These mpv is having some unusual spec as we familiar with.
Which is.... no spare tire provided ...

Just go info from the nissan SA minimum price 149k without insurance. Means its 150k above mpv....

As commented by most forumers in Hong Kong who receive this new c26 earlier this year,the fc is around 10km/l to 12km/l only. Not as efficient as quoted by nissan japan official statement of 15.2km/l. This is mostly due to hotter climate in HK which reduce the iddle start stop efficiency I.e. engine would always on to drive the air cond. Can't imagine how much left the shybrid saving when its in Malaysia....
take my word, dont expect the 15.2km/l to be achieved anywhere in Malaysia

At 150k there are plenty of choices of good quality cars though it may not an MPV. The truth why poeple choose recond mpv like alphard or estima may not 100% becos of the need of space but becos of good features offered within.
With such strip off and that price range, TCM may not attract much potential buyers...

Believe very soon TCM will introduce CKD ver. with more ripping off at lower price..
Cos gov policy will end the hybrid duty exemption by introducing more tax relief for local assembled hybrid car.
Not worried too much about price hike for tis SERENA S-Hybrid, gov now is under pressure to reduce car price .
Eventually we may get other car/ MPV with less price or better spec (if car dealers not willing to reduce price).
The choice is ours as consumer. We reserves the right to refuse the products thats having to many levels of exploitation.

With the exemption of 75% excise duty, the remaining tax items left only the 30% import duty +10% sales tax.
Says if TCM get the basic ver priced RM 82,461
+30% import duty RM 24,738 = 107,199
+10% sales tax RM 10,719 = 117,918

RM149,500-RM117,918=RM 31,582 - TCM tax/duty?

Bro MGM please wake up from your dream, the S-Hybrid is set with the price of RM 149K oledi.....

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.

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

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 The Nissan website price for the current SERENA is very different ( very outdated ) C24 model.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.

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 ....

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

just test drove the mpv at jalan ipoh branch. feel pretty bumpy at second row seat. weird digital meter. cheap plastic everywhere. seems like all parts are source from china.

Test drive for second round 2day with my queen. No feel of underpower at all. Just noticed tat Idling start stop never activated along 5 km trip. Could be the air cond keeps on running under the hot sun

Not yet decide to take or not, SA told if introduce 1 person they will give rm 500 commission.
Seems got plenty of units left, no urgency to book immediately .

2.38% loan for less than five year loan maybe, SA told that Tan Chong not even interested to consider any 9 years loan.

Thinking of cx5 now, 135 k niah, got 6 air bag.
By the way wats yr curent ride to be trade in?
my g.livina too very low price 52 only .....

Aware of that already. checked crv and cx5, the 17 in spare wheel taken almost 1/3 of the rear space.
Something to give and take, want more space u lose the spare wheel. Want spare wheel , have to sacrifice your space.....
