Nissan officially revealed Sylphy Zero Emission sedan based on the second generation Leaf at the 2018 Beijing International Auto Show. This year we have seen so many manufacturers revealing lots of EV products exclusive for Chinese market as the EV market in the country is going to get bigger in coming years thanks to the government as they want to reduce pollution from regular combustion cars by replacing them with EVs to keep the country green.

Chinese market also demands more space especially for rear passengers, which is why Nissan designed Sylphy as a sedan. The Japanese manufacturer has made changes for the platform to increase space inside the cabin. Nissan hasn’t revealed specifications of Sylphy yet but the rear legroom will be class leading according to the manufacturer.
