Overview
The Nissan Serena 2018 (C27 generation) marks a significant advancement in the family van segment, especially with the introduction of the e-Power drivetrain. Imported mainly through reconditioned channels, it offers a unique proposition: the driving experience of an electric vehicle without the need for plug-in charging. This model targets larger families and transport providers who require maximum interior space and fuel efficiency for urban tasks. The e-Power system employs a 1.2L petrol engine solely as a generator to charge a small battery, which then powers the electric motor that drives the wheels. This setup sets it apart from conventional hybrids, delivering instant torque and a quiet ride that appeals to those seeking a modern, tech-savvy people carrier.

Pros
Fuel Economy: The e-Power system delivers impressive mileage for a vehicle of this size, particularly in stop-and-go traffic where the engine runs intermittently.Cabin Flexibility: The "Magic Slide" seats allow for multiple configurations, creating a walk-through aisle or a bench seat as needed. Access: The hands-free sliding doors and the split-opening rear tailgate make loading passengers and cargo effortless in tight spaces. Visibility: The large glass area and thin A-pillars provide excellent outward visibility, reducing blind spots for the driver.
Cons
Body Roll: Due to its tall, boxy design, the vehicle experiences noticeable body roll when cornering, requiring a relaxed driving style.Ground Clearance: The low side skirts and front bumper (especially on Highway Star trims) require care on uneven surfaces and ramps. Engine Drone: Under heavy load or steep inclines, the small generator engine can rev high to maintain battery charge, creating a droning sound.Driver Insights

out of 5
Owners note that the high seating position provides a "bus-like" view of the road, which boosts confidence when navigating through traffic. Feedback indicates that the electric motor delivers smooth, linear acceleration that is unexpectedly brisk for a van, making city driving less stressful. In urban areas, the "One-Pedal" driving mode is often praised for reducing the need to use the brake pedal in heavy traffic. However, on open roads, drivers mention that the steering feels very light and offers little feedback, highlighting the vehicle's role as a comfortable cruiser rather than a sporty drive.

Exterior Design
The exterior design features a bold and futuristic appearance compared to its predecessors. It includes a prominent V-motion grille with blue accents (on e-Power models) and a "floating roof" effect created by blacked-out pillars. Owners value the dual-tone paint options available on higher trims, which reduce the visual bulk of the van. The distinctive S-shaped line running along the side adds character to the otherwise boxy silhouette.
