The Sylphy is a sedan, while the Tiida is a hatchback, with the Sylphy having larger body dimensions. Below are the details about the Sylphy and Tiida: 1. The Tiida features a hatchback body structure, with dimensions of 4393*1766*1524mm (L*W*H) and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The Sylphy, on the other hand, has a sedan body structure, measuring 4641*1815*1450mm (L*W*H) with a wheelbase of 2712mm. 2. The Tiida's interior design is simple, with a clearly divided functional area on the dashboard, making it very user-friendly. The Sylphy's interior design exudes a homely style, showing significant improvement in interior design, and the rear space performance is one of this car's biggest advantages.
Having driven for over ten years, I'm particularly sensitive to interior space. As a hatchback, the Tiida may look compact, but its higher roofline ensures no headroom issues in the rear seats. Last time I took two 1.8-meter-tall friends on a long trip, they both commented on the comfortable headspace. However, the Sylphy's sedan structure offers better legroom, with rear passengers gaining two to three fingers' extra knee clearance from the front seats, allowing leg stretching during highway drives. The Sylphy clearly wins in trunk space – during my last move helping relatives, it accommodated four suitcases with room to spare, whereas the Tiida could barely fit three at maximum. For regular five-passenger use, the Sylphy is more suitable; but if you frequently transport tall passengers in the rear, the Tiida actually provides a more spacious feel.
Last month, I accompanied a friend to compare these two models. The Sylphy has a wheelbase of 2712mm, slightly longer than the Tiida's 2700mm. In the back seat, the Sylphy offers about a fist's width more legroom. However, the Tiida stands taller at 1539mm compared to the Sylphy's 1450mm, allowing my 185cm-tall friend to sit without his hair touching the roof. The biggest difference lies in cargo space: the Sylphy's 560L trunk is nearly 30% larger than the Tiida's 435L, easily accommodating camping tents and folding chairs. But the Tiida's rear seats fold completely flat - I once transported an entire IKEA table inside. Overall, choose the Sylphy for family trips, while the Tiida offers more flexibility for bulky items.
