Serena e-Power in 2026 — what's new

The 2026 Nissan Serena e-Power is an all-new C28 generation in Malaysia, launched with five variants: X, X Plus, Highway Star, Premium Highway Star and Shiro Premium Highway Star. All have seven seats, front-wheel drive and the 1.4-litre e-Power hybrid system. The Malaysian specification includes ProPILOT driver assistance systems, while the Premium Highway Star is listed with a 163 PS, 315 Nm series-hybrid motor.

Which variant to buy

The X is the sensible starting point because it has the same listed 1,433 cc hybrid/REV powertrain, 257 hp, front-wheel drive, single-ratio automatic transmission and seven-seat layout as every other variant. It costs RM154,800. Moving up to X Plus, Highway Star, Premium Highway Star or Shiro Premium Highway Star adds RM5,000, RM15,000, RM20,000 and RM25,000 respectively. On paper, you are paying for trim rather than a different mechanical package, so check the equipment list before spending more.

Verdict

The Serena e-Power brings a new-generation seven-seat MPV format, a petrol-hybrid/REV drivetrain and ProPILOT driver assistance to the Malaysian range. Its five-variant line-up gives buyers room to choose trim level, but every version retains front-wheel drive and a single-ratio automatic. Price is the sticking point: the RM154,800 entry point is RM45,000 above the BYD M6’s RM109,800 starting price.
