Is there a significant difference between the Classic Sylphy's 4AT and CVT transmissions?

[SanKathryn]

4AT transmission is a 4-speed automatic transmission, where you can feel the jerking sensation during gear shifts. The new Sylphy uses a CVT, which is a continuously variable automatic transmission. Since it has no fixed gear settings, the driving experience is very smooth. The 4AT transmission has an advantage over the CVT in terms of initial acceleration and power delivery, while the CVT excels in smoothness and fuel efficiency compared to the 4AT. Below is an introduction to the Classic Sylphy: Exterior: It is one of Dongfeng Nissan's most classic models, consistently emphasizing comfort. Even after adopting a younger family front face, it still maintains unmatched comfort in its class. The Classic Sylphy's exterior design follows a grand and steady route, with no emphasis on youthful individuality. This style seems more appealing to pragmatic, practical consumers and even carries a slight business vibe. Although the exterior lacks strong visual impact, it doesn't hinder the Sylphy from being a very aesthetically pleasing model. The majestic chrome front grille and robust front and rear bumpers keep the Classic Sylphy looking handsome and grand. Interior Style: The Classic Sylphy's interior style complements its exterior perfectly, with an overall design that creates a strong family atmosphere. There are no exaggerated design elements; the layout is conventional, and the abundance of physical buttons fits the classic car's character well. However, the silver trim adds a touch of modernity and quality. The only distinctive feature is the cannon-style instrument cluster, which hints at a bit of personality without being flashy. Configuration: Apart from ABS and EBD, the Classic Sylphy comes standard with BA brake assist and front fog lights. Higher trim levels also feature a rear parking radar. There aren't many standout configurations, as everything is focused on practicality. Comfortable seats are a major advantage, with higher trims using leather seats to enhance both luxury and comfort. Additionally, mid-to-high trims are equipped with a power sunroof. Powertrain: The Sylphy lineup exclusively uses naturally aspirated engines. The 2018 Classic model is powered by the HR16 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power of 91kW (124PS) and a peak torque of 153N•m. The transmission system is paired with either a 5-speed manual or a CVT. Notably, the same displacement engine paired with a CVT offers lower fuel consumption, ensuring smooth performance while also delivering excellent fuel economy.
