If you’re looking for a spacious 7-seater MPV that’s fuel-efficient, smooth to drive, and comfortable enough for long family trips, the Nissan Serena e-Power Highway Star deserves to be on your shortlist.

It’s one of the few MPVs in Singapore that combines electric-like acceleration, a quiet cabin, and excellent fuel economy—without the need for charging. After test-driving it on PIE, CTE, and normal city roads, I can confidently say: this MPV feels built for Singapore families.

Below are the 7 reasons why the Nissan Serena e-Power Highway Star fits our roads and lifestyle perfectly.

1. e-Power Technology = Electric Feel, No Charging Needed

The Serena uses Nissan’s signature e-Power system, where the petrol engine only charges the battery, and the wheels are powered by an electric motor.

This means:

• Smoother acceleration

• Quiet EV-like driving

• No charging cables, no range anxiety

• Lower fuel consumption (≈ 17–18 km/L in real-world Singapore driving)

In city traffic, it feels noticeably smoother than most traditional MPVs.

2. Spacious 7-Seater With Sliding Doors
(Perfect for Tight HDB Carparks)

Singapore’s older carparks are narrow. Sliding doors = life saver.

Benefits:

• Kids can get in/out safely without hitting other cars

• Easier for elderly family members

• Effortless pickup/drop-off at malls and schools

The Serena’s flat floor design also makes walking inside the cabin surprisingly easy.

3. Excellent Fuel Economy for a Big MPV

A typical petrol MPV does 9–12 km/L.
The Serena e-Power does 17–18 km/L in SG conditions.

That means:

• More savings on Grab/PHV use

• Less weekly petrol spending for families

• Great for long Malaysia trips

For a 7-seater, this efficiency is very impressive.

4. Best-in-Class Interior Space

Inside, you’ll notice:

• High roof, airy cabin

• Super comfortable 2nd-row captain seats

• Wide windows with excellent visibility

• Proper usable 3rd row (not just for kids)

If you often travel with 6–7 people, this MPV beats most SUVs and compact MPVs in comfort.

5. Very Quiet Ride (One of the Quietest MPVs I’ve Driven)

Because the wheels are powered by an electric motor, noise levels are very low:

• Less engine vibration

• Smooth acceleration

• Quiet cabin even at 80–90 km/h

Families with kids or elderly passengers will appreciate how peaceful the ride is.

6. Great for Long Road Trips to Malaysia

On a test-drive to JB and Desaru, the Serena proved to be:

• Stable at highway speeds

• Fuel-efficient over long distances

• Comfortable for all 7 passengers

• Spacious for luggage and strollers

It’s an ideal MPV for cross-border travel

7. Packed With Useful Safety & Comfort Features

Standard features include:

• Intelligent Around-View Monitor (360° camera)

• Dual power sliding doors

• ProPilot semi-autonomous cruise control

• Apple CarPlay / Android Auto

• Electronic parking brake with auto hold

• Dual-zone climate control

These features make everyday driving easier—especially in city traffic.
