2 Answers
The engine of the new Sylphy is the HR16, which is divided into 1.6 and 1.8-liter CVVT engines, and is a new high-performance inline four-cylinder engine. The fully aluminum alloy engine developed for the new Sylphy achieves a harmonious balance of driving performance, fuel economy, and environmental performance. The development goals of the HR16DE include reducing friction, improving thermal efficiency, and increasing power output through technical innovations in its components. The new Sylphy has a body length of 4641mm, width of 1815mm, height of 1450mm, and a wheelbase of 2712mm. It is equipped with features such as driver and front passenger airbags, front side airbags, 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, electronic stability control, lane change assist, lane departure warning, autonomous emergency braking, and fatigue driving reminder.
The new Sylphy's engine mainly comes in two versions: one is the conventional gasoline-powered HR16 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, and the other is the e-POWER hybrid system engine. I often work on this HR16 engine during repairs. It features continuous variable valve timing technology, delivering 126 horsepower and 154 Nm of torque. The power output is smooth, providing brisk acceleration in city driving without being overly aggressive. Engine noise is well-controlled, making the cabin quiet and comfortable, especially during long drives without causing fatigue. In terms of fuel consumption, it's quite economical, averaging around 7L/100km in urban areas and dropping below 6L/100km on highways. Maintenance is straightforward, requiring only regular oil and filter changes. The e-POWER version uses a 1.2L three-cylinder engine solely for generating electricity to power the electric motor, offering an EV-like driving experience without the need for charging. Its fuel consumption is even lower, at just 4.5L/100km in city driving. Overall, these engines are designed for reliability and durability, making them ideal for daily commuting. They rarely have major issues, but it's advisable to avoid frequent hard acceleration to prolong their lifespan. Positioned as economical and practical, these engines prioritize stability and peace of mind over high performance. Buyers can choose between the gasoline or hybrid version based on their needs and budget.
