Nissan has no presence in the domestic MPV market, but this does not mean that it does not exist in overseas markets. In Japan, Nissan has a well-known MPV, and even won the Japanese MPV sales champion of 20 18 and 20 19. Is it? Nissan Serena (Serena)

Recently, it is reported that Dongfeng Nissan will probably introduce this model from Japan to fill the gap of Nissan brand in the domestic MPV market. In fact, the second-generation Nissan Serena was sold in China under the name of "Yuxuan", but Zhengzhou Nissan was also a subsidiary of Dongfeng Group at that time, so it was not Nissan's logo, but Dongfeng's logo.

Because the home MPV market has not risen, the price is too high (guide price: 12.98? -? 199800), and without the aura of joint venture brand, it will only end in a hurry. Now Serena has been upgraded to the fifth generation. If it is really introduced to China, can it become famous? Today, Brother Jiang will take a look at this car with everyone.
In terms of appearance, the fifth generation Serena looks square. The whole vehicle adopts Nissan's V-MOTION family design language, and the air intake grille adopts grid chrome-plated and strip chrome-plated design. With a sharp front bumper, it looks very sporty.

The side adopts a suspended roof and a large chrome-plated front face, which looks a bit like Toyota Erffa. No wonder it is called "Nissan Erffa" in Japan.

Interestingly, Nissan Serena also adopted the kick-sensing side sliding door, which is similar in principle to the inductive tailgate, but it is still relatively rare to be used in the side sliding door.
In fact, Odyssey also has this application. Honda called it the "magic induction door". Simply put, you can open the door without touching the handle. You can open the door directly by sliding your palm under the window. I wonder which one do you prefer?
On the tail side, the vertically distributed taillights look a little slender, and the S-shaped light strip inside looks very textured. The sporty surrounding decoration makes it look more exquisite.
In terms of interior, Serena's biggest highlight is the irregular dashboard layout. The long digital instrument is located in front of the driver, without the sudden feeling of double screens, which is very harmonious and scientific. ? With Nissan's latest flat-bottomed steering wheel and fabric seats, it creates a comfortable interior atmosphere at home.
In terms of body size, Nissan Serena's length, width and height are 4780* 1745* 1850mm, respectively, and its wheelbase is 2865 mm, which is not as good as Honda Odyssey except for its large size, which is also Serena's disadvantage.
Although the size is not large, in terms of space, Nissan Serena and its main rival Odyssey have their own advantages. Compared with Odyssey's 7-seat layout of only 2+2+3, Serena adopts 2+3+2 and 2+2+2 seat layouts, which gives consideration to practicality and comfort.
It is worth mentioning that the third row of seats in the new car supports folding and hanging left and right. This storage method is common in Nissan MPV models, and it has certain requirements for car height.
Compared with the way that Odyssey folded the third row of seats into the floor, Nissan Serena kept the spare tire, but at the expense of a certain horizontal space, the overall storage space did not look as empty as Odyssey.

Nissan Serena's back door supports the independent opening of the rear window glass, which makes it easier to open the trunk and pick up and put things in case of limited space.
In terms of power, the new Nissan Serena offers 2.0L self-priming, 2.0L hybrid and 1.2L? E-Power extended-range electric drive has three different powers for consumers to choose from. Moreover, on some models, a four-wheel drive system is also provided.
According to Nissan official website's information, the fuel consumption of the extended version of Serena can be as low as 5-6L/ 100 km, which is quite good for MPV of this size.
In terms of price, the price of this car in Japan is still relatively affordable. The fuel version is equivalent to about 6.5438+0.6 million yuan, and the extended range version is about 260,000 yuan. If it is introduced into China, it is expected to be close to Odyssey (guide price: 2.298-3.768 million yuan), about 200,000-300,000 yuan.
In fact, the news about introducing Nissan Serena has been circulating for many years, but it turned out to be a bluff. But now the situation is still different. At present, the domestic MPV market has great potential, especially in the middle and high-end fields, and the demand is good.
Familiar with Buick GL8 and Honda Odyssey, the former is a veritable overlord in both commercial and domestic fields, while the latter has always been very popular at home.

In the independent field, there are also high-end players such as Chuanqi M8 and Roewe iMAX8, relying on good cost performance and good market performance.

In this context, it is a good opportunity for Nissan to introduce Serena. In view of its good appeal in the local area, if it can be slightly adjusted and the price is appropriate after coming to China, I believe it is still possible.

Coincidentally, Toyota Senna, also a medium-sized MPV, will return to China next year. In other words, if Nissan Serena can be made in China, then we will be fortunate to see the competition of the top three Japanese companies in the MPV market. At that time, it is not certain who will die! As for you, who do you prefer? Welcome to pay attention to the infinity of cars and express your views in the comments below.
