The all-new Nissan Sylphy has just premiered at the
Shanghai Auto Show. The new Sylphy has a much sleeker and more refined exterior
look to the vehicle it replaces. The front includes sharp
headlights and fog lights in the lower portion of the bumper, as well as a
black grille with a three-dimensional V-motion design.
The rear also looks
particularly good thanks to the presence of bold character lines on the sides
of the bumper and new taillights. Nissan says the re-designed exterior of the new
Sylphy means it has a drag coefficient of just 0.26, equal to that of the
Nissan GT-R.
The Japanese car manufacturer has yet to announce
important powertrain details for the vehicle, except for the fact that it uses
its new HR16DE Gen 3 intelligent drive engine mated to an Xtronic transmission.
Additional details about this powertrain will likely be announced as the
Shanghai Auto Show progresses.
Moving inside and you’ll find that the
latest Nissan Sylphy offers seating for five people and will be offered with
black, light grey, or tan trimmings. Found in the center of the dashboard is an
8-inch infotainment screen while there is a smaller 7-inch digital gauge
cluster.
Other important technologies incorporated into the
new car include Intelligent Trace Control, Intelligent Ride Control, and
Emergency Brake for Pedal Misapplication. There’s also Intelligent Forward
Collision Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Cross Traffic
Alert, and Intelligent Driving Alert.
Prices for the new Nissan Sylphy haven’t been
announced.
