2 Answers
The differences between the Sylphy and Lavida are: 1. Different body dimensions: The Sylphy has a length, width, and height of 4641mm, 1815mm, and 1450mm respectively; the Lavida measures 4670mm, 1806mm, and 1474mm. 2. Different engines: The Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 99kw; the Lavida comes with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivering a maximum power of 83kw. 3. Different appearances: The Sylphy features a V-shaped front grille, chrome trim wrapping with a black air intake grille, boomerang-style LED headlights, and a distinctive fog light area design; the Lavida has a more overall elegant appearance, with the front air intake grille seamlessly connected to the headlight cluster for a strong sense of unity, and the bottom air intake adopts a through-type design connected to the fog lights, enhancing the horizontal visual effect of the front end.
I've driven both the Nissan Sylphy and the Volkswagen Lavida. Overall, the Sylphy leans more towards comfort and family use, with typical Japanese car characteristics like soft seats, spacious interiors, and low fuel consumption. It's super worry-free for city commuting, and the back seat can comfortably accommodate three people without feeling cramped. The Lavida, being a German Volkswagen model, has a sturdier chassis, with more stable steering at high speeds and a stronger sense of control, though its initial acceleration is slightly weaker, and its fuel consumption is a bit higher than the Sylphy's. In terms of design, the Sylphy is sleek and fluid, which might appeal more to younger drivers, while the Lavida has a more squared and conventional look, appearing more稳重. Price-wise, the entry-level Sylphy is cheaper, though it holds its value slightly less well, but maintenance is simpler and more cost-effective. If you have elderly or children in the family, the Sylphy is more suitable; if you're after driving pleasure or frequently drive long distances, the Lavida is better.
