The 14th generation Sylphy of Dongfeng Nissan went on sale for 109,000-143,000 yuan.

　　The 14th generation Sylphy of Dongfeng Nissan was officially launched on July 16th, with a new car price of RMB 109,000-143,000. The new Sylphy adopted the latest V-motion 2.0 design language, equipped with Nissan Intelligent Mobility technology, and adopted the third generation HR16 naturally aspirated engine, all of which were backed by the technical support from CMF platform. It is understood that the old Sylphy will not be delisted, and it has been renamed Sylphy Classic, which was listed and sold together with the new Sylphy at the beginning of this month. Replacement customers enjoy 2000 yuan and 5-year super-long maintenance warranty service, and loan customers can enjoy a maximum of 3 years of zero interest policy.

　　The size of the iconic V-shaped net is further enlarged, and the whole front face is angular.

　　The new Sylphy adopts the latest family-style design language similar to the sounds of nature, and incorporates more sharp lines. Compared with the previous generation, the appearance of sports is much younger and more sporty.　　

　　On the side of the car body, the segmented waistline design is unique, equipped with a brand-new style of double five-spoke wheels, and the slight increase in the length and width of the car body and the slight decrease in the height make the car more agile.　　

　　The tail of the new car has a simple shape, and the taillights have a strong sense of detail design, exquisite and delicate.　

　　In terms of interior design, the new generation of Sylphy has also been fully upgraded. The floating central control panel integrates most functions and simplifies physical buttons. The flat center console with two-color accessories continues the home style. The new generation of Sylphy comes standard with an 8-inch floating LCD touch screen, plus the latest Zhilian man-machine system, which is more convenient for interconnection and multimedia control.　　

　　In terms of seating space, the rear legroom and storage space have always been Sylphy’s signature, while in terms of seat comfort, the new generation Sylphy not only continues the title of "mobile sofa", but also optimizes and upgrades it.

　　In terms of safety, the new generation of Sylphy is also equipped with seven NISSAN i-SAFETY safety systems and three dozen driving assistance technologies, among which IFCW over-the-horizon collision warning, EAPM accelerator incorrect stepping correction, CTA reversing vehicle side warning and IDA fatigue intelligent warning system are very thoughtful.

　　In terms of chassis, the new generation of Sylphy is still equipped with the non-independent suspension system of the front McPherson type and the rear torsion beam, but its front suspension U-shaped half-frame structure is changed to a full-frame subframe, and the rear suspension rigidity is also strengthened, which makes the new generation of Sylphy better in handling and chassis performance than the old models. In addition, the performance of NVH of the whole vehicle has also improved compared with the old model.

　　In terms of power system, the 14th generation Sylphy is equipped with the optimized 3rd generation HR16 naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 102kW(139Ps) and a peak torque of 169Nm, which meets the national VI emission standard. The matching is still XTRONIC CVT continuously variable transmission, and smoothness and fuel economy are also the biggest highlights of this powertrain. At the same time, it meets the national six emission standards, and the official claims that the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 4.9L

　　Looking back, in 2018, the old Sylphy created the myth that sales exceeded 470,000 units. In April this year, the cumulative sales of Sylphy in China has exceeded 3 million units, and Nissan Sylphy is currently in the same sales state, and the price covering the market of 100,000-150,000 is more reasonable. With the upcoming launch of a new generation of Sylphy, the current Sylphy has also made a profit of about 30,000 yuan in the terminal market of the previous array, which directly led to the return of Sylphy (gasoline version) to the top position in the sales of compact cars in June.

　　I have to admit that LaVida, which has been in a stalemate with Sylphy for several months, failed to keep the top spot. Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy sold a total of 35,700 vehicles (excluding pure electric versions) in June this year, and the cumulative sales from January to June reached 209,600 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 4.6%. It can be said that LaVida’s threat to Sylphy has gradually decreased, and Corolla and New Bora, which are closely followed, may once again open up their product advantages by this heavily listed brand-new Sylphy Club, at least from the aspects of seating space, comfort and fuel economy, which will impact competing products.

　　Of course, LaVida and Bora still have outstanding performance points. Sylphy power is relatively single, and there are not many obvious advantages in terms of acceleration time of 100 kilometers. Looking back at the top five compact cars in June, North and South Volkswagen accounted for three seats. Corolla’s dual-engine strategy and the addition of 1.2T small-displacement turbocharged power have greatly enriched the product line, but Sylphy, which is the first to win, has met the national six emission standards, and Volkswagen has also changed its models one after another, at least for now.

　　To sum up, considering the later maintenance cost and model year version, the launch of Sylphy is bound to change the existing market segment structure. It is bold to guess that after the new car preferential margin is loosened in the fourth quarter, the 19-year compact family car market is unlikely to have an accident, and the rest depends on the price response measures and product iterative update plans made by other brands.
