Nissan Sylphy G10/N16 1. generace

Přehled

The Nissan Sylphy ( Japanese : 日産・シルフィ, Hepburn : Nissan Shirufi ) is a compact car produced by the Japanese car maker Nissan since 2000 as the successor to the Nissan Pulsar . The Sylphy has also been marketed in export markets under several other nameplates, including Pulsar , Almera , Sunny and Sentra . For the third-generation model (B17) introduced in 2012, the Sylphy model was merged with the B17 Sentra , meaning it is no longer a standalone model.

Until 2012, it is known as the Nissan Bluebird Sylphy ( Japanese : 日産・ブルーバードシルフィ, Hepburn : Nissan Burūbādo Shirufi ) in Japan. The initial Bluebird Sylphy nameplate was a continuation for the larger Bluebird which was phased out in 2001. It was renamed the Sylphy for the third-generation model in 2012.

Nissan launched the G10 or N16 series Bluebird Sylphy in August 2000 as replacement in the Japanese market for the Nissan Pulsar (N15), and it was exclusive to Japanese dealerships called Nissan Blue Stage . The model code of "G10" used in Japan differed from most other markets which retained the legacy N-series (N16) naming scheme inherited from the Pulsar. The change in name from Pulsar to Bluebird Sylphy in Japan came about as Nissan was about to phase out the long-running Bluebird , and this kept the old name alive. Export markets received this same vehicle under a myriad of alternative names: Almera in Europe and Brunei; Pulsar in Australasia; Sentra in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan; plus Sunny in Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka and the Middle East. In Sri Lanka, it is important to highlight that the EX saloon of the Nissan Sunny N16 came with a black grille with horizontal bars. It was not available in North America; instead, there was the Sunny-based Nissan Sentra (B15) .

The Bluebird Sylphy was made available in a single body style, a well equipped small four-door sedan . The factory in the UK, where the N16 was manufactured as the Almera, continued to produce three- and five-door hatchback versions. These European models featured slightly different frontal styling—a unique grille, bonnet and bumper accommodated the headlamp design shared with Japanese models. Some European markets also received an Almera sedan model, which featured the same frontal styling as the hatchbacks. British-made Almeras also saw some exports outside of Europe, mainly to Australia and with Pulsar badging.
