Our take on this /// Verdict

The Chevrolet Sail LS Petrol is a decent option for those looking for a family sedan, particularly for city commutes and occasional highway cruises. While the 1.2 litre petrol engine, which produces 85bhp, is refined and silent, it lacks the excitement and torque needed for brisk acceleration. The gearbox, though short-throw, can be unfocussed and requires a firmer shove to engage higher gears. However, the car excels in comfort, offering a spacious backseat with good rear legroom, making it suitable for chauffeur-driven users. The ride quality is commendable, and the car handles well on various road conditions. Despite some drawbacks, the Sail LS Petrol is well-priced and feature-laden, making it a viable choice in the entry-level sedan segment.

Price

The Chevrolet Sail LS Petrol is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom prices start at INR 4.99 lakhs for the base variant, INR 5.49 lakhs for the LS variant, INR 5.70 lakhs for the LS ABS variant, and INR 6.41 lakhs for the top-of-the-line LT variant. On-road prices, including taxes and other charges, would typically range from around INR 5.5 lakhs to INR 7.5 lakhs, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes the Sail LS Petrol an attractive option when compared to other entry-level sedans, offering good value for money.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 31 December 2017 04:48 PM Chevrolet India announced the discontinuation of all its products, including the Chevrolet Sail LS (Petrol), effective December 31, 2017. The company will utilize its Indian facilities for export markets only. This move marked the end of the Sails journey in the Indian market. I think this was a significant loss for consumers who appreciated the Sails value for money.

Friday, 01 December 2017 11:00 PM In the months leading up to its discontinuation, Chevrolet offered benefits of up to Rs. 55,000 on the Sail series, including the Sail LS (Petrol), to clear out inventory. This was a great opportunity for buyers to get a good deal on a reliable car. I believe these offers made the Sail an even more attractive option for budget-conscious buyers.

Thursday, 18 May 2017 08:12 AM The Chevrolet Sail LS (Petrol) was praised for its spacious interior and comfortable ride, making it a great option for family commutes and chauffeur-driven use. The car featured a 1.2-liter petrol engine producing 82 bhp and 113 Nm of torque, which was adequate for city driving. I think the Sails comfort and space were its strongest selling points.

Thursday, 21 February 2013 05:14 PM Chevrolet updated the Sail series, including the LS (Petrol) variant, with new features and a locally developed 1.2-liter SMARTECH petrol engine. This update aimed to enhance performance and fuel efficiency, with the petrol variant delivering a mileage of 18.2 kmpl. I believe these updates made the Sail more competitive in its segment.
