What are the length, width, and height dimensions of the Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
The Nissan Sylphy's body dimensions (length × width × height) are 4641mm × 1815mm × 1447mm, as per official specifications. The length measurement represents the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane, touching the foremost and rearmost protruding points. Width refers to the distance between parallel planes on either side of the vehicle touching the outermost rigid fixed projections. Height indicates the distance between the vehicle's highest point and its support plane. The Nissan Sylphy is powered by a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine delivering 139 horsepower (102kW maximum power) and 169Nm torque, paired with either a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission, achieving a fuel consumption of 5.6L/100km. Chinese automotive dimension regulations, as stipulated in national standard GB1589-89, specify that vehicle width excludes side mirrors. Width limitations ensure adequate lateral clearance for safe overtaking between adjacent lanes. The standard mandates that total vehicle width must not exceed 2.5m to accommodate public road infrastructure requirements, preventing situations where road markings might be narrower than vehicle width or creating overtaking hazards.
I often drive the Sylphy to pick up and drop off my kids at school, so I'm very familiar with its dimensions. The car is 4652 mm long, which is a little over 4.6 meters, 1815 mm wide, close to 1.8 meters, and 1450 mm high, or 1.45 meters. The size is cleverly designed: the length ensures ample space in both the front and rear rows, so a family of five can sit comfortably without feeling cramped; the width is sufficient but not too wide, making it easy to reverse into parking spaces at shopping malls; the height is just right, so kids won't hit their heads getting in and out, and elderly passengers won't have to bend over too much. The trunk can easily fit three suitcases, making it super practical and convenient for everyday family use.
