Which Nissan Serena version to choose
For a current Hybrid Minivan, generation 5 is the only generation still without a stop date. 1.2 CVT is the smallest engine (1198 cc, 3 Inline, 84 hp, 103 Nm) and the heaviest Hybrid FWD (1770 kg kerb) with 140 mm clearance and a 55 L tank. 2.0 CVT 150 hp FWD is 66 hp and 97 Nm above 1.2 CVT, 120 kg lighter at the kerb (1650 vs 1770), and sits 20 mm higher (160 vs 140 mm). 2.0 CVT 150 hp AWD matches the FWD 2.0 on power and torque, adds AWD, raises kerb by 90 kg (1740 vs 1650), raises gross by 90 kg (2180 vs 2090), and drops clearance to 140 mm; it is the only listed Serena with Independent, spring rear and Disc ventilated rear brakes.
If the need is Gasoline 2.0 Variable rather than Hybrid, generation 4 2.0 CVT 147 hp FWD (1630 kg, 160 mm, fuel 92, 60 L) is 20 kg lighter than generation 5 2.0 CVT FWD Hybrid and 3 hp lower. Generation 4 2.0 CVT 144 hp AWD is the heaviest listed Serena at 1790 kg kerb and uses fuel 92; generation 4 2.0 CVT 147 hp AWD matches that 147 hp / 210 Nm figure but is 160 kg lighter (1630 kg) and uses fuel 95.
Generation 3 2.0 CVT 147 hp FWD is the lightest 2.0 of generations 3–5 at 1580 / 2020 kg; 0–100 and top speed are not measured on that version. The three generation 3 versions with measured performance share 15 s and 165 km/h; 2.0 CVT 129 hp AWD is 8 hp below the 137 hp FWD and 18 hp below the 147 hp FWD.
Generation 2 is the only generation with Diesel Automatic 2.5 AT (150 hp, 280 Nm — 80 Nm above the strongest Gasoline 2.0 of that generation) and 13 s / 170 km/h on both FWD and AWD. 2.3 MT is the slowest listed Serena (26.5 s, 135 km/h, 75 hp) and the only version with measured combined consumption at 9.6 L/100 km, plus the only measured wheel sizes.
Generation 1 is the only Compact Van and the only RWD-heavy set. Fastest measured 0–100 is 12.2 s on the 140 hp 2.0 MT RWD, 2.0 MT AWD, and 2.0 AT AWD (170 km/h). 1.6 AT and 1.6 MT share 97 hp and 18.1 s / 150 km/h. 2.4 MT is the lightest kerb (1330 kg) with 105 hp, 186 Nm @ 2400, 2 valves per cylinder, Central injection (single-point or single- point), top speed 150 km/h, 0–100 not measured. The 91 hp Diesel trio uses Turbo, 1973 cc, 170 mm clearance, and has 0–100, top speed, and consumption not measured.
