Chevrolet Sail U-VA [2012-2014] User Reviews

Exterior

 Front looks great, rear looks ok not bad as days go by you will get use to it

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Space..space, sp..ace!!! one of the best in the segment for the money you pay. Only bad thing about this car is the power window switches are placed in the wrong place as its difficult to use but you will get use to it.

There is more for what you pay in this car no other car in this segment gives you this for the "price". Yes we might get more but on the other hand the cost also increase but this is a value for money car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 When I took delivery of this car the OOD was reading 38KM and the pull of the car was linear not even equal to maruti 800 and I thought that I have made a big mistake in choosing this car but after i clocked 100KM it started to blend with my kind of driving and it started to pull well. I think for the first 100-150KMs the car will feel very slugish but once you cross 100KMs it will behave as how you want it to be. However the acceleration is linear and what I found on the highway was it pull really well and hits100KM speed very quickly. I dont regret for buying this car right now i am getting 15KM/L in Highway and 11 KM/L in city. Just like the engine performance changed I am hopping that the mileage will also change after first service. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Rides well on  bad road, to get a good ride experience I would suggest to fill your tyre with nitrogen and keep it 29 or 28 psi on all tyres in Highway and 30psi in city (Can be tried in all cars) 😊

Final Words

 Its a value for money car. It has very good space to carry 5 adult comfortably. I was not looking for a racing car but a family car and I feel this is it.

Areas of improvement  

 Hight adjustable seat and seat belt, power window switch back to driver side door pannel.

 

Space, front look, AC, lite clutch, Stock lights, power adjustable ORVM and Boot spaceDoesn't give promised milage

Exterior Looking vary good from Front like mini cruze  and side view but back side poor but beter than Swift.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) This is very Specious car and best in this segment , very good leg room and head room, front and passanger seets are very comfortable. Another good thing this s very updated feature are availble which is not available in any car at this price in this segment. Safty features are also availble.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox This egine which made by FIAT also very good and also chevolet giving you 5 yr (150000 KM), warranty ,The perfomence of this engine is also finominal, Now the fuel economy of this car is average this is giving me 20 km /l. Gears is very smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling All things of this car is good but one the best part of this Car Handling is very very special becose when you drive the car handling is excelent ,when you drive after going 150 km/h the car giving you very good stability.

Final Words When you compare the car with any other in riding, looks, performanceand, features also with the engine this is the best hatchback car is the segmeng, but swift have only one risone to best the resale value. So if not looking on resale value then Its The BEST.

Thanks Chevvy to giving this type of car.

Areas of improvement One area required to improve that music System ,its not bad  i think its better than others but Best car required Best Music System.

Front Look ,Top Level Performence of engine ,Driving SkillBack Side look

Exterior I own a Sandrift grey amazing colour with little home work that I need not keep on dusting it .The very look of the front end is very impressive as that of a high end vehicle

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)  climate control at avery mind blowing pace of just only 20 to 30 sec to cool the cabin.superb space, my kid runs within the car.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox As if now I cant update but seems to be promising

Ride Quality & Handling  I really love it . Steering is alittle bit light but hope you dont opt this car for a out performer.

Final Words Out of 40 cars in this segment no car has all the features,comfort,space at this price.

Areas of improvement Rear to be improved and interiors a little bit of luxury but keep the price in mind.

My dealer ORANGE CHEVROLET Visakhapatnam and his Team really a promised delivery on time as well as the service and moreover I wanted the dealers label on any part of my car where it would look better.Iwill even update photos.

