Serena S-Hybrid goes Premium
THE 2018 Nissan Serena 2.0L S-Hybrid will have a Premium Highway Star variant, with exclusive two-tone exterior colour choices and extra classy-features. Due to be launched in mid-May, the seven-seater MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) has estimated prices (without insurance) of below RM140,000 (Highway Star variant) and below RM155,000 (Premium Highway Star).
It is Japan’s best-selling mid-size MPV (January to March 2018).
On the Premium variant, the extra features are combination leather seats with colour choices of two-tone truffle brown/chestnut or single-tone black, a 10.1-inch roof-mounted LCD panel, tech-on tray mat, driving video recorder (DVR), LED room lamp, 16-inch Diamond Cut alloy wheels, door visors, V-Kool 4Mil security film tint, and ThreeBond Ultra Glass Body coating.
Standard and first-in-class features on the new Serena 2.0L S-Hybrid are Intelligent Around View Monitor (I-AVM) with Intelligent Moving Object Detection (I-MOD), hands-free dual power sliding doors and seven USB ports.
The 2.0-litre engine with twin CVTC (continuously variable-valve timing control) is mated to a XTronic CVT (continuously variable transmission), and this powertrain produces 150ps at 6,000rpm and torque of 200Nm at 4,400rpm.
Standard safety features include six airbags, vehicle dynamic control (VDC), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), traction control, child seat retainer with top tether, and hill start assist (HSA).
It comes with a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, and three-year or 60,000km maintenance service (whichever comes first).
