About the Nissan Serena C25
The C25-generation Nissan Serena was a dominant force in the Japanese MPV market, holding the title of best-selling minivan in Japan from 2007 to 2009. The Rider trim, developed by Nissan's conversion subsidiary Autech, adds a distinct aesthetic with a bold chrome grille, unique aero body parts, and a sportier interior. Built on the Renault-Nissan C platform, it features a space-efficient 'one-box' design with large windows and dual sliding doors. While primarily a practical family hauler, the Rider version offers a more premium, custom look that has made it a popular choice for grey-market imports in the UK and Southeast Asia.
