Analysis of the Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy Classic MT Transmission

The main difference between the 16AT, MT, and CVT transmissions of the Nissan Sylphy lies in their shifting process.

Shifting feel is an important indicator that describes how smooth the gear changes are. Some models provide a very smooth shifting experience, almost giving a pleasant sensation similar to inhaling; while others may show noticeable resistance during shifting, requiring a push or pull to complete the process, and sometimes needing multiple attempts to shift successfully, which largely depends on the quality of the transmission synchronizers.

When choosing a car, although domestic brands demonstrate excellent cost-performance ratios, joint venture brands still hold a significant market presence due to their early establishment, with the Nissan Sylphy being a long-time favorite due to its consistently strong sales over the years.

This compact car undoubtedly has competitive advantages in many areas, allowing it to maintain its position in the market for many years and gain the affection of consumers.

The 2018 Sylphy Classic version has been on the market for several months now, and its design still adheres to the classic retro style. The front air intake is relatively small, and the design has not changed for many years.

The grille is decorated with four chrome strips, while the lower air intake is comparatively larger. The headlights are quite large and feature a unique shape, but the overall vehicle design appears somewhat conservative, lacking innovation and even falling short of the fashionable appeal of many domestic brands.

In terms of power, this model is equipped with the HR16 engine, which shows a significant improvement in power performance compared to the older version, with better specifications.

The power upgrade of the new car makes it more attractive, and its high cost-performance ratio is the key factor that enables Sylphy to maintain its market competitiveness for so long.
