2019 Nissan Serena e-Power Hybrid Highway Star | sgCarMart Reviews

[@ericchan6343]

Almost 20 minutes of video length, I'm still watching this video at normal speed. Seriously informative, entertaining and not boring. Easy to understand slang. One comment though. Could improve on color grading and video editing. This would have been an epic review long term.

[@sgcarmartreviews]

Thank you very much for the kind words! - Jon

[@roshanpatrick3810]

Guys thanks for your time. Is there a video on the battery system and it’s maintenance ? Also since the introduction of this model is there any technical issues ?

[@Beyblade_Genki]

No one mention how much does it cost for maintainace if the battery power the e-engine were to die with all the charging.

[@Jimmydmax]

what if you leave the serena e-power in the car park for 2 weeks, would the battery go flat?

[@neorenjie]

It'll run for sure.

[@TheMadblood]

Hello. I saw your video and fell in love with it. I bought one have no complaints. I need a little help. The hands free access to the side door is disabled. How do I enable it to use my foot to open the door again? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

[@sigitpermadi6037]

E power : fast Hybrid : slow E power : less fuel consumption ICE : more fuel consumption E power : dont need charging station EV : need charging station

[@AmadQ-l6s]

So still using petrol is it?

[@TheMadblood]

Hello my hands free access to the sliding doors are disabled. How do I get it to open and close with my foot again? They work from the buttons on the dashboard and on the door but no hands free using my foot.

[@zewei1988]

a bit irrelevant question, but where is the first segment of the video shot?

[@bxg190879]

It would be great if you do Noah Hybrid comparison with Nissan Serena

[@ed2611]

How is the service of this car? Does it require a special mechanic as its a hybrid

[@zaseermohd]

You have to be quiet when saying about the growling noise or quiet charging to see and hear the difference.

[@XXR8891]

it's only fair to yourself if you head down to Tan Chong Motor and test drive it for all these "sounding" experiences, because what the camera mic received and projected in KZbin may disparate.

[@zaseermohd]

@@XXR8891 Are you okay? The guy is talking when the so called "Charging" is happening. How to know about the review ?

[@ahmadzainudin7258]

Please do a review of Honda Stepwagon Spada or just a comparison review of this Serena with the car. The Spada is really a gem in this category, winning Serena in most aspects except for FC.

[@poon5544]

Yeah and I like the waku waku door

[@aaronlim4345]

Just search on KZbin. Japan has a review on Stepwagon.

[@shermanhan1839]

wish it had the "plug in" option . pump less petrol = better for owner, bad for government petrol tax.

[@trimoblie]

For a review of a hybrid, conspicuously missing is the discussion on fuel consumption.

[@hartonow710]

Agree, why does nissan make this big mpv into electric, so it should make more advantages compares to its 2,5 L engine from power, comfortable and fuel saving

[@sigitpermadi6037]

Expensive car sould think design, safety features, comfort, power, tourqe, material quality,... Fuel consumption is last option

[@neorenjie]

Fuel consumption is not bad. Full tank I'm averaging 750km.

[@danriickseah4539]

could you compare with other SUV side by side like voxy, noah, landy, space etc?

[@Tha_Breakdown]

Great review guys❤

[@tonyfox25]

How is the sound insulation? Will the engine sound become super loud at high speed >100km/hr?

[@neorenjie]

The engine sound when charging just sounds like a muted rumbling of a normal engine. It's not loud at all if you compare to petrol cars. But it's noticeable when it comes on from total silence mode when it's not charging. If you're driving with the radio on or playing some music then I'm sure you won't even notice it.

[@tonyfox25]

@@neorenjie I see. How about moderate to aggressive engine revving at high speed? Eg from 60km to 100km/hr and above. Is it louder than normal na petrol cars or same? I'm not referring to those high end super silent cars like lexus

[@neorenjie]

@@tonyfox25 just like normal petrol vehicles when you floor the pedal the engine is louder. When cruising at high speed it's silent if it's running on stored battery. But it usually doesn't last long because the car basically can't run more than 3 mins continuous without activating the engine from charging it. The engine is not loud, I'll say it's comparable or softer than many average and lower end cars. It does sound different though. It's sounds more like an air con compressor than an engine. Just a constant vibrating sound. With the radio on it's really not noticeable.

