The Nissan Serena NISMO arrives on the Japanese market and we are left wanting to see it here

There are models that do not reach our market or that have been replaced by others, more in line with the needs of Spanish drivers. The Nissan Serena was sold in Spain, but disappeared after a short time, although in Japan it remains present. This commercial vehicle has now received a more sporty treatment, which allows it to enter the NISMO range of the Japanese brand.

The Nissan Serena NISMO features all the characteristics that are usually found in the brand’s sporty range. In the central part we find a skirt with the air intakes that are present on other NISMO models, accompanied by LED daytime running lights. A red stripe runs along the entire lower part of the bodywork, and the NISMO logo appears on the grille.

The alloy wheels it wears are exclusive to this version and give it a sporty look that forms part of the bolder spirit compared to the other versions. The interior has a very different appearance, with Alcantara and leather on the seats, offering a level of comfort not found in the rest of the versions. In addition, the front seats can be replaced by other, sportier models, which reduce comfort but offer more safety and anchorage.

As a sporty version should, it has received several changes to elements such as the suspension, which gets new springs and dampers. With just the press of a button, the stability control is switched off, which allows a good result when you want to experience the car on a circuit.

Besides a spectacular exterior, the interior matches. In addition to the upholstery and the sporty seats, this model has other features very attractive to the driver. A seven-inch screen has been added, accompanied by numerous decorative elements in red. The three-spoke steering wheel is trimmed with Alcantara and the gear lever knob has a leather covering, which adds an elegant touch that raises the overall tone of the cabin.

It also features the PROPILOT system typical of Nissan and, regarding the engine, the four-cylinder, 2.0-litre engine has been retuned to deliver slightly more 147 CV, which is the output of the standard version of the model. With this model, as with other Nissan models, it is shown that the sporty spirit can be found in every model of the brand. What do you think of this spectacular model that goes beyond a commercial vehicle?
