KUALA LUMPUR, 13 January 2026 – The Nissan Serena has set the standard in the MPV segment over decades – an iconic model synonymous with class-leading practicality and efficiency, loyally serving multi-generational families. Now in its sixth generation, the All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER is set to reinvent the MPV rulebooks once again with its cutting-edge e-POWER drive system, unparalleled vehicle refinement and driving dynamics.  

“Replacing a class leader is never an easy task, but Nissan has answered the challenge in the shape of the sixth generation All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER. There is simply no better way to demonstrate the capabilities of the Serena ePOWER than to invite the media to undertake a two-day evaluation of the most advanced family MPV in Malaysia,” said Christopher Tan, Executive Vice President of Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd.  

Bold, expressive styling, aerodynamically-optimised 
The All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER cuts a stylish presence on the road and exudes its high-tech credentials from every angle. This is led by the latest interpretation of the distinctive Nissan V-Motion grille with elegantly integrated triple-projector headlamps, daytime running lamps and fog lamps, all of which are LED-illuminated. The sculptured front bumper is aerodynamically-optimised and features air curtains on each flank to reduce body sway while increasing stability and driving efficiency.   

The surfaces of the All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER have been reprofiled to form a strong shoulder line while retaining the distinctive stepped window profile, with slim pillars, a low sill and oversized windows offering excellent outward visibility for passengers on all three rows. The aesthetics are completed by a redesigned tailgate which now showcases boomerang-shaped LED taillamps connected by a chrome accent with the ‘Serena’ model nameplate above it. 

100% electric motor-driven, zero range anxiety 
As the All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER is driven solely by its electric motor, the instant torque delivery enables instant and smooth acceleration, just like an EV. However, as e-POWER is a self-charging system, the inconveniences associated with external charging and range anxiety are non-existent.  

Central to the performance of the Serena e-POWER is the second-generation ePOWER drivetrain with a high-output electric motor delivering 163PS and 315Nm to drive the wheels. It works hand in hand with the e-POWER-specific HR14DDe 1.4L direct injection 3-cylinder petrol engine featuring Nissan’s Mirror Bore Coating technology to reduce friction, vibration and noise.  The internal combustion engine functions as a generator and operates at the most optimum efficiency to charge the Serena e-POWER’s 1.77kWh lithium-ion battery pack and to channel energy directly to the electric motor when required.  

The All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER has three drive modes (Standard, Sport and Eco) with the addition of the e-Pedal Step function offering the convenience of single-pedal driving in city traffic and increased battery regeneration. Fuel efficiency of the All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER is rated at an impressive 18.5km/L (NEDC), capable of a range up to 1,000km.  

A new level of driving dynamics and reduced motion sickness 
Having similar levels of rolling noise as pure EVs means the demand for mechanical refinement is greater on the All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER than ICE-powered models. To achieve this, Nissan has equipped the Serena e-POWER with enhanced insulation on key areas such as the floor, dashboard and doors, complemented by an acoustic front windscreen. The result is a quieter, more calming cabin experience, with reduced engine and rolling noise as well as improved suppression of wind noise.  

To reduce motion sickness experienced by passengers, an entirely new front suspension and electrical steering system with increased rigidity were developed to reduce body roll and to improve the overall handling and stability of the All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER. Even the braking characteristics of the vehicle were fine-tuned for smoother deceleration.  

In addition to that, the aerodynamics and airflow of the body were tuned to reduce turbulence of the vehicle while utilising an acoustic windscreen for a quieter, more calming cabin experience.  In addition to that, the aerodynamics and airflow of the body were tuned to reduce drag and effects of crosswinds, further improving fuel efficiency, stability and noise control. The seats in the first and second rows have also been redesigned with Zero Gravity technology to minimise fatigue, head sway, while increasing comfort and support. 

Premium high-tech cabin with best-in-class practicality 
The high-tech credentials of the All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER are carried through to the dashboard and driver interface, with dual 12.3-inch colour screens taking centre stage alongside a new flat-bottom leather steering wheel. Also making its debut is a central touch-panel catering specifically to drive mode functions and airconditioning controls, with drive selection executed via physical buttons on the new Electronic Shift Selector.  

What never changes in the All-New Serena e-POWER is its class-leading practicality and seating flexibility. The Serena ticks all the boxes with its 13 versatile seating modes and various partitioning options. Hallmark Serena conveniences such as the cabin walk-through access, two-way sliding captain’s chair, dual-back door function and hands-free sliding doors are once again standard on the All-New Serena e-POWER, along with other useful features such as seat hooks and fold-out trays on the second row, USB ports on every row and a new wireless charging pad on the centre console. 

Advanced safety with Nissan ProPILOT driver assistance 
Safety is at the forefront of any Nissan model. To ensure a peace of mind before every journey, the All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER comes comprehensively equipped with the latest active and passive safety features from the technological advancements of Nissan Intelligent Mobility and 360° Nissan Safety Shield. 

From the full array of six passenger airbags, expansive Around View Monitor (360° camera) to the latest ProPILOT driver assist technologies such as Intelligent Cruise Control, Intelligent Lane Intervention and Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention – easing long drives on highways and reducing driver fatigue in heavy traffic.    

To be launched in March 2026 
“Now that members of the media have put the award-winning* All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER through its paces, the positive feedback which we have received makes us even more eager to start deliveries in March 2026. Despite the competitive automotive landscape, we are confident that the All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER will yet again raise the bar in the MPV class and reaffirm its best-selling MPV status. The selling price of the All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER is estimated from RM160,000 to RM180,000,” remarked Christopher Tan during media test drive event.  

The All-New Nissan Serena e-POWER can be previewed at selected Edaran Tan Chong Motor showrooms across Malaysia, with the official launch scheduled in March 2026.
