2019 nissan SERENA in Kenya: Review, Prices & Specs
2019 Nissan Serena: A Carimports.co.ke Review
The Big Picture
The 2019 Nissan Serena (C27) is the unsung hero of the MPV world. It offers more clever features than the Noah/Voxy at a significantly lower price point. For large families or tour operators on a budget, it provides unmatched value for money.
Engine, Performance & Economy
Most imports are the 2.0L S-Hybrid (MR20DD), which uses a small motor to assist start-stop. It returns 12-14 km/l. The game-changer is the e-POWER system (1.2L engine charging a battery), which drives like an EV and achieves 18-22 km/l.
Design & Practicality
The C27 looks futuristic with its floating roof design. Its killer feature is the Dual-Opening Tailgate (the glass opens separately), allowing access to the boot in tight spaces where the full door can't open. Ground clearance is standard MPV level (160mm).
Comfort & Technology
The "Smart Multi Center Seat" in the second row can slide forward to the front row, creating a walkthrough or a table. It has USB ports for every row, making it perfect for tech-heavy families. Visibility is excellent due to the thin A-pillars.
Safety & Stability
Many 2019 models feature ProPilot, Nissan's semi-autonomous driving assist, which helps with highway steering. Emergency braking and 360-degree cameras (Around View Monitor) make parking this bus surprisingly easy.
Reliability & Maintenance
The 2.0L S-Hybrid uses a CVT which requires strict maintenance (NS-3 fluid every 40k km). The e-POWER system is reliable but complex; ensure you have a mechanic who understands high-voltage systems. Parts are cheaper than Toyota's but slightly harder to find in rural areas.

Long-Term Ownership Costs
- Insurance: KSh 90,000 – 120,000
- Minor Service: KSh 7,000 – 11,000
- Major Service: KSh 20,000 – 35,000
Meet the Competition
- Toyota Noah- Holds value better but costs significantly more to buy initially.
- Honda StepWGN- The wildcard choice. Amazing "Waku Waku" tailgate and spacious interior, but parts are harder to find.
The Ci Verdict
The 2019 Nissan Serena is the smartest buy for families who want maximum features for their money. It offers 90% of the Noah's capability at 70% of the price. The e-POWER version is a revelation for city driving efficiency.
