Where are the drainage holes located on the new Sylphy?

The new Sylphy has drainage holes in the sunroof, fuel tank cap, under the doors, trunk lid, and engine compartment. There are many drainage holes on the car, with the most easily visible ones located under the doors. The new Sylphy is a family sedan under Dongfeng Nissan. In terms of exterior design, the new Sylphy closely follows contemporary trends. The redesigned front grille resembles the latest generation Teana more closely, and the enlarged grille gives the car a more imposing appearance. The waistline running from front to back enhances the dynamic look of the new model. While maintaining its smooth and rounded style, the exterior appears more rugged with softer lines, giving the overall design a more youthful appeal.
As a long-time Sylphy owner who frequently performs DIY car checks, I've learned there are several key points about the drainage hole locations. I remember once after rain, noticing a slight odor inside the car prompted me to consult the manual. The new Sylphy's drainage holes are mainly located at the bottom of doors, sunroof corners, and trunk edges. The tiny door drainage holes can be found by feeling along the lower door frame; the sunroof drainage holes sit in the gutter channels at all four corners of the roof glass - gently pry open the rubber seals to see them; while the trunk's drainage hole is near the spare tire well. When cleaning them myself, I use compressed air to blow out debris, preventing leaf clogs that could lead to carpet mold or metal corrosion - which can be particularly troublesome. I recommend quarterly inspections, especially before rainy seasons, to ensure unobstructed drainage.
I've been driving the new Sylphy for a while, and the drain hole locations are easy to find. The holes at the bottom of the doors are inside the door panels—just bend down slightly and look under the door frame to spot the small openings. The sunroof drain is along the edge of the roof, and after rain, water may leak down the A-pillar. There are also drain holes in the engine bay, positioned near the firewall. Once, I forgot to clean them, and water pooled inside the car, causing a terrible odor. I recommend paying extra attention when parking under trees regularly—use a vacuum or wet wipes to clear the openings and keep them dry. Otherwise, blockages could lead to short circuits in electronic components, resulting in costly repairs. A little maintenance can save you big money.
