Nissan and Tan Chong Motor Sales have announced the launch of the all new Nissan Serena e-POWER in Singapore.
The e-POWER drivetrain is a Nissan proprietary technology that offers the driving performance and benefits of an EV, yet eliminates the need for plug-in charging.
It combines a 100% electric motor drive with a petrol engine that charges the battery, giving customers instant, smooth acceleration and greater fuel efficiency. The e-POWER system comprises the battery and the electrified powertrain, which is integrated with a petrol engine, power generator, inverter and motor. This differs from conventional hybrid systems, where the wheels are driven by both the electric motor and a petrol engine.
The Nissan Serena e-POWER is equipped with three driving modes - Smart, ECO and Normal. The e-POWER's S (Smart) or ECO mode offers the convenience of acceleration and deceleration by only using Nissan's innovative One-Pedal Drive technology.
One-Pedal allows the driver to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop using only the accelerator pedal. Lift off the accelerator pedal and One-Pedal mimics stepping on the brake pedal, allowing the vehicle to slow down and even come to a complete stop.
The advanced regenerative braking of the One-Pedal Drive technology also harnesses a high amount of energy back to recharge the battery and increase fuel efficiency.
One-Pedal furthermore reduces wear and tear on the brake pads as brake pedal application decreases by nearly 70%.
The Nissan Serena e-POWER also comes equipped with unique Quiet and Charge modes - the former enables the vehicle to travel quietly when required by temporarily stopping the petrol engine from charging the battery, while the latter runs the engine to charge the battery.
Besides being equipped with advanced Nissan Intelligent Mobility technologies such as Intelligent Around View Monitor and Intelligent Driver Alertness, its top-notch safety features also include six SRS airbags, Vehicle Dynamic Control and Vehicle Sound for Pedestrian systems.
The all new Nissan Serena e-POWER retails from $140,800 inclusive of COE as of 30 September 2019 until 9 October 2019 with complimentary three years or 50,000km servicing. Terms and conditions apply.
