By CARSIFU | 2 April 2018


KUALA LUMPUR: The fifth-generation 2018 Nissan Serena S-Hybrid is now open for booking, and is expected to launch in May 2018.

The Serena S-Hybrid has 2.0L (MR20DD) Twin CVTC (Continuously Variable-valve Timing Control) engine, paired with XTRONIC CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC).

Maximum power output is now at 150PS at 6,000rpm with torque of 200Nm at 4,400rpm.

Using a new Dual Arm Tensioner (DAT) results in lower tension on the arm belt, thus reducing power loss and increasing fuel efficiency.

The S-Hybrid powertrain in the Serena S-Hybrid is a compact hybrid system.

It has an upgraded version of the ECO motor that controls the Idling Stop system and provides additional torque assist in start-up acceleration.

It also acts as an alternator to facilitate energy recuperation during deceleration and braking.

The Serena S-Hybrid claims a best-in-class fuel economy of 14.2 km per litre (NEDC R101), and earns a Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) status.
