Nissan Makes Partial Updates to Serena, Launches Limited-Time 35th Anniversary Black Edition

Nissan Motor made partial changes to the specifications of its minivan, the Serena, on November 5, 2026, and launched it with prices starting at ¥2,789,600. The top-grade LUXION is ¥201,300 cheaper than the previous model, at ¥4,797,100. A special Black Edition marking the 35th anniversary of the model’s launch will also be available for a limited time.

The LUXION’s price has been cut by ¥201,300, while the Hot Plus Package and Clear View Package have become standard equipment, so buyers will need to compare both price and equipment. The special edition is based on two drivetrain types. Since Nissan has not disclosed its sales period or production volume, it can currently be viewed as an additional option.

The LUXION’s price has been cut by ¥201,300, while the Hot Plus Package and Clear View Package have become standard equipment. The product has therefore been revised not only in price but also in its equipment configuration, and the price difference cannot be regarded as a reduction for an otherwise identical specification. A key point in this update is how the equipment-inclusive pricing affects the choice of the higher-grade model. The updates vary by grade. The LUXION now includes packages related to cold-weather conditions and visibility as standard, while the Highway Star V now includes the Adaptive LED Headlight System as standard. The ProPILOT 2.0 driver-assistance system will continue to be offered. These changes reorganize equipment by grade in an existing model; Nissan has not announced an update to the system that makes driving decisions. Our coverage of Nissan’s next-generation ProPILOT with AI from Wayve and Valeo concerned next-generation driver-assistance technology. Nissan’s announcement on the Serena update covers changes to the current model’s equipment and pricing, and the two should not be treated as the same technology introduction. Model updates and development of next-generation systems are developments on different timelines. The Black Edition is based on the e-POWER and e-4ORCE versions of the Highway Star V, with exclusive colors and interior and exterior changes that distinguish it from existing grades. It is not the addition of a new drivetrain, but an offering of existing specifications as a special edition. The announcement does not specify the limited sales period, production volume or prices for each specification. Points to watch include the sales terms and how changes to standard equipment are reflected in the price differences among grades.
