The outline of the next improved Serena is gradually becoming clearer. In the minor change, which is expected to be announced in mid-December, it is said that it will gradually raise the thickness of the marketability and steer in the direction of "quietly raising the class" with a focus on high-end grades. Based on the information obtained this time, I would like to organize it in the style of Goo Magazine.
First of all, the front area of the main "Highway Star" and the top-of-the-line "Luxion" will be renewed. The current model also has a strong presence, but the new design has a stronger horizontal tone and gives the impression of increased surface tension. The amount of plating is adjusted to give the way it shines, and the tailoring is to improve the texture rather than power. In addition, the aluminum wheel design will also be changed. On the other hand, the standard model XV and X grades will not be changed from the current model.
The front face gives the Luxion a more premium look, and the Highway Star V has a sportier design. The CG introduced this time is the exterior of the Luxion, but in the case of the Highway Star V, the center of the grille is blacked out.
The front design of the customized model AUTECH/AUTECH Sport Spec will also be changed, and the "Serena AUTECH LINE" is expected to be set as a new character. Unlike the conventional AUTECH, it is a specification intended to be more suitable for everyday life, and it is not sporty, but combines modest decorations and exclusive parts, and it seems to be a model that is easy to accept even for family-oriented users.
In terms of functional enhancements, the driver interface of the Nissan Connect infotainment system has also been renewed. The intelligent around monitor is equipped with a new 3D view that allows you to check the situation around the vehicle in three dimensions, and in addition to "3D view", "invisible food view", and "front wide view", it is also possible to call by viewpoint registration. The handling performance required of a minivan is an area where the perception difference is greater than the numerical value, and it can be seen that the "sense of security" in the city and parking lot will be further deepened.
In terms of equipment, the manufacturer's optional rear seat monitor has been increased in size from 11 inches to 15.6 inches. The USB power port is integrated into Type-C, and a rear seat reminder is added to prevent misplacement of the rear seat. And the top-of-the-line "Luxion" adopts a tailor-fit seat that emphasizes the feel and skin feel. In addition, the e-Pedal Step setting can now be continued even if the power is turned off, and the meter content of the electric 4WD e-4ORCE car has been updated to improve various conveniences.
There is also a change in body color. Turquoise blue, Rikyu, cardinal red, and azurite blue will disappear, and new moonbow blue, deep ocean blue, and aqua mint will be added. The transition of tone from vividness to depth can be seen through. A color that blends in with the city and feels the quality as you get closer. As a direction, it can be read as raising the level of high-quality quality. The debut will be in mid-December as introduced at the beginning. It is expected to be released in February 2026.
