Chevrolet Sail U-VA LS (Diesel) Updates

Sunday, 19 May 2013 11:31 PM General Motors India has stopped selling the diesel variants of the Chevrolet Sail U-VA due to suspected problems with the engine. This move has raised concerns among existing and potential buyers about the reliability of the diesel engine. I think this is a significant setback for Chevrolet, especially given the popularity of diesel cars in India.

Saturday, 30 March 2013 09:38 AM The Chevrolet Sail U-VA LS (Diesel) features a 1.3L Smartech turbocharged DOHC diesel engine, which is a GM version of the Fiat 1248 cc MultiJet motor. This engine delivers 78 PS at 4,000 rpm and 205 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm, making it a strong contender in the diesel hatchback segment. The engines smooth performance and good fuel efficiency are notable highlights.

Friday, 02 November 2012 08:58 PM Chevrolet India launched the Sail U-VA on November 2, 2012, marking a significant entry into the upper B segment of the Indian car market. The Sail U-VA LS (Diesel) is priced competitively, aiming to challenge the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Swift and Hyundai i20. I believe the pricing strategy could be a game-changer if the car lives up to its performance promises.

Wednesday, 17 October 2012 05:24 PM The Chevrolet Sail U-VA LS (Diesel) boasts several modern features, including Chevrolets signature dual port chrome grille and Hawk Wing styled headlamps. The car also offers twenty-five storage spaces and Flex Flat and 60:40 Folding Rear Row seats, making it one of the most spacious cars in its segment.

Saturday, 15 September 2012 09:18 AM The Sail U-VA LS (Diesel) has a claimed mileage of 22.1 km/L, which is impressive for a diesel hatchback. This, combined with its robust engine, makes it an attractive option for those looking for a fuel-efficient vehicle. I think the mileage is a strong selling point, especially in a market where fuel efficiency is a top priority.

Thursday, 05 January 2012 08:42 AM Chevrolet showcased the Sail U-VA for the first time at the New Delhi Auto Expo 2012. The car was well-received for its modern design and feature-rich interior. The localization efforts by GMs Technical Center in Bangalore were also highlighted, indicating a strong commitment to meeting local market needs.

Thursday, 15 December 2011 06:01 AM The Chevrolet Sail U-VA LS (Diesel) comes with a 5-speed manual transmission and features disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. The cars dimensions, including a length of 3,946 mm and a wheelbase of 2,465 mm, provide ample space and stability. I think the braking system is adequate but could be improved with rear disc brakes.

Monday, 21 November 2011 01:09 AM The Sail U-VA LS (Diesel) is available in seven colors and offers various trim levels, including the LS ABS variant. This variant includes additional safety features such as ABS, which enhances the overall safety profile of the vehicle. I believe the inclusion of ABS is a wise move, given the importance of safety in modern cars.

Monday, 10 October 2011 08:24 AM Chevrolet India has emphasized the localization of the Sail U-VA to meet local market requirements. By 2018, the car contained 80% Indian parts, which helped in reducing costs and making the vehicle more competitive in the market. This strategy is likely to appeal to price-conscious Indian buyers.

Thursday, 01 September 2011 06:09 PM The Chevrolet Sail U-VA LS (Diesel) has a kerb weight of 1,124 kg and a ground clearance of 168 mm, making it suitable for Indian road conditions. The cars boot space of 248 liters is also a significant advantage, offering ample storage for passengers. I think the ground clearance is just right for navigating through Indian roads.
