Is the Sylphy automatic or manual transmission?
2 Answers
The Sylphy is equipped with both a pure manual transmission and a CVT continuously variable transmission, which is an automatic transmission. Below are the relevant details about the Sylphy: Smart Features: The new Sylphy comes with the latest Nissan Connect super-intelligent system, featuring an external 8-inch HD capacitive touchscreen that includes functions such as voice control and remote vehicle control. Voice control allows basic operations of the vehicle's online entertainment system, all-time online navigation, Bluetooth calls, driving recorder, and air conditioning through simple voice commands. Powertrain: The Sylphy is powered by a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine that complies with the China VI emission standards, delivering a maximum power of 99kW (135 horsepower) and a peak torque of 159Nm. The transmission system is paired with a CVT gearbox.
I've been driving a Nissan Sylphy for over three years. This car usually comes with an automatic transmission, especially the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which makes driving incredibly smooth. In city traffic, there's no need for frequent gear shifting, saving a lot of effort. Manual transmission versions do exist, mainly in mid-to-low trim models, but they're not very common in the market. My neighbor bought a manual version and said it offers stronger control and is cheaper, but for me, the automatic transmission is more convenient for daily commuting. The automatic transmission in the Sylphy is optimized for fuel efficiency, with about 10% lower fuel consumption compared to similar cars in its class. Maintenance is also simple, just requiring regular transmission fluid changes. Overall, the experience is great, and I don't worry about steep mountain roads when taking my family out on weekends. I recommend beginners or families to prioritize the automatic transmission—it's worry-free and practical.
