Comparison: Boot space Nissan Serena vs. competitors 2025

How has the Serena's boot space evolved, you may inquire? Since the days of the C23 model (1993-2000), the Serena has understood the assignment, providing an ample 350 liters of boot space, ballooning to a vanquishing 2580 liters once you've folded the rear benches down. Generously sized for the era, it was the quintessential answer to the age-old question: 'But will it fit?'

In the domestic Nissan stable, the Serena has siblings, each with its own luggage-stowing credentials. Its cousin, the Micra, dashes around with a modest 300 liters - perfect for zipping through urban jungles but scarcely a match for the Serena. The Leaf, charmingly electric, fits a respectable 400 liters, while the Juke posts a cheeky 422 liters. Moving up, you've got the Qashqai and its 504 liters, the SUV-ish X-Trail offering 585 liters, and then the commercial comrades, Townstar EV Kombi and Townstar Kombi, both suggesting a van-like 775 liters. However, none of the siblings can truly overshadow the Serena's knack for swallowing luggage whole.

And when it comes to its rivals, how does our beloved Serena fare? Craning its neck to the upper echelons, it can't help but gaze in slight envy at the cavernous depths of the Land Rover Range Rover Sport with its bullish 958 liters. It humbly acknowledges that the Mercedes-Benz Vaneo offers more at 715 liters. But then, with a glint in its headlight, it sees triumph against the likes of the petite Nissan Cube and its 260 liters, tsk-tsks at the Lancia Musa and Ford B-MAX, both fluttering below 320 liters, and stands toe-to-toe with the Toyota Yaris Verso at a comparable 390 liters. It's a mixed bag of competitor comparisons, really, but the Serena plays its role perfectly within its segment, offering a balance of size and practicality that very few can argue with.
