Nissan plans to launch its Sylphy saloon in India in 2014. The spacious Sylphy will be powered by a 1.8-litre petrol engine and the 1.5-litre K9K diesel engine of Renault Fluence which delivers 108bhp of peak power. The 1.8-litre petrol engine is coupled with a six-speed manual and CVT gearbox. Nissan will be positioning the Sylphy in between Aunny and Teana. Expected at a price tag of Rs.12 to 16 lakhs, the Nissan Sylphy will toughly compete with VW Jetta, Toyota Corolla and Renault Fluence.
