JAKARTA - PT Nissan Motor Distributor Indonesia (NMDI) again enlivened the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2026 which took place from July 30 to August 9 at ICE BSD City, Tangerang. The Japanese manufacturer took advantage of this annual automotive exhibition to introduce the latest product and technology lineup aimed at the mobility needs of the Indonesian people.
One of the models that attracted attention at the Nissan booth was the Serena e-POWER. The family MPV with electrification technology was again displayed as the company's mainstay to meet the needs of consumers who want a comfortable, efficient vehicle, while providing a typical electric car driving experience.
President of Nissan ASEAN and Thailand Masao Tsutsumi, said Indonesia has an important role in Nissan's business strategy in the Southeast Asian region. Therefore, the company continues to present products that match the development of consumer needs in the country.
"Indonesia is one of Nissan's main markets in the ASEAN region. Electrification technology represents our vision of future mobility. This entire product line shows our commitment to continue to provide vehicles that are relevant to the evolving needs of Indonesian customers," said Masao Tsutsumi, quoted Friday, August 7.
Nissan Serena e-POWER is aimed at families who need a spacious cabin with a high level of comfort. Its main advantage lies in the e-POWER technology, which provides a driving sensation like an electric car without requiring charging from an external power source.
Unlike conventional hybrid systems, e-POWER technology relies on an electric motor as the main driver of the wheels. Meanwhile, the gasoline engine only serves as a generator to generate electricity which is then channeled into the battery. This concept makes acceleration feel instant and smooth as the character of an electric vehicle.
This MPV uses the second generation e-POWER technology with the HR14 gasoline engine as an electric generator. The power from the engine is then channeled into an electric motor that drives the front wheels. This system produces 163 PS of power and a peak torque of 315 Nm, thus offering responsive performance for everyday use.
To improve driving comfort, the Serena e-POWER is equipped with Nissan Intelligent Driving, including the e-Pedal feature which allows drivers to accelerate, decelerate, and stop just by operating the gas pedal. In addition, Nissan also embeds ProPILOT Assist which is designed to help drivers while driving.
The technology uses cameras and radar sensors to detect road markings and vehicles around, so it can control steering, acceleration, and braking automatically in certain conditions. The presence of this feature is expected to reduce the burden on drivers, especially when traveling long distances or facing traffic jams.
In terms of safety, the Serena e-POWER is equipped with the Nissan 360 Safety Shield package which includes Intelligent Emergency Braking with Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection, Intelligent Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, and Intelligent Driver Attention Alert. Comfort is also a concern for Nissan through a spacious cabin with a flexible seat configuration.
This MPV uses Zero Gravity seats designed to provide a more ergonomic sitting position during travel. Other features that also complement this vehicle include dual back doors, third row seats that can be folded to the side, to touchless electric sliding doors.
All of these features are designed to make it easier for passengers to access and increase the practicality of daily use. On the exterior, the Serena e-POWER comes with the latest V-Motion grille, LED headlights and taillights, 16-inch alloy wheels, and dual-tone color options that strengthen the modern impression.
"With its character as a family MPV, the Serena e-POWER is designed to remain practical for various needs, both for urban travel and long-distance travel. We want to provide a more comfortable and modern mobility experience, while providing convenience for consumers who want to switch to electrified vehicles," said Head of Sales and Product Planning PT Nissan Motor Distributor Indonesia, Bima Aristantyo.
In Indonesia, the Nissan Serena e-POWER is marketed at a price of Rp655 million on the road (OTR) Jakarta. Nissan also provides a five-year or 150,000 kilometer vehicle warranty, as well as a seven-year or 150,000 kilometer warranty for e-POWER components and lithium-ion batteries.