Comfort , space ,luxury like a sedan and the price and the promise chevrolet and its dealersRear not that good but add a spoiler you cant believe with roof rails and spoiler

Exterior

If you like cute, sporty contraptions.. then this car is not for you. This is a strong, no-nonsense, hard working car. The front visage is probably the best int he business. The front grille and the chrome lick exudes masculinity. But the rear is a bit of a let down. The sloping roof makes the rear quite low as well.... which may hamper rear window visibility at times. I've installed roof rails from the Beat... which gives it a sportier, SUV-like look. Probably GM should look at offering it as standard fitment. Would had loved to have electrically foldable ORVMs and rear sensors though.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

When it comes to space.. the Sail gives even some of the bigger players a serious run for their money. There is oodles of it everywhere... even with the front seats pushed far back. The dash is conventional and may seem a tad dated to some. But thats the way I like it. Window controls may take a bit getting used to... but once you do it feels a lot better than the conventional window mounted ones. The Audio is pretty basic.. bu the Bluetooth is a bonus. Would had loved to have steering mounted audio controls. AC is decent.....but no climate control.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Have not had the chance to really test the engine out. I have a 1.2 lt petrol, which seems a tad underpowered in the lower gears.... but it really evens out after 40 km/hr. Gear shift is smooth. But u need to keep this baby rev happy most of the time. Haven't had the chance to calculate the milege.. but I hve been promosed 14-15 in city conditions.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Suspension is a dream.... as I read somewhere "it gobbles potholes for breakfast". Ride quality is more sedan class than hatch-back. So may not feel as nifty and zippy to some. But again this works for me.

Final Words

This is defintely not a fun car.. with lots of gizmos all around. Go for it if you prefer masculine looks and want a sturdy car with oodles of space. More for people who think with their "head" rather than their heart.

Areas of improvement  

Rear design, sluggish in low gears (esp. with AC), weak headlight, rear sensors. Adding a pair of roof rails, boosts the flair quotient instantly.

 

Muscular looks, Sturdy build, Spacious, Superb suspension, good audio with bluetoothRear design, sluggish in low gears (esp. with AC), weak headlight, basic audio

Exterior

 Very good, sporty looks (turns heads), back lights r very attractive, from front it looks like CRUZ, feels a big car

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Very good, space is amazing, you will feel proud taking your family in like a bIG Sedan car, many have complained about the plastic quality of dash board but i personally found it competing infact better than few leading brands, Electric mirror adjustment is a nice feature. 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 All right so far. Sometime egnition stops on first gear.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Amazing--- many of my friends have experience it! 

Final Words

 Fantastic Car! For those who want to keep them Separated from Crowd. 

Areas of improvement  

 May be Fuel Economy (I havent check my car's mileage yet), Seat Height Adjustment shuld be there, also shuld come with CNG equipped, Should indicate Mileage, distance to empty etc, Digital speedometer shall make this car more sporty.

Exterior

 Sporty looks from front, just like mini cruze, back side looks can be improoved

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Just 9cm longer from swift but Very specious from inside

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 I have driven my Sail Uva 1.2 ltr Ls ABS (petrol) 1065 km till now (includes 600 kms of city ride & 400 kms of highway rides) since april 12' 2014. I am happy choosing this car over swift & i20. Initially car was giving 10.67 fuel economy as i was driving first time & was using low gears, now i am getting almost 13-14 kmpl in city rides with ac on.

Ride Quality & Handling

Over all Good

Final Words

When i was looking for a car for myself & family, focus was on space, looks, safety & budget between 5-6 lacs.I went through swift, swift dzire, i20, indica vista, etios liva, i10 grand, fiet punto, ritz, nisaan micra. But when i saw this car & took a test drive & compared with rivals, i sidelined Its low sales figures in charts(due to low marketing from GM) because i was buying a car for myself not for the whole country, i find it suited with my requirements, superior inside space & security features with ABS & EBD, its worth buying.

Areas of improvement  

 Back side looks can be improoved

 

Value for money,Specious with security featuresBack side looks can be improoved

Exterior Bold and Agressive Design. Rear is also live.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good space, Interior, Comfortable car

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Milegae of 20 in delhi City traffic with AC ON. Frequent Gear shift is required. Pick up needs improvement.

