The fourth generation of the Nissan Serena was introduced in late 2010 in Japan and in 2011 on other markets.
The 2010 Serena introduced an important change in the model’s history lineup. It was the first generation powered by a hybrid powertrain. The large MPV proved itself very useful as a vehicle for big families and as a shuttle.

While its exterior dimensions were slightly increased compared to its predecessor, the 2010 model featured the same wheelbase. Even the design was similar to the third generation, which was introduced in 2005. Its design resembled the one of an LCV, with wide power-sliding doors in the back and a big liftgate in the rear. At the front, the big chromed grille and the sporty-looking apron made the MPV more appealing. It was offered in two length versions to accommodate a bigger luggage compartment.

Inside, the Serena could transport up to eight occupants, depending on the seating configuration. There were three rows of seats, with plenty of room for all of them. In the back, the bench was retractable on the side panels while the second row could have been folded, transforming the car into a large furniture carrier.

The first-ever Nissan hybrid MPV offered a choice of two power outputs. The gasoline unit was a 2.0-liter four-pot engine and paired to an electric motor and a CVT transmission.
