Simple, to know the price, bring any check book to TCM showroom, showing you are very confirm to get one. Then the SA will tell lots of their info.

So you have given them your check and that's why you know the price has been set at rm149k?

I am not an expert but from what I read, technolgy and cost wise PRIUS > JazzHybrid > Serena S-Hybrid and if price diff btw JazzHybrid and JazzPetrol is less than 10%, Serena S-Hybrid which uses a simple additional battery should be priced cheaper than at RM149K (compare to Serena @RM97K a diff of 53%), both prices after tax exemption.

why u need to compare with other brand hybrid price over petrol ver.? As simple as it is, get the price from nissan japan website, all actual prices are there.

About the check? Make a guess. HAHA

It's tiring talking to a person not on the same wavelength. By comparing only then we know @rm149k the S-Hybrid is overpriced. Moreover we are comparingwith cars of better hybrid/battery technology. The 10% diff of Serena and S-Hybrid are based on the lowest prices of the respective models taken from Nissan Japan website(~rm69k vs rm76k). Knowing these prices and Serena Price in langkawi we can roughly estimate the price of S-hybrid. Assuming no other cost, S-Hybrid(highway star) should be rm97000.*76/69=rm107k

Bro MGM where u get the S-Hybrid price in Langkawi?? The Nissan website price for the current SERENA is very different ( very outdated ) C24 model. S-Hybrid model is C26....

By the way , just got SA informed that the car is launching on 23 July at TCM showroom Melati.

Does this Serena S-Hybrid can get our government tax exemption?

Oh? Only available in Tmn Melati showroom on 23july?? I thought all show room have it?

The official launch is next Tues morning at Setia Mall so the official price will be out by then.

Where and when can I see the real car??

Yup. The price given now is already exempted from govt tax. Till this year end only.

If you are talking about the price of rm149k, then it is definately overpriced.

TOTALLY AGREED.

Seems abit over price for this level of mpv. RM 150k can get a lot of better car. Serena chasis is more or less like nissan B segment such as latio, syphy, nv 200 and livina. They only modified it with longer wheel base and add. height.

Its well accepted in japan and hk as they mostly use more city drive and limited space. In contrary we got more highway and more comfortable parking space here, RM 150k is more justified to get those D segment cars ,instead.

Considering Mazda 5 or Pug 5008 ....

I really need to rant about Nissan cars now. IMHO.

WTF is Nissan doing? I mean, our own ETC is ruining nissan nowadays.

CVT Gearbox - In an Almera, Latio, it's great. But seriously, they fitted CVT to all vehicles. Seriously, a CVT in a X-Trail, Teana, Elgrand, Murano, Serena?!?!!? Doesn't make sense at all! (Luckily they don't fit a CVT in a GT-R, THANK GOD). CVT only saves fuel but it ruins all the fun. 6-speed auto would be great.

Design - Look at Almera and you'll know what i mean.

Warranty - Seriously?! 3 years only? Most car manufacturers offer up to 5 years warranty. Some with unlimited mileage??

Equipment - Equipment is not really what you call "a lot". They're even so proud that they've fitted a Blind Spot Monitoring System in the Teana, controlled with a switch from the 1980s. And the cars we received here is so ripped off, adui... extreme facepalm.



X-Trail - My family owned one since 2004 and we decided to keep it. Why? It's great! But look at the X-Trail TC brought in these days. 2.0 2WD only. The X-Trail used to be one of the best selling off-road SUVs but now 2WD? 2.0?! CVT??!!

Serena S-Hybrid - Serena is already well known for underpower. Now even worse, hybrid. And the biggest problem of all, the price tag.

I seriously hope that TC would just rethink about what they did. IMHO Nissan is getting backwards nowadays.

LOL, dude, please go through all other manufacturers first before making such a funny statements!

the mpv is having launching tomolo, dono when can have test drive..

Called their SA, car no yet reach their show room, don't know where to see the car tomorrow also......

obviously you don't know how good and advance is nissan's cvt. go read more. it's different from the typical cvt

they're proud with the BSMS because they can. teana is the only jap d segment in the market currently other than mazda 6 to be fitted which such safety system.

and who the heck told you hybrid is underpowered ?

Can I know if anyone has placed a booking for this car ..... and if there is any extra offer top of the early bird promotion from earlier this month. (Early bird promo i know is - Free maintenance services , Free PA and lower interest rate from TC Capital - 2.38 to 2.75%)

I had a chance to test drive the car today, and SA informed that the 6.5 inch multimedia navigation will be thrown in for free for early bird bookings.

Price of the additional accessories off a flyer I received today:

6.5inch multimedia navigator - RM 3300
10.1" roof=mount LCD panel - RM 700
Combination leather seat & door panel - RM 2800
V-Kool - RM 3400 (ELITE) | RM 2950 (Armorcoat)
Solar Gard - RM 1500
Door Visor - RM 400

No confirmation on the price yet (was told lesser than 150K), but SA confirmed that the official launch will be at Setia City Convention Centre on Tuesday, 23/7/2013.

I was initially hoping that leather seats was a standard fitment...

Just launched @ RM 149,500 otr.
Looks quite good.
Both the car and the models.
