Chevrolet Sail L (Petrol) Updates

Thursday, 18 May 2017 09:07 PM Chevrolet India announced the discontinuation of all its products, including the Chevrolet Sail, effective December 31, 2017. This decision was part of General Motors strategy to utilize its Indian facilities for export markets only. The Sail, available in petrol and diesel variants, had been a significant model for Chevrolet in India. I believe this move marked a significant shift in GMs global strategy, focusing more on export markets rather than local sales.

Wednesday, 24 September 2014 06:44 PM In 2014, Chevrolet India launched new variants of the Chevrolet Sail, available in both hatchback and sedan forms. The petrol variants were priced between Rs. 4.99 lakhs and Rs. 6.41 lakhs, while the diesel variants ranged from Rs. 6.29 lakhs to Rs. 7.51 lakhs. These updates included new features and engine options, aiming to boost sales in the competitive Indian market. I think these updates were crucial in trying to revitalize the models appeal, though the market response was mixed.

Thursday, 21 February 2013 05:37 PM General Motors India highlighted the Chevrolet Sails fuel efficiency, with the 1.2-liter petrol engine delivering a mileage of 18.2 km/L and the 1.3-liter diesel engine achieving 22.1 km/L. These mileage figures were significant in the Indian market, where fuel efficiency is a key consideration for buyers. I think the emphasis on fuel efficiency was a smart move, given the cost-conscious nature of Indian consumers.

Thursday, 21 February 2013 04:30 PM The Chevrolet Sail sedan was designed with a focus on practicality and comfort, featuring a muscular front design, upswept headlamps, and a new Chevrolet family grille. The interior included beige upholstery and faux silver accents to enhance the appeal. I believe the design, while not groundbreaking, was a step in the right direction for Chevrolet in the small sedan segment.

Friday, 02 November 2012 09:06 AM The Chevrolet Sail was first launched in India on November 2, 2012, with the Sail U-VA hatchback making its debut at the New Delhi Auto Expo 2012. The car featured a 1.2-liter petrol engine and a 1.3-liter diesel engine, both with 5-speed manual transmissions. The Sail was praised for its spacious interior and various storage spaces. I believe the launch was a positive step for Chevrolet, as it brought a fresh design and more features to the market.
