Nissan Serena e-Power X vs X Plus
Verdict
The Nissan Serena e-Power X is the cleaner buy on the numbers. It costs RM154,800 against RM159,800 for the X Plus, yet both are 7-seat CKD C-segment MPVs with the same 1,433 cc petrol hybrid/REV set-up, 97 hp, 123 Nm, single-ratio automatic and front-wheel drive. Space is identical too: 4,690 mm long, 2,870 mm wheelbase and 280 litres of boot space. With six airbags and AEB on both, the RM5,000 gap buys no listed mechanical or safety gain here.
Pick the Nissan Serena e-Power X if you want the same drivetrain, space, safety count and warranty for RM5,000 less.
Pick the Nissan Serena e-Power X Plus if its unlisted trim additions matter to you after checking the equipment list, because the core specs match the X.
