What are the differences between the old and new versions of the Sylphy?
2 Answers
1、Different exterior designs: The new Sylphy has a more dynamic appearance compared to the classic Sylphy, which is more understated. The new model incorporates more fashionable elements, including front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and a rear spoiler. The classic Sylphy comes with 195/60-R16 tires, while the new Sylphy features 215/50-R17 tires. 2、Different interior designs: The interior of the new Sylphy has been significantly upgraded. It now includes cruise control and a new fully automatic climate control system. The dashboard background color has been changed from white to black. The new model also features wood grain and genuine leather decorations. The new Sylphy comes with a center-mounted steering wheel wrapped in light-colored genuine leather, a hands-free Bluetooth system, audio control buttons, and an ASCD cruise control system.
I've been driving the Sylphy for over a decade, from the old version to the new one, and I can spot the differences at a glance. The old Sylphy had a more rounded exterior, with rather ordinary halogen headlights and softer body lines, giving it a low-key, practical vibe. The new version is completely different—the headlights are now LED, more angular, and the overall design leans towards a sportier look, with even the taillights designed to be sharper. I remember the old version was slightly lower in height, and the new one seems to sit a bit lower, making it feel more stable to drive. The interior is also a world apart: the old version had fabric seats that were quite firm, while the new one comes with leather or faux leather seats that are much more comfortable. Plus, the key has evolved from the old mechanical type to a new smart remote that unlocks automatically as you approach. These changes make driving more convenient and stylish, but I still have a soft spot for the classic feel of the old version—I often chat about these differences in car enthusiast groups.
