Nissan Serena C27 Series Hybrid
The Nissan Serena C27 is a practical Japanese people mover with sliding doors, flexible interior layouts and two very different hybrid systems. The S-Hybrid combines a 2.0L petrol engine with mild electrical assistance, while e-POWER uses a petrol generator to supply electricity to an electric drive motor. Factory grades include everyday X/XV and more extensively equipped Highway Star versions, with different seats, safety features and interior appointments.
