Nissan Serena is a full-size compact minivan with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Nissan Serena (C23 body) first appeared in 1990 in Japan. Since the end of 1992 it has been produced in Spain. Among the station wagons with increased capacity, the Nissan Serena is one of the smallest. The car has a rather high body (1840 mm), which is much larger than its width (1710 mm), while the length of the car is 4315 mm. Thus, in the cabin it is possible to place two seats in front, in the back - two two-seater sofas, not particularly wide and not very comfortable - there are not even armrests. The middle one, as is often the case, has an additional folding seat o Nissan Serena Buses & Microbuses in Kenya n the right at the door. With this arrangement, no more than eight people fit inside, while you should forget about the trunk - there is simply nowhere to place it. However, if a smaller number of people are sent on a trip, then, if necessary, an acceptable seating arrangement is selected, which frees up space for cargo (from 350 to 700 liters). The interior is simple and modest. The driver's seat has a primitive design for today, typical for the "Japanese" of those years, and ergonomics. The driver's seat rotates 180 degrees and has only two adjustments, and even those are mechanical. The front panel is unpretentious, but not without a pleasant roundness. The selector of the machine, being a decent size, constantly reminds of itself. The steering wheel is small and thanks to hydraulic power does not require the application of force - you can turn it with one finger. The steering column is adjustable in tilt angle, windows and mirrors are equipped with electric drives. Visibility due to large rear-view mirrors is quite satisfactory. An air conditioner was also installed, although the interior, which is not hot in summer, thanks to two hatches and three lowered windows, allows you to do without air conditioning. Passengers in the second row of seats feel quite comfortable due to the large legroom. The third folding row of seats is much less convenient, since, firstly, it is inconvenient to climb there even with the back of the right seat of the second row reclined. Secondly, there is nowhere to put your legs. It will be convenient there only for children. Unlike many competitors, the Nissan Serena cannot, when folded, turn the middle row of seats into a table. The cars are equipped with R4 gasoline engines with an electronic injection system of 1.6 and 2.0 liters with a capacity of 97 and 126 hp. respectively, as well as a 2.0-liter diesel (CD20T) with a capacity of 66 hp. In 1995, a 2.3-liter diesel engine with 135 hp was added to the range of engines. Although the CD20T is not considered a very reliable engine, with a timely oil change (after 5000 km and of course when using at least Korean oils), there are no problems with fuel consumption, power and compression. The engines are aggregated with a 5-speed manual gearbox, an “automatic” was installed for an additional fee, it is mainly found on the Japanese all-wheel drive version - Nissan Vanette. The maximum speed, depending on the engine, is from 135 to 170 km/h. On the road, the car demonstrates a constant rear end toss, not very clear grip, however, the steering sensitivity is sharper than that of many competitors, and the body “falls” less in corners, but the side wind affects very much, so the Serena “floats” on the road starting at speeds of 80-90 km/h. Quite clearly audible engine does not add comfort at all. In addition to noise and increased "jumping", the disadvantages include a rather weak undercarriage - the front suspension is rather weak, ball joints are clearly not designed for high mileage on our roads, the rear suspension is lever, on simple springs that leave much to be desired. Front brakes are ventilated disc, rear - drum. The maneuverability of the car is good, you can easily turn around in a fairly limited space (turning circle 10.8 m). At the end of 1996, new bumpers were installed on the Serena model. In 2000, the premiere of a new generation of Nissan Serena took place - a minivan with a transverse engine, rear or all-wheel drive. The design of the car has become more aggressive.
