Nissan Serena Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1999–2005) — Second Generation
The second-generation Nissan Serena is a practical family minivan, built around space, visibility and easy access. Its versions differ mainly in how they are powered, which shapes running costs and the way the van drives day to day.
Each Nissan Serena engine suits a different routine. The 2.0 CVT pairs gasoline smoothness with all-wheel drive and a stepless transmission for relaxed town driving, while diesel versions favour economy on longer runs: the 2.5 AT shifts automatically, and the 2.3 MT keeps manual control, both driving the front wheels.
