Just checked.with tc jalan ipoh, really can book now by paying 1k.
But hesitated when ask about my G.Livina trade in price, they take only 53k for
my 2010 car......
low resale value even with TC, so disappointed...

Ha ha what you can expected?

Cause in Nissan had too many budget car.

Unless you sell to friend.

I have placed a booking earlier this month... and was wondering about the extras that comes along from your SA if you have also booked a unit.

On top of the early bird promotion running earlier (Free maintenance services , Free PA and lower interest rate from TC Capital - 2.38 to 2.75%), I was told that the 6.5 inch multimedia navigation will be thrown in for free as well for early bird bookings.

Price 50% higher than Innova,...with hybrid tax exemption already this price, if w/o then > 200k? ETCM think money grow on tree?
If want to make it feel luxury at least put leather seats, beige interior & 6 airbags.

from the picture
the outlook looks ugly
the interior looks cheap plasticky feel, like low end subspecies china car
but sell with an mainstream japan build car price
first is almera, now this serena, something very wrong with the nissan designer team
i doubt they would able to sell out any of these car if not for the badge of nissan

Is this a "real" hybrid? The SA told me it is different from Toyota & Honda systems.
Wonder it is a cost saving MPV with a small hybrid system just to escape heavy CBU tax?

Prefer to buy a Innova. Value for the money.

Let me quote some facts here as example to gauge whether this new Serena hybrid is overpriced?

1) Civic Hybrid selling RM119k in Peninsular and 116k in Langkawi ... The 3k different perhaps is because of the 10% sales tax? It mean if excise duty and imports duty are exempted, the Hybrid car selling in Peninsular should be not much different compared to the car sold in Langkawi

2) Premium mpv like S-max (2.0 turbo engine) is selling for RM199k in peninsular while in Langkawi is selling for RM109k. The huge different of 90k is because s-max is not an hybrid car thus excise duty and import duty are applicable for Peninsular

My doubt is :

1) Is the manufacturing cost of Serena MPV simple hybrid higher than S-Max 2.0 turbo / ecoboost? If not why Serena hybrid is selling @ RM149k? If yes it mean this simple hybrid systems is much more costly to build compared to turbo powered engine s-max which also come with much more accessories like 9 airbags, better sound systems, sun roof etc ... Not sure about this

2) If Serena Hybrid is not exempted from excise duty / import tax, it should be selling at around 250k or slightly below ... Is this Serena Hybrid really worth for RM250k if it is not tax exempted ?

Anybody has better view / explanation on this?

I'm keen to see if government not to continue the excise duty exemption and import tax after Dec 2013, what would be the selling price of this Serena Hybrid ...

By the way, I'm having a NGL and very keen to upgrade to this new Serena Hybrid but is this RM149k a fair price in view government is giving full exemption on excise duty and import tax ?

I used to own a C24, the 1st modern Serena, more than 10 years ago. I bought it at RM145K. It was a great MPV except the power was just enough for daily use. In the event where you need the power to go up Genting in full load, it would not win any speed contest.

Saw this C26 hybrid at 1 U last week. I must say the interior material has improved tremendously, very near to Estima quality (which I had after the Serena). With so much upgrade and modern technology, it is sold only for RM150K!! I felt that I was conned for the C24 10 years ago!!!

To be fair, if you are looking for a roomy walk-through kind of MPV, you can't find a better choice. Innova is frame-on-chasis (van based) and the build quality is way below this. Exora is just no match for everything except the price.

Those who loath supporting the open AP holders and those who don't want to pay a similar price for a 6-7 year old Estima has not much options.

Agreed with you.
Traded in my C24 for this C26 Hybrid.
