What is the fuel consumption of the Nissan Sylphy 1.6 manual transmission?
3 Answers
Manual transmission models have a fuel consumption of 5.7 liters per 100 kilometers, while automatic transmission models consume 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is an introduction to related content: Body dimensions: The Nissan Sylphy has a body weight of 1230kg. Taking the 2021 Nissan Sylphy CVT Comfort Edition as an example, it belongs to the compact car category with body dimensions of: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. Configuration: The 2021 Nissan Sylphy features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122PS, a maximum torque of 155Nm, and a maximum power of 90kW. It is paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
I've been driving a Nissan Sylphy 1.6L manual transmission model for several years, mainly for daily urban commuting. The fuel gauge shows an average fuel consumption of around 7L/100km, which can rise to 8L in heavy traffic, but drops easily to 5.5L on highways. The advantage of a manual transmission is being able to control the gear-shifting timing, such as upshifting at 1,500 rpm and avoiding heavy throttle to save fuel. I remember the fuel consumption was slightly higher when the car was new, but stabilized after the 5,000 km break-in period. Regular maintenance is crucial—changing engine oil and air filters can improve engine efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. Cold starts in winter slightly increase fuel usage, but summer AC usage has minimal impact. Overall, I find this car quite fuel-efficient, with monthly fuel costs of just 300-500 RMB, significantly cheaper than my friends' automatic transmission cars. On long road trips, a full tank can easily cover 600 km, making car ownership much more affordable.
As an average driver, the Nissan Sylphy 1.6L manual typically achieves a combined fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km, varying based on road conditions and driving habits. City driving with frequent stops can increase it to 7-8L, while highway cruising reduces it to 5-6L. Technical factors play a major role—maintaining engine RPM between 1,500-2,000 is most economical, avoiding redline revving. Tire pressure should be checked monthly as underinflation increases rolling resistance. The cooling system also affects engine efficiency—scale buildup reduces performance. Gradual acceleration from starts and using engine braking can easily save 1L long-term. Regular maintenance like injector cleaning optimizes fuel efficiency by 10%; beginners may overlook these details, leading to initially higher figures. Real-world data shows most owners average around 6.8L/100km—reliable and economical.
