In order to set abuzz a celebration like atmosphere, Japanese car maker Nissan has launched the new Nissan Sylphy in Thailand. This sedan class car has found Thailand as its second market after world’s biggest market China. The Nissan Sylphy is also highly expected in India and it is believed that it will be priced around Rs 15 lakh and its launch in India could be expected around early 2014 at the New Delhi Auto Expo. As Nissan has made it a global car, it will soon be launched in more countries and by the end of 2014 it will be launched in over 120 countries. Nissan expects to sell over 5.5 lakh units per year by 2014. The Nissan Sylphy price starts at 746,000 baht or Rs 13.23 lakh in Indian currency.

Back in India, the car maker is preparing for the launch of its MPV Nissan Evalia as well as the Datsun cars are in the pipeline. The new Sylphy has high prospects in the country and it will have a close fight with the Toyota Corolla Altis, Hyundai Elantra, Honda Civic and the American car Chevrolet Cruze that has recently been launched with a new Z Series engine. The New Sylphy will also be competing with the Ford Focus sedan that is also expected to be launched around the same time.

The Sylphy is basically the C Segment genie and this new car has taken some changes well. The length is a little shorter but it has grown fatter with an extra 60 mm to the width. However, it has kept the wheel base intact. Despite the slight decrease in length, the leg space inside is intact and people will be cherishing the same roomy Sylphy inside. On the outside, there is serious makeover of the headlamps, grille and the front appearance. The LED strip now could be seen under the headlamps as daytime running lights, as side indicators on the wings and on the tail lamps. Apart from this there are a lot of changes on the inside and under the hood as well making this Nissan car all the more pleasing and worth a buy for the people looking for an entry level premium car.