[@awiwiedw]

Thanks guys, Watched this in 2021, and now i am firmly convinced to buy this vehicle. The conventional engine over-humming can be anticipated with additional sound proof in the engine room.

[@funwheels3307]

Don’t think you should call it a hybrid. It works exactly like a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, using the motor to generate electricity to charge the battery pack. It should be called a petrol EV. Like a hydrogen fuel cell EV. 😊 I wonder how the Nissan Kicks e-power will perform?

[@tonyfox25]

Lemme give a summarised review of this car. In sg context Pros: good FC.ave at least 16km per litre / Powerful torque i.e pickup from start is good / low road tax about 800plus / pretty good NVH / very good interior space / boot space is ok in its class/ 3rd roll seats not difficult to fold up. Unless u r a weakling Cons: 10 year warranty or 160000km for battery. Is it sufficient? / E power technology not fully explained still new in sg. Eg if the battery is dead, can the car still move fast via using the petrol? Or totally unable to move at all? This will deter many from driving to Malaysia / The electric sound from the charging is subjective. When driving , there is slight vibration from the charging./ Uncertainty entering some carparks. This car height is 1.86 m (?) . Some carpark is only 1.85m / the upholstery looks nice but not feel nicely sewed together. / How much is the battery? Some say 3-4k. Some say 8-10k.. / the technology is proven in Japan but still considering new in sg.i.e tan Chong still experimenting. Eg the 360 camera was initially shown in the smaller screen. Now they have included in the headset too . So in future maybe TC might have better perks / the ves rebate is 10k. Average price is around 128k. So actual price is 138k. Parf is pretty low. About 12 k only if I remembered correctly. We have to return the 10k back eventually. / The sound system is only meh.no base, hollow. / Heard many horror stories about TC after sales service. Welcome any one to add on or refute what I've mentioned. It's only my personal opinion btw.

[@neorenjie]

The sound of the car reversing is obnoxiously LOUD. Can cause anxiety for drivers who park slow.

[@gohguancheonggohguancheong5911]

can i ask which is better , nissan serena e power or toyota noah hybrid

[@insu1569]

noah

[@avinarshchinaikan8780]

How does this perform on the hills? How long can it go on a hill at a grade?

[@ExaShark]

something nice would be if it charges when u r parked n away from ur car. So top up petrol and it can charge n drive if u want, but also charge when u r away

[@fjmlk734gmail]

Has the humming issue been resolved ?

[@meysonyeo3830]

Nice video. Can I know is it still charging after you "silent" it?

[@sgcarmartreviews]

Hey meyson, you can get back some charge from the regenerative braking when it is silent. But the car is silent because the petrol engine isn't running and that's where most of the charge comes from. - Jon

[@GbMuthu]

Noise from the petrol generator annoying ⁉️🤔 I'm surprised you are not already used to it by the noise the DC fan from your ICE is making 😅‼️ Series hybrids sounds very exciting. A 1.5 kWh battery replacing the cumbersome mechanical transmission along with the differential. Way to go👏👏👏👏 ‼️ I only wish there was 60/40 front row seating arrangement by taking advantage of the electric power needing no gear selector. 60/40 second row seating I think the not so luxuriously appointed versions are already offering. Wonderful review 😉🙏

[@LanceChee]

Wait... weird that theres a loud engine rev sound when the driver floored the accelerator at the 10:42 mark when the engine is not connected to the wheels directly.

[@XXR8891]

that's because Serena has no gearbox so it's drivetrain and output is different, do not expect the revving to goes like how normal car shifts its gear up & down. it's different.

[@LanceChee]

@@XXR8891 er, thats why its weird to hear the engine rev up when driver step on accelerator...no logic. Engine should be idling at a constant rpm

[@LanceChee]

I've just read an article that mentioned that the engine rpm climbs rapidly during hard acceleration to produce more electrical power for the electric drive motors.

[@mansoorfaiz7734]

What is the price of nissan serena 2019

[@FlamingWind]

With a full tank of petrol, what is the range this car can do? It seems to me that having a petrol engine charging the batteries that powers the motor will result in a lot of inefficiencies in between.

