The creative ideas behind the production of the videos were conceptualized with the theme “Meet The Hybrids – New Age Family, New Age MPV” which ideally represents the Nissan Serena S-Hybrid. This concept showcases a family that has embraced new technologies, making them more modern and connected compared to conventional families.

The new Serena S-Hybrid is powered by a 2.0-litre (MR20DD) direct fuel injection 4-cylinder DOHC petrol engine with Twin CVTC and Nissan’s S-Hybrid system, couple with Xtronic CVT transmission with Adaptive Shift Control (ASC). The entire power plant offers max power of 147ps @ 5,600rpm and max torque of 210Nm @ 4,400rpm at your disposal. Similar to other hybrid vehicles in the market, the Nissan S-Hybrid system’s is technically works from a combination of electric motor, battery, idling stop/start and electric power regeneration.
