blogentry-133713-0-48841500-1468665703_thumb.jpgNissan revealed its fifth generation Serena recently and from what we can see, it is quite a sizeable difference from before. Looking sharper than before, the MPV gets a two-tone body colour scheme and a 'floating roof'. Interestingly, Nissan claims that the MPV’s A-pillars are thinner than any of its predecessors but yet do not result in any compromise to the vehicle’s structural rigidity.

It also possesses the widest interior in its class according to Nissan. To access all that space, the higher grade models allows you to open the powered rear doors by simply sliding your foot under them with the Intelligent Key in your pocket. 'Zero Gravity' seats that were first featured on the Teana are also seen here.

This means that a 2.0 litre direct-injected petrol engine that produces 145bhp and 210Nm of torque is mated to a small electric motor. According to Nissan, the 1.8 kW/200A motor allows for a “torque assist” function, providing a 50Nm boost for up to one second when moving away from a standstill. A CVT gearbox ensures excellent fuel economy at all times.

  • It's okay, you're just feeling ambivalent

    I almost always struggle to describe my state of mind when asked to consider how I'm feeling. How do you express emotions that exist together but work in opposition to each other? When invited to join a gathering with friends, I delight over the prospect of catching up but also yearn to be lounging at home. I'm inspired by an accomplished co-worker yet envy her. I feel happy about a new beginning but nervous and, at the same time, sad over the closing of a chapter.  It's complicated. A
