The Nissan Sylphy Zero Emission is now available for customers in China to order through Nissan’s joint venture subsidiary, Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle company (Dongfeng Nissan).
Sylphy Zero Emission, which debuted at Auto China 2018, is Nissan’s first mass-production electric vehicle designed and produced for China. The car is built on the same platform as the Nissan LEAF, one of the best-selling electric cars in the world. Power comes from the same lithium-ion battery used in the Leaf, with an electric motor driving the front wheels. Nissan claims that the Sylphy can eke out 210 miles (337.96km) on each charge, according to Chinese official tests. The Leaf is good for 235 miles(378.19km) on Europe's old NEDC test.
The Sylphy's design has clear links to the Leaf's, with a similar V-shaped front section. However, it has a liftback rather than a regular hatchback.
Nissan asserts that Sylphy Zero Emission inherits LEAF’s core technologies while offering the stability and reliability of a full-size wheelbase. Sylphy Zero Emission also offers intelligent mobility technologies, including a connectivity feature that allows the vehicle’s audio and video to be remote-controlled and managed from a mobile phone.
