The Nissan Serena e-POWER features the second-generation e-POWER hybrid system, combining a 1.4-litre inline-3 petrol engine (primarily used as a generator) with a 120kW high-output electric motor. The motor produces 163 hp and 315 Nm of torque, comparable to a traditional 3.0-litre engine. The system is equipped with a 1.77 kWh lithium battery, allowing short-distance electric driving, but mainly relies on the engine to generate electricity for the motor – no external charging is required.

Very fuel-efficient. According to WLTC standards, the Nissan Serena e-POWER has a combined fuel consumption of approximately 19.2 to 20.6 km/L (approx. 4.9 to 5.2 L/100km), which is excellent for an 8-seat family MPV. The manufacturer claims a full tank can achieve approximately 1,000 km of range, significantly reducing trips to the petrol station.

The Serena e-POWER's motor produces 163 hp and 315 Nm of torque, delivering brisk acceleration, especially on uphill sections, with performance comparable to an electric vehicle. The second-generation e-POWER system has a larger 1.4-litre engine, increasing power by 20% over the previous generation for more effortless city driving. It also features e-Pedal Step, allowing one-pedal control of acceleration and deceleration while recovering energy to charge the battery.

The Nissan Serena e-POWER measures approximately 4,765 mm in length, 1,715 mm in width, and 1,870 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,870 mm. It has a tall, boxy MPV shape. While it's nearly 4.8 metres long, the standard 360-degree camera and parking sensors, combined with its relatively narrow width, make parking in Hong Kong manageable. However, with a height of approximately 1.87 metres, caution is needed when entering older car parks with height restrictions.

The Nissan Serena e-POWER features a unique "7+1" seating arrangement – a standard 7-seat (2+2+3 layout) with an additional foldable "8th seat" in the middle of the second row. When not in use, it can be folded away to create a centre walkway for easy access to the rear; when carrying 8 people, it can be deployed. The rear seats can also be fully folded into the floor to create a massive cargo area, offering excellent flexibility.

The Nissan Serena e-POWER comes standard with dual 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and central touchscreen, supporting Apple CarPlay. Gear selection uses push-buttons located below the centre console. Standard equipment also includes a 360-degree around-view camera, dual power sliding doors (Highway Star version with hands-free kick sensor). The tailgate features a Dual Back Door design – the upper glass can be opened independently for easy access when parked in tight spaces. Higher trims also add a HUD.

The Nissan Serena e-POWER is equipped with the Nissan Intelligent Mobility comprehensive safety system. Active safety features include IEB predictive emergency braking (detecting vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists), BSI blind spot intervention, LDP lane departure warning, RCTA rear cross traffic alert, and an intelligent rearview mirror. Higher trims also feature ICC intelligent cruise control. Note that the Serena does not have Lane Keep Assist (LKA); ICC only controls speed and distance, not lane centering.

The Nissan Serena e-POWER is not a pure electric vehicle and does not require plug-in charging – it only needs petrol. Its e-POWER system uses the engine to generate electricity, with the motor driving the wheels, so there is no "range anxiety". With fuel consumption of approximately 19-20 km/L, it's very economical for an 8-seater that is often fully loaded.

The Nissan Serena e-POWER is a "family MPV", in the same class as the Toyota Noah/Voxy and Honda Step WGN. Its selling points are the flexible 7+1 seating, ultra-low fuel consumption (approx. 20 km/L), and relatively approachable pricing. The Serena has always been popular in Hong Kong's MPV market, especially among cross-plate owners, due to its practicality, high reliability, and the fuel efficiency of the e-POWER system.

The Nissan Serena e-POWER is a highly capable family MPV choice. Its flexible 7+1 seating is practical for carrying large families or cargo. With fuel consumption of approximately 20 km/L, it's very economical for an 8-seater, and the e-POWER system delivers responsive performance for city driving. With a standard 360-degree camera, parking is manageable. If you need a fuel-efficient, practical, and reliable family car without the hassle of charging, the Serena e-POWER is an excellent choice.
