Nissan Sylphy 2.0
Friday, May 30th, 2008 
Edaran Tan Chong Motor has unveiled initial details on the Nissan Sylphy that it will be launching soon on their website. The Nissan Sylphy will only feature one engine variant, which is the MR20DE engine. The 2.0 liter engine is a long stroke engine with variable valve timing producing 133 PS at 5,200rpm and 191Nm of torque at 4,400rpm. Power will go to the front wheels via an XTRONIC CVT transmission featuring gear ratios from 2.349 to 0.394.
The car’s suspension design uses an independent MacPherson strut setup with stabilizer at the front, and a torsion beam at the rear, presumably to improve boot space, which totals up to 504 liters. The car has ventilated disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear, with ABS, EBD and Brake Assist. The power steering system is of the electric type as opposed to a hydraulic system. Fuel tank size is 52 liters, and Nissan claims the car can travel 16km on 1 liter of fuel as tested under Japan’s 10-15 test mode.
