[Next New Nissan Serena] Is June 2021 the shortest for a full model change? Latest information summary

Leaks and scoops of the next new full model change of the popular No. 15 number minivan "Nissan Serena" are coming into the MOBY editorial department one after another, so I will tell you all together.

The current model of Nissan Serena is the 5th generation that underwent a full model change in 2016, and a minor change was made last year (August 2019), and the look has changed.

The current 6th generation is the world's first minivan with advanced safety technology, "ProPilot" equivalent to automatic driving level 2 that supports steering on highways, and a series that uses a power generation engine with 100% driving force as an electric motor. The hybrid " e-POWER " has also been adopted, and it remains highly popular as a minivan that shines with "Nissan of technology."

The face lift that was made in the minor change in 2019 was designed to be reminiscent of Toyota's specialty Oraora front grille, and there were pros and cons, but since it did not affect the actual sales volume, Serena's utility I strongly showed that the height, professional pilot, and e-POWER are the factors to be selected.

Next new full model change forecast & leak latest information

The leak information received from readers about the next new model of Serena is as follows.

The next full model change seems to be August 2022.

A dealer said that a new model might come out around the summer of 2021.

The e-POWER engine seems to be 1.5L

It seems that the design will look like the new Kicks and Aria.

The same "ProPilot 2.0" as the Skyline may be installed

The following is a summary of the MOBY editorial department's expectations and views regarding the debut time of the new Serena, powertrain and design.

The face of the new Ariya will be the next-generation Nissan design language

The design language used for the face of the SUV "Ariya" in Nissan's new EV, which was announced to debut in the middle of 2021, is expected to be adopted for the face of the next new Serena.

Design forecast CG of the next new Nissan Serena obtained by MOBY editorial department in May 2020.

The design of the new compact SUV "Kicks", which debuted in June 2020, incorporates a large "V motion grill" that is common to Ariya.

e-POWER engine expanded from 1.2L to 1.5L

The engine installed in the Nissan Note, Kix, and Serena "e-POWER" is an "HR12DE" in-line 3-cylinder 1.2L gasoline engine. This was first adopted in the "March", which debuted in July 2010.

The engine that has been a player for 10 years (it feels old-fashioned, but it is also a manifestation of being an excellent engine) seems to be the last to be installed in the new Kicks.

The new Serena is expected to be expanded to 1.5L. Since the basic design of the engine is outdated, it will either be significantly improved or a newly developed engine will be installed.

The noisy engine that was unpopular with the "Note e-POWER" has been improved with the new Kicks "e-POWER" to improve quietness and driving quality.

The new Serena has a larger displacement and is more relaxed and quiet because it is quieter than fuel economy (reduced the number of revolutions during power generation) and has been changed to the direction of driving (still good fuel economy). It will realize the sex. This should be greatly influenced by the existence of the biggest rival "Toyota Noah Hybrid".

Equipped with "ProPilot 2.0"

The "ProPilot 2.0" adopted in the "Skyline", which underwent a big minor change in September 2019, is equipped with a driving support system that enables complete free-hand driving (hands-off) on the highway supported by the system.

We can expect to equip the new Serena with the next-generation advanced safety technology "ProPilot 2.0".

Announcement of the next new model of Serena, the release date is shaking

Leak information from readers and other automobile media have different forecasts for the next full model change of Serena. The most likely times at this time are:

·         Summer 2021

·         Within 2021

·         August 2022

The shortest is June 2021, and considering the influence of the new Corona, it seems likely that it will be around December 2021. The August 2022 theory may be a little distant. This is because the next full model change of rival "Toyota Noah / Voxy" is expected to be June 2021 at the earliest.

There is also information that Kicks is delayed in delivery due to the influence of the new Corona. I don't want Serena to lose to rival Noah and Voxy! Good luck Nissan!
