Hi, I don't see anything on this, anybody have info? Is it the same old body with slight improvements?

Saw an ad sa newspaper, looks similar, but not sure.

Haven't seen it, but it's likely it's the same old banana.

same body w/ facelift but engine upgrade from SR20DE TO QR25DE.
until when are they going to facelift old models?

ang alam ko may bago ilalabas ngaun Nissan Serendra

QR25DE na? So wala na akong source ng bagong SR20 for junkyard swaps? Waaaaah!!! :cry2:

Yup no more SR20. Atleast they updated the engine to a more powerful one, i find the serena a bit underpowered and maybe this would help sa fc? Since less effort is needed to push the car?

Anyway... you may refer to the nissan taiwan website for details on the Serena. As far as I remember, it has back up camera as standard and wood trim na.

i find it odd that nissan here doesn't release updated models. A friend showed me the nissan website in japan, they have over 50 models of cars. but here we only see old stuff. nothing exciting.

Unfortunately, Nissan's presence in the Philippines is handled by two separate entities. Nissan UMC and Nissan Yulon. Nissan Yulon is based in Taiwan, and they've basically been using the Philippines to dump old stock for the past seven or eight years. Open up the hood of a Sentra and you'll see a lot of Taiwanese parts.

I guess this is it.

i was able to ride in an all new serena in HK, power sliding doors pa with moonroof. complete amenities. ganda naman but was not impressed with the interior though..and the stock HU was bland.

the outside look was almost similar to toyota's alphard..but smaller
