What is the load capacity of the Nissan Sylphy trunk?
3 Answers
The load capacity of the Nissan Sylphy trunk is 500 jin (approximately 250 kg), but it is best not to exceed this limit. Exceeding 500 jin may affect the shock absorbers, making them prone to damage. Sylphy trunk dimensions: The Sylphy trunk has a depth of 985mm, a width of 980mm, a maximum width of 1610mm, a height of 610mm, and a volume of 510L. The new Sylphy trunk space is relatively flat, and its height is advantageous among vehicles in the same class. Vehicle load calculation: The vehicle load description does not specify the trunk's load capacity. The total vehicle load (including passengers and trunk) is approximately 420KG. For specific details, you can check the vehicle's driving license copy, where the total mass minus the curb weight equals the load capacity. Alternatively, refer to the technical specifications at the end of the vehicle's user manual: the technical maximum load mass minus the maximum curb weight equals the load capacity.
I've been driving a Nissan Sylphy for several years and need to be cautious about trunk loading. The Sylphy's trunk is quite spacious, around 560 liters, but its maximum load capacity is generally between 150 to 200 kg. There's no official specific number, but I learned from the manual that the total vehicle load capacity is about 400 kg. After deducting passenger weight, don't overload the trunk. Stuffing too many items like luggage or cargo beyond 200 kg can damage the suspension system or cause body deformation, leading to expensive and troublesome repairs. I usually keep it under 150 kg in daily use - for example, loading two large suitcases plus groceries is perfectly stable. I recommend paying attention to evenly distributing heavy items to avoid uneven weight that might damage the rear. Safety first - don't overload your beloved car just for convenience.
The trunk design of the Nissan Sylphy is quite durable, and I personally think a load of around 200 kilograms is reasonable. I often study car structures, and the Sylphy's suspension and chassis can handle a total weight capacity of approximately 450 kilograms. If the trunk exceeds 250 kilograms, it can easily lead to deformation or increased noise. In practice, avoid stacking items too high—make multiple trips or use soft padding to protect the interior. I've also tried long-distance road trips with several large items, and the car remained stable within 170 kilograms, but beyond that, the handling noticeably worsened. When loading, consider the car's condition, and don’t overlook the risk of tire wear. Regularly checking the trunk latches for stability adds peace of mind.
