2 Answers
The 2020 Sylphy was officially launched on July 16, 2019. This new model is a generational update, i.e., the 14th-generation Sylphy. The vehicle adopts the Vmotion-2.0 concept car design language similar to the all-new Altima and is equipped with Nissan Intelligent Mobility technology. Additional information is as follows: 1. Exterior: The 14th-generation Sylphy features the latest family design language (Nissan's Vmotion-2.0 flat design language), giving it a more sporty appearance. The iconic V-motion grille is further enlarged, paired with sharp headlight clusters on both sides, creating a distinctly angular front fascia that breaks away from its traditionally conservative image. 2. Side Profile: The segmented waistline design is quite distinctive, complemented by a new-style 17-inch double five-spoke wheel design, enhancing the overall sporty feel. In terms of dimensions, the rear features a strongly designed taillight cluster. For configurations, the new Sylphy offers optional features such as a sunroof, different headlight cluster styles, front fog lights, and wheel designs. 3. Interior: The 14th-generation Sylphy adopts the latest family-style interior design, maintaining a comfortable and homey ambiance. The floating touchscreen integrates most functional operations, reducing the number of physical buttons inside the cabin. 4. Powertrain: The 14th-generation Sylphy continues to be powered by a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum power output of 126 horsepower (93 kW) and a top speed of 190 km/h. It is paired with a CVT transmission and complies with the China VI emission standards.
The 14th-generation Sylphy was launched in 2019, to be more precise, it officially went on sale on July 16th. At that time, automotive media outlets were all posting review videos online, with its new exterior being particularly eye-catching, featuring a V-shaped grille paired with a floating roof design, resembling the older Teana models. In car enthusiast groups, I saw many people praising how the outdated foot brake was finally replaced with an electronic parking brake, and the 8-inch touchscreen with circular air vents in the interior looked more premium. I remember the manufacturer heavily promoted the active safety features during the launch, claiming that ESP and tire pressure monitoring were standard across all trims. As for the price, it started at 119,000 yuan, a few thousand more than the previous generation but with upgraded configurations. During that period, dealerships were packed every day, and test drives required booking half a month in advance. This generation of Sylphy is still very common on the roads today, proving the model refresh was indeed quite successful.
