The intimate partner at home tested the 2023 Sylphy 1.6L

　　[car home Professional Test] With the increasing market share of new energy vehicles, the traditional fuel vehicles seem to be out of sight. Just like when a car needs to add more qualifiers to keep its sales number one, then its sales volume is really/seems/probably declining. However, for our protagonist Sylphy today, it is still the general trend. After all, at the moment when this fuel vehicle is not strong, it is really not easy for it, as the top seller of fuel vehicles, to still achieve sales of 374,500 units throughout the year.

★ Quickly understand the test results of 2023 Sylphy 1.6L:

◆ 0-100km/h acceleration time is 12.28 seconds;

◆ The braking performance of 100 km/h-0 is 39.88 meters;

◆ The measured fuel consumption is 7.11 L/100 km;

◆ The passing score of Elk is 72.9 km/h.

　　Although Nissan’s performance in 2023 was not satisfactory, and its annual sales volume was less than 700,000 units, Sylphy, as a bearer, sold 374,500 units, which is really the rhythm of a car to set off a brand. As a "very capable" player, what is Xuanyi’s real kung fu? Is it really just a flower shelf that is comfortable to sit on? I think the answer should be …….

■　This appearance is absolutely popular.

　　"I" is obviously Nissan. Why do you call me Volkswagen? Haha, don’t worry. I just said it looks like a Volkswagen fan. Indeed, in the market around 100,000 yuan, what everyone needs is a car that can take into account more usage scenarios. The more it can meet the needs of users, then it will certainly perform well in sales, and Sylphy just did it.

　　In this class of Sylphy, in fact, everyone’s size is not bad. Compared with Corolla and Bora, the data difference is very small, and everyone is basically the same.

　　After this change, the front grille part of the new Sylphy is further optimized, and the overall style is closer to the sound of nature, with a sense of sight. This has always been the usual design method of major manufacturers. The appearance of Sylphy, which was redesigned in the middle period, did not change much. As a real family car, the more it can meet the aesthetics of more people, then it must have positive significance for its sales growth. From the results of Sylphy’s sales crown of other fuel vehicles, everyone’s acceptance of it is still very high.

　　The interior part focuses on a warm home style. For example, the previously popular floating screen is also equipped. The combination of the three circular air conditioning outlets and the round bottom steering wheel can show its slightly sporty atmosphere. In addition, in terms of color matching, it provides all-black and black-brown color matching. In contrast, this black-brown color matching will have a stronger sense of warmth at home.

　　The performance in seating space is at the mainstream level of the same level, but the performance of Nissan’s seats in comfort is really good, and the soft seat filling better guarantees the comfort of long-term riding. However, the raised rear middle floor still has some influence on the comfort of the rear middle passengers when they are fully loaded, and it is more appropriate to use it occasionally in case of emergency.

　　Storage space, whether in the front row or the back row, is a sufficient level. The volume of the trunk needs to be emphasized. Take the 1.6L fuel version we tested this time as an example. Its trunk volume actually reached 560L, which is really too large, even larger than the trunk of Mercedes-Benz S. Can you stand it?

■　Power 1.6L+CVT

　　At present, Sylphy on sale includes Sylphy, Classic Sylphy and Sylphy’s ultra-hybrid electric drive, which is the familiar e-POWER extended range system. Sylphy and Classic Sylphy are both equipped with 1.6L engines, with maximum power of 135 and 122 horsepower, respectively, and peak torque of 159 and 155 Nm, which match Nissan’s traditional CVT gearbox. On the other hand, the extended-range vehicle uses a three-cylinder 1.2L engine as the range extender. The power of the driving motor is 136 HP and the peak torque is 300 Nm. The transmission system is matched with a single-gear fixed gear ratio gearbox.

　　Sylphy has always given us a comfortable impression, and this generation of cars is no exception. The curb weight of less than 1.3 tons makes this 1.6L engine very light to drag, especially at the start and at low and medium speeds. The linear power output of the 1.6L engine makes you more comfortable when walking around the city in daily life.

　　Some people will say that its 1.6L power is a little weak, and it really lacks a little passion compared with those 1.5T power models on competing products. This is understandable, but Sylphy’s e-POWER model can fill this part of the shortcomings well. The extended-range power system feels similar to a pure tram when driving most of the time, and its power performance is sufficient and direct.

　　Back to our Sylphy with 1.6L+CVT power, the smoothness of the gearbox is obvious to all. The characteristics of CVT gearbox and Nissan’s experience in adjustment for so many years make us have enough confidence in this power. In daily driving, its sense of participation is very low, and its ride comfort is worthy of recognition. In addition, the lighter steering is another factor that makes driving easy. We often say that the electronic smell of the car is getting stronger and stronger, and it lacks a little mechanical sense. But for the car with home positioning, it really needs more electronic assistance, light power and the power is not strong but linear after the accelerator is stepped on. Isn’t this the feeling that most people need in daily driving?

　　In the noise part, it is necessary to emphasize that when driving at medium and high speed, the whole noise is too large, and the NVH of the whole vehicle still has room for improvement in suppressing wind noise and road noise.

■　All AEB tests passed within 60 km/h.

　　The intelligent driving version we tested is equipped with L2 driver assistance function, and then we will take a look at its test results in this part. It’s 4,000 yuan more expensive than the Enjoyable version with a lower configuration, and I think the extra driver assistance system is fully worth the price difference.

　　Let’s first take a look at two common working conditions of AEB in the face of children’s ghost probes and mobile electric motorcycles, which are very common in our daily urban vehicles. This Sylphy version of the car has performed well in these two projects. Vehicles can detect moving objects in time, make sound reminders in the car, and brake the vehicles in time to avoid collisions. The calibration of this AEB system is mature, and the whole braking action at work is natural, which can be praised.

　　In the AEB test, we passed the tests of 10km/h, 20km/h, 30km/h, 40km/h, 50km/h and 60km/h respectively, and with the increase of vehicle speed, the braking advance will increase linearly, and the system will feel more natural when braking, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of rear-end collision accidents in daily cities at low speed. However, collisions cannot be avoided at higher speeds, so you should pay more attention when driving.

　　In terms of midway acceleration performance, its 40-80km/h is 5.9 seconds, and 80-120km/h is 8.47 seconds. From this performance alone, it is really too domestic. In the whole accelerated testing process, it is surprisingly smooth, basically without any sense of pushing back, and the final result is naturally more ordinary.

　　In the tests of acceleration, braking, braking, elk and fuel consumption, most of the results of this 1.6L Sylphy are expected, but its fuel consumption is actually slightly higher than we expected. In addition to the home market, Sylphy also has a certain share in the travel market. Compared with those plug-in models, this fuel consumption performance has not been opened in terms of price and fuel consumption performance.

Summary:

　　In 1959, Nissan introduced the first generation of Sylphy, and in 2006, the 12th generation model began to enter China, and the cumulative sales reached 300W+. As the most successful model of Nissan in China, Sylphy is also one of the first choices among many family cars. On the whole, it is still a car with balanced comprehensive performance, regardless of its shape, configuration or driving assistance. In terms of sales volume, the more affordable classic Sylphy is also contributing to its own strength, while the e-POWER model has a good balance between power and energy consumption, and a variety of optional models are also its competitiveness. So on the whole, when we choose a compact family car, it is still the one that will be included in the alternative list. (Text/Figure car home Dong Liu)
