Chevrolet India has teased the impending arrival of its new Sail sedan into the Indian market, with a side profile shot of the vehicle on its website. The newcomer will join the Sail UV-A hatchback – launched in the country last November – in the model lineup.
Like the hatchback, the sedan will be available in two engine variant forms – there’s a 1.3 litre SDE Smartech commonrail four-cylinder diesel offering 78 PS at 4,000 rpm and 205 Nm at 1,750 rpm, paired to a five-speed F 17 manual gearbox, as well as a 1.2 litre Smartech petrol unit with 86 PS at 6,000 rpm and 113 Nm at 5,000 rpm.
The Sail’s interior will feature a Corvette-inspired dual-cockpit and a ‘Horizon View’ dashboard, as well as the promise of excellent leg room. Like the hatch, the sedan will get a Fun-Wide entertainment system, with Bluetooth functionality that supports five phone pairings and audio streaming.
The company says the Sail’s suspension, featuring gas-filled front and rear shock absorbers, has been finely tuned for Indian road conditions. Safety kit is made up of ABS and electronic brake force distribution (EBD), airbags (which probably means two) and pre-tensioner seatbelts.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
why not google it and call this Chevrolet Gen2 Behind.
Looks like our Proton Saga lah… :P
Which cars else have the suspensions tuned/designed for Malaysian “kronis'” roads? Proton ya, the National cars?
India always get the low-powered cars. hahaha… probably due to the traffic congestion, they don’t need a high powered ones.
“there’s a 1.3 litre SDE Smartech commonrail four-cylinder diesel offering 78 PS at 4,000 rpm and 205 Nm at 1,750 rpm,” wow … torque at 205 Nm at 1750 rpm for 1.3 litre engine… must be fast from standstill…
Unfortunately, it takes 14 to 15 secs, sigh
‘The definition of style…..coming soon
So it’s not this car then’
But I don’t know why I’am not buying that 205Nm thing
It is normal for a diesel.
Oh it’s a Diesel, damn it I missed that part.
Going to dislike my own post to satisfy myself….Thanks Paul
an elongated proton saga!
better looking than preve though
better than preve? r u serious? or simply retarded?
Chevy Fail xD
is it me or the car companies seem to like to produce some strange looking sedans for indian market all the time? i think it’s more and more becoming a norm this day to the extent that i could have guessed which country those sedans are gonna be marketed in, before even looking at the article or title….
macam viossss je…
Look at how Chevy Sonic price here more expensive than Preve…so fat hope lah this Sail can get cheaper price
looks like proton blm.
i noticed that the Indians seem to have better compact vehicles compared to Malaysia. So many VW Polos on the road amongst other jap and Korean makes that put cars of the same class that is available here to shame. over here, not every middle income earner can even afford a Polo. Most likely have to settle for a Myvi. With Indian companies going in aggressively with acquiring auto makers, there can only be better cars available there over time, unlike here. we have lost to even Thailand. They seem to be getting the better stuff.
When i was in india we went to kerala and most of the cars were from cheverolet,VW,Dacia renualt ,nissan and tata so can imagine how large their A segment market is
