Sylphy feels a bit unstable at high speeds. Below is relevant information about the Sylphy: Introduction: The Sylphy is a mid-size sedan under Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd., and is one of the most typical mainstream family sedans in the Chinese market. On August 28, 2020, the 2021 Sylphy under Dongfeng Nissan was officially launched. The new car, based on the 14th generation Sylphy, further added more intelligent human-machine interaction technology, exterior accessories, and comfort configurations, with a total of 4 models released. Powertrain: Equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine that meets the China VI emission standards, with a maximum power of 99kW (135 horsepower) and a peak torque of 159Nm, paired with a CVT transmission.
I've been driving the Sylphy on highways for many years, and honestly, it feels a bit floaty, especially when the speed exceeds 120 km/h or on windy days. Newer models like the 14th-generation Sylphy have stiffer suspensions, which significantly reduce the floating sensation, but older or base models are softer. Paying attention to tire condition is crucial—low pressure or shallow tread can easily cause floating. It's recommended to maintain the correct tire pressure, around 220 kPa. Floating on the highway affects handling safety. Once, during strong crosswinds, my car swayed, and I immediately reduced speed to below 100 km/h to stabilize it. Regular maintenance of the suspension system can effectively reduce this issue. Don't underestimate it—safety is no small matter.
