Nissan Serena Malaysia Generations Guide
C26 (2013–2017): MR20DD GDI, sold in Malaysia without S-Hybrid. C27 (2018–present): S-Hybrid, the current Malaysia offering. C27 is the only sensible choice for modern safety and efficiency. CVT condition is the most critical used-car factor. S-Hybrid lithium battery health is an additional check for C27 examples over 5 years old.

Nissan Serena Generations in Malaysia
Malaysia has sold the C25 (2005–2010, 2.0L MR20DE, 7AT) and C26 (2012–2017, 2.0L MR20DD S-Hybrid, CVT), and the current C27 (2018+, 2.0L MR20DD S-Hybrid, Xtronic CVT). The C27 is the most refined and fuel-efficient. C25/C26 owners should pay attention to CVT health and sliding door roller wear. The C27 S-Hybrid battery adds mild hybrid efficiency — battery warranty covers first 5 years/100,000 km.
