Nissan launches the all-new Serena in Japan

November 29, 2022

The Serena features the second-generation e-POWER system, now equipped with an all-new, specially developed 1.4 L engine. The system delivers more powerful and smooth acceleration with less engine noise.

ProPILOT 2.0^*1 advanced driver assistance system comes on the highest e-POWER grade, the Luxion—the first time^*2 such a system that enables hands-off driving (in a single lane on a highway at speeds of 40 km/h or above) has been adopted in a minivan^*3 in Japan. For all other grades, ProPILOT has now been made standard. This driver assistance technology helps reduce driver fatigue on long road trips.
The Luxion is equipped with ProPILOT Park with memory, which records and recognizes parking space lines, marking the first time this technology has been adopted on a Nissan vehicle. The Luxion also has ProPILOT Remote Park.
Steering assist with forward collision avoidance supports steering when avoiding obstacles in front of the vehicle. This technology is also a Nissan first.

Second-generation e-POWER creates a quiet cabin, making conversation easier

The Serena features the second-generation e-POWER system, now equipped with an all-new, specially developed 1.4 L engine. The system delivers more powerful and smooth acceleration with less engine noise.
The Serena is also equipped with world-first, energy management technology^*4 that controls when the engine turns on and off in accordance with vehicle speed, traffic conditions and the navigation system. Reduced engine operation contributes to a quieter cabin.
Enhanced insulation further contributes to a quieter cabin, resulting in an easy conversation space, even for rear-seat passengers.

Science-based approach to reducing motion-sickness
Various design and packaging approaches have been taken with the aim of reducing motion-sickness. These include:

A wide, open view from inside the vehicle and an optimal display monitor positioning
All-new seat design that dampens occupant movement
A highly rigid steering wheel enhances handling stability
A vehicle structure that deflects crosswinds and reduces shakiness at high speeds
The second-generation e-POWER system and tighter suspension enable smoother vehicle body movement
e-Pedal Step, which allows the driver to control vehicle speed by just using the accelerator

A friendly design with premium quality and sense of innovation

A modern touch has been added to the exterior design. For Luxion and Highway Star grades, the exterior design is finished to evoke the dynamic and powerful performance of the vehicle. All lamps are now LED.
Close attention has been given to interior:
・The windshield is the widest in the minivan category in the market^*3.
・As a first for Nissan, the all-new Serena features a switch-type shift for smart looks and ease-of-use.
・The seat material is water-repellent, a family friendly feature.
14 body colors are available, including four two-tone combinations.
