Where is the air conditioning drain outlet located on the Sylphy?

The air conditioning drain outlet on the Sylphy is located under the front passenger seat. It also includes sunroof drain holes, fuel filler cap drain holes, trunk lid drain holes, and engine compartment drain holes. Taking the 2021 Sylphy as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4631mm, width 1760mm, height 1503mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 50L, and curb weight 1188kg. The 2021 Sylphy features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine producing maximum power of 122PS, maximum torque of 155Nm, and maximum power output of 90kW, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
In my experience with the Nissan Sylphy, the air conditioning drain outlet is usually located under the car, towards the center but slightly on the passenger side, roughly beneath the front seats. Last time I had a minor leak inside the car, I crouched down to check and found it to be a small plastic tube protruding slightly. It tends to accumulate dust and clog, so I clean it quarterly using a hair dryer or a small brush to blow it clear, preventing water from backing up and soaking the car mats, which could damage the interior. The location is similar across most model years of the Sylphy, generally near the firewall of the chassis. If you can't find it, I recommend lying on the ground or using an interior mirror to get a better look. Also, after using the air conditioning, pay attention to whether there are water droplets on the ground when you park, as this is a good way to confirm it's working properly and saves a lot of hassle.
