Chevrolet Sail Sedan : First Drive
Posted on 
The recently launched Chevrolet Sail UVA has just grown a boot. ZigWheels takes it for a quick spin
Sails over bad roads
We loved the Sail UVA’s ride quality and sedan is no different. Both the petrol and the heavier diesel have just the right suspension set up for our roads. The roads we drove on were pothole ridden over quite a distance, and both the cars performed flawlessly. None of the thuds are filtered into the cabin with the car smothering them all with reassuring confidence. The steering too feels nice and meaty without feeling too light. There is roll when going hard around corners but nothing to get worried about. The 175/70 R14 Apollo Acceleres do a great job with a fine balance of grip and ride quality. One can safely say that the Sail boasts one of the best ride quality amongst sedans.
Price it right!
The Sail sedan is all set to go up against the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Toyota Etios and the likes which are already very well established products in the market. The Sail sedan has got the goods with its good looks, space and practicality but there are a few chinks in its armor too. The interiors lack enthusiasm and the sedan is simply just too similar to the hatch with almost everything carried over. And the only way that these negatives can be overlooked is if GM gets the pricing right. Under cutting the Swift Dzires price by a significant margin will be the key and if GM manages to do it, the cash registers will definitely start ringing!

going to book chevrolet sail sedan today the petrol ABS one .. (goa) here on road is 6.20 lakh for tat car .. and our petrol rates are 55.75 rupees per litre compared to 50 rupees for diesel.. the delership here is quite friendly ...and have opted for LED OSRVM and fog lights and reverese sensors for accesories.. i must say they did do some cost cutting by doing what they did in the interiors but guys even the company have to make profit ryte ?? even for tat price tag with air bags and all those stuff in it ... and the big spacious compartments .. im satisfied although did have the option of swift desire but i opted out as i wanted to look my car unique rather than to be one of thousands of desires running on the road ryte now.. even the milage is great for 18.2 KM/L petrol :-)

Called the showroom and the car for test drive was at my office within an hours time. It was the diesel base model. Excellent ride quality. And roads are not great in this 3 tier city still i could not feel any bumps. We went to a highway and i was pleasently surprised and impressed. Great value for money. 10 days delivery time they said. I am actually thinking of buying the petrol high end. My driving is just 8 kms a day. i think i dont need diesel.
