Nismo Rs, Note Nismo RS or the new Murano at least to rival the Big Ass H.
Your staff high on drugs or what? Playing PUBG at office ezit?
They keep adding new colors, new bodykits but no new models no new facelift other than the Serena Hybrid. Apa hal ETCM?
Stay away from Nissan cars…I am a current owner and I regret getting one
Which one?
Service centre ?
So stupid. This is Malaysia. The sun is always above us even when it rains. Roof should be white. Not black. Haval h2 does it right.
apalah ETCM keep giving Malaysians all these crap. Bring in new Nissan cars lah
Don’t buy Nissan cars. Known cvt problem. Cost a fortune to fix after your warranty is up.
