日产将在东京车展发布SerenaMPV的E-Power混动版本，该车将于明年春季上市。从目前日产官方发布的信息来看，全新的日产SerenaE-Power将采用一套取自日产Note的动力总成，这套系统以内燃机作为电动机的动力来源提供动力，也就是一套增程式的电动动力系统。而关于这套动力的详细细节，包括输出功率，燃油经济性或行驶里程等，日产并没有公布具体的参数，只是表示，日产SerenaE-Power将会提供一套强大的并且加速响应迅速的动力，同时拥有高级别的经济性表现。除了高科技的动力系统之外，日产SerenaE-Power也将标配Propilot半自动驾驶系统，可以让车辆在单车道高速路上自动行驶。在外观上，日产SerenaE-Power保留了与普通版车型的一致，只不过在进气格栅的位置进行了蓝色的配色以示区分。另外，大灯也采用了LED光源，与之匹配的轮圈采用了更加符合空气动力学的设计。车厢内也增加了一些蓝色装饰件。
Nissan Serena E-Power Is A Range-Extended Hybrid Minivan
Nissan will give its Serena minivan some hybrid assistance with the introduction of the new E-Power variant at the Tokyo Motor Show. The model will hit the road there in spring 2018.
The hybrid Serena uses the same E-Power drivetrain that’s available in the Note in some markets. The setup consists of an internal combustion engine that can act as range extender for the batteries powering the electric motor. The drivetrain derives many of its components from what’s in the Leaf. Nissan doesn’t offer any details about the E-Power system’s specs in the Serena, including info about output, efficiency, or range. However, the firm promises “it will also offer the powerful, responsive acceleration of an electric-drive vehicle, along with above-its-class quietness and excellent fuel efficiency."
In addition to its high-tech powertrain, Nissan will offer the Serena E-Power with the latest version of the Propilot semi-autonomous system that’s capable of maintaining a vehicle in a single lane on the highway.
To denote the E-Power drivetrain, Nissan gives this version of the Serena blue accents in the grille, different LED headlights, and a new set of wheels with a more aerodynamic design. There are also some small, cerulean accents in the cabin.