Ride Quality & Handling Purchased within first month of launch , already done 30K. Ride quality is Good, easily handles U-Shaped speed breakers of Highways.

Final Words Already owned Figo, Liva, Swift. Sail is only comparable with I20 and POLO. Swift / Liva are even not comparable with Sail. Spilt rear seats, Both side ERVMs, Lighter, ash tray, Digital tachometer, Driver side Air bag, Fog lights, Boot Light, Parcel tray, Seat belt & Door alarm are standard in this model. Chevy must review this car completely and fix small issues which are going against it to make ir success story in India.

Areas of improvement  

 1. Rear Suspension sound.

 2. Interior plastic quality.

 3. AC Switch light should be easily visible in daytime.

 4.  If Door is half closed and not locked perfectly, Door alarm is not coming, it should be improved.

 5. Glove Box size is very small, after putting the car papers folder , no space left.

 6. After sales Service.

Design , Mileage , Space , InteriorsService

Exterior

Exteriors are standard but look is more like sedan compared to other hatchbacks but ok.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Interiors are standard but well designed especially the space is worth and much better than compared to other hatchbacks in the segments

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Fuel Economy is very important part and now a days alsmost every hatchback is coming with very much similar fuel economy in diesel segment, just a kilometer here and there, depending on driving conditions and driving skills, I get around 15 to 16 kmpl in local and on highways it's around 18 to 20 as long as you drive in decent speed between 80 to 100 max.

Engine is turbo charged pickup is great, and can beat almost any other hatchback in the segment, thanks to carefully crafted aero dynamic shape. I had driven Swift, i20, Polo, Punto etc. however no car could reach to 160 km/hour speed all other cars start shaking or loosing grip on the road, but Sail-UVA is wonderful when it comes to speeding!! of course you can't expect fuel economy when speeding. I could travel only in Inova from Surat to Vasai with non-stop driving of 2.5 hours and only with Sail-UVA, I could achieve the same distance in 2.5 hours, WOW!! Thats like small car, with high performance, good fuel economy, great speeding capacity and none the less absolutely fantabulous gear box!

Ride Quality & Handling

It is good though I felt like i20 and Swift has better shock absorbvers when driving in local, but when riding in high speed it doesn't sence at all, only on bumpy rides you can understand the difference but it's not that great than one can quickly feel it.

Steering wheel is great and works very much as per the expectation. 

Final Words

Worth buying vehicle as long as you want following items in just one vehicle:
1. Small in size
2. Bigger space inside compared to any other medium segment hatchback
3. Good Fuel Economy
4. Great safety features (base model also comes with airbags)
5. Very good turbo charged diesel engine
6. If you are fond of speeding or generally like to drive between 100 to 120, though you can take up to 150 without any troubles, provide you can control the vehicle

Areas of improvement  

The only thing I thought could be better if clutch could be more smoother though it is good enough and shock abs could be improved too!

 

Fuel Economy, Spacious, Speed, PerformanceNot really considering the price tag

Though exterior luks a bit out dated still it got a mini chevy cruze luk from front but that is not enough wen compared with other gudlukin car in market. Lukwise it donot have the aggressivness of the cruze or cuteness of the beat. Inside the car..it has a lot of space, plenty of leg room n lots of storage space. But the plastic quality inside the car cud hav been better. Even the windows rattles wen slid down half while drivng. The steering wheel luks basic. A lil bit of Chrome on the chevy bowtie on the steering cud hav made it more attractive. But the engine has got the power. It offers great pickup n also gives gud mileage(18-20). This is my 2nd car. 1st I had a RITZ. I sold it n took a sail u-va n I am quiet satisfied with this decision of mine. It is a gud car n true value for its prizing. GO FOR IT.

Gud pickup n fuel economy. lots of space, exclnt handling, ride quality gud.Bit of cabin sound, plastic quality cud have been better. out dated exterior,
