ProPILOT autonomous drive in new Nissan Serena wins 2016-2017 Japan Car of the Year Innovation Award
Nissan ProPILOT autonomous drive technology in the new #nissan #serena has won the 2016-2017 Japan Car of the Year Innovation Award. The win came after exhaustive testing by the J-COTY jury.
The awards ceremony took place December 9th at the Tokyo International Exchange Center. In remarks, the J-COTY jury explained why the Innovation Award went to the #nissan #serena with ProPILOT: "The J-COTY jury members have awarded the new #serena featuring #nissan ProPILOT this year's Innovation Award for the advanced driving safety systems available. This technology offering in the affordable #mpv segment is a notable leap forward in the democratisation of fully advanced safety and comfort systems. We also praise the dual rear door and effortless hands-free sliding side-door functions."
On sale since August 2016 under the concept “Big, Easy & Fun”, the fully redesigned fifth-generation #serena available with ProPILOT has been well received by Japanese customers. #nissan has more than 30,000 orders for the innovative and spacious #mpv since launch.
Certainly key to Serena’s success is ProPILOT autonomous drive technology – a central part of #nissan Intelligent Mobility’s Intelligent Drive philosophy. The winning version of ProPILOT in use on the new #serena allows automated highway single-lane-keeping and, for maintaining safe forward distance in heavy traffic situations, Piloted STOP & GO.
These Intelligent Drive capabilities are firsts in this segment: a sign of what #nissan plans for ProPILOT in its products in Japan and around the world.
Recently in November, #nissan #serena with ProPILOT autonomous drive technology also won the RJC Car of the Year and Technology of the Year awards for 2016 respectively, as voted by the RJC [Automotive Researchers' and Journalists' Conference of Japan] jury. Now winning the Japan Car of the Year Innovation Award confirms that #serena is the right product at the right time, and that ProPILOT responds directly to customers’ priorities.
