Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Nissan Serena e-Power is the C28 seven-seat C-segment MPV for families that want an electrified people mover rather than a conventional petrol-only MPV. It uses a 1,433 cc petrol hybrid/REV setup with a single-ratio automatic, and the Malaysian range starts from RM154,800. It suits buyers who need three-row practicality first.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the X at RM154,800, because all five Serena e-Power variants use the same 1,433 cc petrol-hybrid/REV powertrain, single-ratio automatic and seven-seat layout. The step-up prices are X Plus RM159,800, Highway Star RM169,800, Premium Highway Star RM174,800 and Shiro Premium Highway Star RM179,800. On paper you are not paying for different mechanicals here, so move up only for the specific trim and equipment you want.

Verdict

The Serena e-Power is the C28 family MPV answer for buyers who want seven seats, a 1.4-litre self-charging hybrid setup and ADAS with ProPILOT in one package. Its motor output is 163 PS and 315 Nm. The issue is price: the BYD M6 sits at RM109,800, so the Nissan costs far more. Buy it for the Serena format and e-Power drivetrain, not because it is the cheapest C-segment MPV.
