Nissan Serena e-POWER Hybrid

I was previously driving a C27 8-seater petrol hybrid (JDM from PI) for over 8 years. I really liked that car for its ample legroom and headroom, which comfortably accommodated me and my 7-8 passengers.

When Tan Chong released the C28 variant with an 8-seater configuration and dual hands-free sliding doors a couple of months ago, I decided to check it out. Apart from the e-POWER system, it retained the key features I valued in the C27, which led me to upgrade to the C28. I collected the car just over a week ago.

I moved on from a GLB to a serena due to increase of family members.

Having very little expectation but the new drivetrain and chassis outshines my expectation.

It's very refined, quiet and powerful. Handling is also relative good for the size, it was a huge improvement from the older model that I have test drive.

Bought it as it was the cheapest full size Mpv that is sold by local agent(proper warranty) . At the price point with all the amenities and refinement I can't ask for more.

The vehicle is relatively frugal, have been achieving 18-20kml for each journey.

If in doubt, go for a test drive, you will be sold.

Previously had the Serena C27 and was waiting for the new C28 to be launched in Singapore. But the launched was delayed, so changed to the new Honda Stepwgn Spada last year.

When the new Serena c28 was finally launched, without hesitation, booked the new car with Catherine Lai.

Catherine has provided excellent service from booking all the way till delivery. This is the 3rd Nissan car which I have bought from her. She is by far the best sales consultant I have dealt with in more than 30 years of my car purchase experience.

When changed from Serena C27 to Spada, my family could feel more power due to the Honda 2.0 eHEV drivetrain.

Now driving the new C28, the e-Power 2 actually has the same power as the Spada with the 2.0 eHEV. The seats are also more comfortable.

Really happy to be able to switch back to the new Serena C28.
