The difference between the 122 horsepower and 135 horsepower versions of the Sylphy lies solely in the tuning. The 122 horsepower is the engine output of the classic Sylphy, while the 135 horsepower is the engine output of the new Sylphy. In reality, both models share the same engine type, with only tuning differences. The standard configuration of the top-tier Sylphy model includes the following: 1. Safety features: Front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, front and rear head airbags, seatbelt reminder, rear child seat anchors, tire pressure monitoring, ABS anti-lock braking, brake force distribution, brake assist, traction control, vehicle stability control, lane change assist, lane departure warning system, automatic emergency braking, and fatigue driving alert. 2. Assist features: Front and rear parking sensors, rearview camera, rear cross-traffic alert, driving mode selection, engine start-stop technology, hill start assist, power sunroof, engine immobilizer, keyless start system, keyless entry, active grille shutters, etc.

As a Sylphy owner, I've test-driven both the 122hp and 135hp versions. The 122hp naturally aspirated engine offers smoother starts and low-speed driving, making it ideal for congested city roads. The 135hp version usually comes with turbocharging, delivering sharper acceleration and noticeably more power when overtaking on highways. Last week during a long-distance trip, the 135hp version handled uphill sections with much greater ease, providing more responsive power delivery. However, the 122hp version is perfectly adequate for stop-and-go city driving between traffic lights. The horsepower difference mainly affects driving pleasure: the 135hp offers more excitement while the 122hp feels more composed. In terms of fuel consumption, the 135hp might be slightly more economical under normal driving conditions, but its fuel efficiency drops faster during aggressive driving. Overall, highway commuters would prefer the 135hp, while the 122hp suffices for pure city driving. The 135hp version is somewhat more expensive, but it's a worthwhile upgrade if budget permits.
