Oct 17, 2003 – A fusion of sport sedan and MPV, the Serenity is Nissan’s proposal for a next-generation multipurpose saloon:

- With a 'Japanese DNA' design theme, Serenity projects a refined tranquility characteristic of Japanese culture.  For example, the side windows have a distinctive shape reminiscent of a folding fan and the front mask suggests Kabuki facial make-up. The interior is inspired by Japanese elements such as ink paintings, cherry blossoms and wave-like patterns.

- Ergonomically designed, stress-free seats provide comfortable interior roominess.  Based on the concept of 'neutral posture', the seats recline to disperse a seated occupant’s body pressure so as to avoid putting any strain on the lower back.

- Human-machine interfaces and cutting-edge information technologies include the '4 HMI' concept that facilitates stress-free, centralized control and the “Horizontal Meter Unit” for optimal and timely presentation of information to the driver.
