Sylphy is derived from the English word “sylph”. It represents the spirit of the wind, which together with earth, wind and fire make up Earth’s natural elements.
The creamy leather interior and wood panelling was classy and a sight for sore eyes. There’s ample space and more than sufficient legroom inside for front AND rear passengers.
The steering wheel is also made of leather and comes with an anti-microbacteria coating. The trunk could stuff in a couple of bags. And Nissan promises golfers could pack in four sets of nine-inch (40cm) wide golf bags.
It is priced (on the road with insurance) at RM112,800. A luxury package which includes leather seats, a 6CD changer with MP3 support and full V-Kool tinting is available at RM116,800.
