About

The Chevrolet Sail U-VA LT ABS (Petrol) is equipped with a 1.2-liter SMARTECH petrol engine that produces a decent amount of power and torque, making it suitable for city driving. The car features a short-throw 5-speed gearbox, ABS, and a drivers airbag, enhancing safety. The interior is spacious with good rear legroom, better than some sedans in its class. The ride quality is excellent, and the car handles well on both good and bad roads. However, it lacks modern features like climate control, MID, and steering-mounted audio controls. The styling is dated, and the sensitive steering at high speeds requires careful handling. Despite these limitations, the Sail U-VA remains a reliable and comfortable option for family use, particularly in urban environments.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Chevrolet Sail U-VA LT ABS (Petrol) is a well-rounded family hatchback that offers several compelling features, despite some drawbacks. The 1.2-liter SMARTECH petrol engine is refined and silent, making it a pleasant drive, especially in urban conditions. The short-throw 5-speed gearbox, although not as positive as the diesel variant, is still a joy to use. However, the shift quality and the spongier clutch pedal are areas that could be improved. The car excels in ride quality and handling, making it ideal for city driving with its light steering and high seating position. However, the sensitive steering at high speeds can be a bit twitchy. Overall, its a solid choice for those looking for a reliable and comfortable city car, but it lacks some modern features and has dated styling.

Price

When the Chevrolet Sail U-VA was launched in India, the LT ABS (Petrol) variant was priced between Rs. 4.44 lakhs to Rs. 6.62 lakhs (ex-Delhi). On-road prices would typically include additional costs such as registration, insurance, and other local taxes, which could push the price up by around Rs. 1 lakh to Rs. 1.5 lakhs, depending on the state and city. This pricing made the Sail U-VA competitive in the hatchback segment, although it was suggested that it needed to be priced lower to significantly impact the market dominated by cars like the Maruti Swift. As of now, the exact on-road price would vary based on current market conditions and local taxes.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 31 December 2017 09:18 AM Chevrolet India announced the discontinuation of the Chevrolet Sail, including the Sail LT ABS (Petrol), as part of their decision to stop selling cars in the Indian market by December 31, 2017. The company will utilize its Indian facilities for export markets only. The Sail LT ABS (Petrol) was one of the top variants, featuring a 1.2-liter SMARTECH petrol engine and several safety features like ABS and a drivers airbag. I believe this move marked the end of an era for Chevrolet in India, but it was necessary given the market dynamics.

Thursday, 18 May 2017 06:08 AM In May 2017, Chevrolet India offered significant discounts on the Chevrolet Sail series, including the Sail LT ABS (Petrol), with benefits up to Rs. 55,000. This was an effort to clear inventory before their exit from the Indian market. The Sail LT ABS (Petrol) was priced around Rs. 7.17 lakh and came with features like power steering, air conditioner, and anti-lock braking system. I think these discounts were a great opportunity for buyers looking for a reliable car at a lower price.

Wednesday, 24 September 2014 10:32 AM The Chevrolet Sail LT ABS (Petrol) was launched as part of the updated Sail series in 2014, featuring a locally developed 1.2-liter SMARTECH petrol engine. This engine produced 82 bhp of maximum power at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 108.5 Nm at 5,000 rpm. The car also included advanced safety features such as ABS and a drivers airbag. I believe the update made the Sail a more competitive option in the subcompact car segment.

Thursday, 21 February 2013 09:52 PM The Chevrolet Sail LT ABS (Petrol) was praised for its spacious interior and comfortable ride, thanks to its MacPherson strut and Twist Beam suspensions. The car had a boot space of 248 liters and a seating capacity for five passengers. It also featured a 42-liter fuel tank and complied with BS-IV emission norms. I think the combination of space and comfort made it a solid choice for family buyers.

Wednesday, 17 October 2012 07:54 PM When the Chevrolet Sail LT ABS (Petrol) was introduced, it was noted for its contemporary design and high-performance capabilities. The car came with a manual transmission and a top speed of 155 kmph. It also included features like power windows, vanity mirror, and an accessory power outlet. I believe the design and feature set made it an attractive option in the market at that time.

Mileage

Thursday, 21 November 2024 03:49 AM The Chevrolet Sail U-VA LT ABS (Petrol) offers an ARAI-rated mileage of 18.2 kilometers per liter, which is respectable for a petrol hatchback in its class. In real-world conditions, you can expect around 12-15 kilometers per liter in city driving and up to 18 kilometers per liter on the highway, depending on driving habits and road conditions. This makes it a reasonable choice for those concerned about mileage and running costs, especially for urban commuters.
