Nissan Sylphy Malaysia — Model History & Guide
Malaysia sold the Nissan Sylphy B17 from 2013 to 2019. The MRA8DE 1.8L CVT is the sole powertrain offered. Key changes over the production run: 2016 facelift updated exterior styling and interior, added safety features on higher trims. The Sylphy positions between the Almera (1.0T/1.5L) and larger sedans — it offers the most comfortable ride in the Nissan sedan lineup but is less fuel-efficient than the smaller Almera N18.