[@neorenjie]

I'm averaging 750km

[@jhf4930]

May I know the NVH of this car? Is it noisy on high speed at NS highway?

[@NameNaameNameeNaamee]

It's quite good actually.

[@neorenjie]

Can't hear anything especially if you turn on the radio.

[@Joseph-jn6vr]

how much fuel this car use

[@petercollins6468]

Hope to get one soon in the UK.

[@hjshoon5244]

If the wheels are 1 inch larger and come out slightly to the arched will look much better. The third row seats’ backrest looks really low. Not sure if it’s comfortable for adult over long distance. For Nissan, I’m more looking forward to the latest Sylphy which hasn’t been launched here yet. That car looks sporty

[@aaronlim4345]

Can change rim yourself. Offset 38/45 etc but fail inspection 😂

[@benjaminong9854]

Hi! Can you do a review on Mitsubishi attrage as well as kia stonic after the CB? Much appreciated, thanks!

Lousy car. Cheating

[@xenogearz7]

Could you guys try the Renault Grand Scenic for comparison? It is quite an old car, but it would be nice if you guys did a video review.

[@aravindmani1888]

Please do a review of the new BMW X1.

[@VDJMAR]

Hi from Russia !! fuel consumption ?? Acceleration from 0 km to 100 km ???!

[@troII69]

Get out of Ukraine U monsters

[@donswier]

Another great review! In a way it's similar to BMW i3 rex system (but Nissan has 4x the power from petrol, and a battery that is 20x smaller ...and no plug). I love the one-pedal regen on our i3, and glad Nissan does same.👍 Also love the limitless range of having a generator built in (even though we've only used 28 liters in 14,000km of driving) Here in western USA, most have access to plug (garage built-in to detached homes). Nissan system is perfect for those who don't have plug access. This epower also solves the CVT issues that Nissan suffered. Problem in USA: 30% of people are adamantly opposed to any electrification (mostly out of lack of familiarity). A smaller portion of population won't accept ANY form of petrol range extender on Electrics due to their militant cultism regarding EVs.

[@hoyinlai6221]

As a hybrid any range for a full tank? Also how long can it be on "EV mode" before the charging kicks in typically?

[@poon5544]

It is able to break 1000km with one full tank. Battery is very small, and I don’t think it has EV mode.

[@neorenjie]

I'll say something like 3 to 5 mins.

Well... its a good vehicle.. but the fuel consumption is very high compared with hybrid model.. for Nissan Serena only can get 550km max with 45 litres fuel. Not recommend for fuel consumption compared hybrid.

[@TheMadblood]

Which model do you drive the car in? ECO is the most efficient mode which uses the least fuel. Key note constantly driving at high speeds will use a lot more fuel. Especially if you have a heavy left foot like me.

[@oswinaria9034]

just add SUNROOF and this car will be PERFECT!!

[@ZhongHeng]

Interesting, truly a "perfect proposal" as Julian said. For the price, it's really getting a lot of car. Amazed by the leg space and how spacious it is, but the super huge windows don't give much privacy eh? Can easily spot Jon driving in his yellow T-shirt from outside. Q: Does it sound as bad as very loud Diesel engine cars though?

[@neorenjie]

It's quieter than most petrol engine. It's a small engine that's just charging the batteries. Tan Chong gave out free sun shade so the privacy issue is not a concern.

[@sigitpermadi6037]

E power faster than konventional hybrid

[@travisporter194]

Sorry to say this but when whenever I see Julian reviewing a car, it's cringing. It's like he's trying too hard in front of the camera and trying to be Mr Know it all

If there's a petrol engine to me it's a hybrid some more need pump petrol 😂 Wondering if this engine is from Renault?

It’s too boxy and ugly for my liking. Prefer the odyssey more. Much nicer looking than this Nissan. Anyone agrees?

[@Nahduge]

sure. and how much is the odyssey? please compare apples to apples.

[@neorenjie]

Boxy because of the much higher head room. MVP isn't about the looks, but this car is far from ugly in my opinion.
