Chevrolet Sail U-VA now available in new base diesel variant
Posted on 
In a bid to improve the sales figure of its recently launched hatchback, Sail U-VA, Chevrolet has added a new base diesel version priced at Rs. 5.29 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi)
General Motors have added a new base version to the portfolio of its Chevrolet Sail U-VA diesel. Prior to this, the hatchback was available in only three variants in its diesel line-up compared to four in the petrol one. Chevrolet have priced the base diesel version at Rs. 5.29 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) and have also updated its official website with this new addition. Officials at GM have not revealed any details about the base diesel but we expect it to have the same features as on the base petrol Sail U-VA.
Like the base petrol variant, the diesel variant likely has bare basic interior features like manually operated air-conditioner, fabric seats, tilt adjustable steering wheel, remote boot opener, front power windows and electrically adjustable OVRMs. The exterior will have steel wheels instead of alloys and body coloured bumpers. Powering the base Sail U-VA will be a 1.3-litre diesel mill pumping out 79PS of power and a torque figure of 205Nm. A five-speed manual transmission is employed to transmit power.
According to Chevrolet the base Sail U-VA will have an efficiency figure of 22kmpl (ARAI-certified). Sales of the hatchback have fallen consistently (especially the diesel variants) since its launch and this seems to be an effort by Chevrolet to arrest it. Given that the Sail U-VA is more spacious and Rs 30,000 cheaper than the Maruti Swift besides employing the same engine unit as on the Maruti, the new variant is being looked upon as a fortune changer for the American car maker.

In Mumbai Chevrolet owners are suffering because of dubious service centers who falsify their service records and do nothing. I am a Cruze owner and I know what I am talking about.

Firstly its not a American car its a Chinese product. Chevrolet product is sonic far better than swift.They just used their Chinese partner in their bad times for investment.Days are not far when u will hear their separation and after that lot of new cars will land in India.Its business strategy.

Till GM do not improve after sales service network, its fortunes can never change in India, especially if they think they can be somewhere near to Maruti Suzuki
