Where is the Nissan Sylphy engine produced?
2 Answers
The Nissan Sylphy is equipped with the HR16 engine, which is manufactured by Nissan. The engine serial number of the Nissan Sylphy is typically located on a relatively flat surface of the engine block, composed of numbers and letters. The 2019 National VI version of the Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L inline 4-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, paired with either a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 93 kW, maximum horsepower of 126 PS, and maximum torque of 168 Nm. The fuel supply system is entirely multi-point electronic fuel injection. The Sylphy's body dimensions are 4631mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1503mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2700mm.
I've worked on many Sylphy cars and know that the engines are mostly produced domestically, like those made at Dongfeng Nissan's factory in Huadu, Guangzhou. Local production has significantly reduced engine costs, and parts are easier to find. The quality isn't much different from imported ones. In fact, some early models might have been imported from Japan, but now they're all localized, mostly using the HR series. This makes maintenance easier, and with ample parts stocked in my shop, it saves time and money for owners when repairs are needed. I think localized production has many benefits, especially for improving repair efficiency for common issues. The Sylphy has a large ownership base, and the parts inventory is comprehensive. However, it's still best for car owners to maintain their engines regularly.
