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

Look and Style very good. Comfort has lot space in driver cabin and back boot space is also pretty decent. Can keep couple of luggages. You can feel the power of the engine. The seats are also comfortable but yes rear leg room should have been more.

Pickup is good overall. I have driven 500+km good and mileage in city and highway. Now the ride is more comfortable, quiter with great traction. The first service is already done, the car is going great with no problems.

Mileage is very good giving 15minimum in city, and 17+in highway. Best Features i bought base, version. Needs to improve: good overall.  as far as improvement notning is now immediately. I feed performance is good.

Overall Experience, very nice. Spacious on driver side and back. good AC.

Space was pretty much good. when compared to swift, figo this is far better. Overall, the Sail U-VA definitely comes across as a pleasant fresh face if not a showstopper. Best part is you can bend your seat even in base version. Excellent one.

Mileage,style,spaciousNone

Exterior Great look, and gets a feeling of cruzeiro 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Plastics can be better and one can see cost cutting in interiors and that can be agreed for its price tag.  

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good engine to drive on highways, but 2nd gear lacks power so one need to shift to 1st gear in low revs. Good fuel Eco, I get 20 km per litre for sure. Gear box is good and handy.

Ride Quality & safety This is the best, no bump, no pot holes every thing is won very easily, it has best suspension, best braking with ABS and air bags.

Final Words For 7.85lacks on road it offers lot which many cars don't offer, ABS, air bags, cdplayer with aux, Bluetooth  and USB modes, dual color interiors, best suspension and  lastly and the triumph card is space, it's a huge car.

Areas of improvement Seat cushioning can be better, 2nd gear can be tuned well.

Exteriors, space inside2nd gear, hard seats

Exterior The exterior is good. Especially chevorlet symbol in golden color.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) When we come to the interiors chevrolet not even giving option to choose intetiore colors.need to improve in the seat cover color. There is no seat height adjustment.there is no temp controller. when we come to the steering wheel they not even make that one in gold color, the chevy symbol in black not suites well and I dont like it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Are OK.

Ride Quality & Handling I ride my sail uva for one thousand KM handling and ride quality is good.

Final Words Money value car, comfort and spacious. 

Areas of improvement THERE IS SOME LITTLE SCRATCHES NEAR BUMPER. WHEN I WENT TO FIRST SERVICE. THEY NOT EVEN PROVIDING A SOLUTION FOR IT. - POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

CHEVROLET HAS TO GIVE TRAINING TO ITS DEALERS AFTER SALES SUPPORT. GENERAL MOTORS HAS TO COME WITH THE PLAN OF UPGRADATION OF EXISTING VECHICLES. LIKE UPGRADING SAIL UVA WITH TEMP CONTROLLER.

Good looking car with more space.Bad interiors, poor customer support

Not happy with the purchase, totally cheated by the people out their. Not giving any fuel relaxation. I have driven around 4k kms and spent money like water on fuel. the people out their claim around 21km and promise to deliver around 18km, however got it serviced 3 times still hard to get.And that too on finance, totally lost with mind and senses.
Can somebody help.......?

Even after making visits 4 times in the last 2 months I am still at the same point. The asked me to drive at 5th gear above 50 to get the maximum output but unfortunately its still the same and lost the pleasure of power too.
May be thats the reason this is not on the roads visible so often. I have hardly seen 4-5 max on the roads lesser than in their showrooms even. And their is no marketing or advertising too, probably they know its not a good product to be endorsed. I have totally lost my faith in General Motors
Seriously Guys, if you are planning a purchase dont experiment with your money and go with the trusted brands.
The service people try to help but there is no result

Final Words

Totally its a good package i never face any complaints till now and i purchased this red beauty on 28th of Nov '12 so far clocked  as on 21.11.14, 23000Km/hr Engine oil changed twice with very less expence while comparing other brand cars in this segment. First time oil service they charges 1450.00  /-with no service charges  as it was a last free service. this time they charged 4000.00 /- which includes break cleaning. Im the one who purchased this car first in Chennai.

Areas of improvement  

 We need to keep on chasing the service team and ensure all the line items were checked as per the OEM recommendation in the manual. Otherwise they will cheat very very easily as per my opinion.

 

Good Space, excellent engine performance and good milageinterior colour

Exterior

 No needs words to say for aggresive design.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Horn Buttons are uncomfortable , it must be full press horn surface as  its in spark.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 Fuel economy is 20plus in City condtions With  AC its always 18 plus.

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride Quality and leg space is pretty good on rear Seats. A comfortable and Confident Car in all Road Conditions.Suspension is Good.

Final Words

Done 25k Kms.Car is a worth package at this price. No car in this segment is giving these features , with fuel economy of 20kms in City conditions. Chevy is making best cars but needs to check their operations to build confidence in Customers. Customer service is improved as compared to last year.

Areas of improvement  

Horn Buttons are uncomfortable , it must be full press horn surface as in spark.AC and Final lights you cannot see in day light. All other things are Good.

 

Design , Fuel Economy , Space.Horn Buttons on Steering Wheel , AC and Fan lights which you cannot see in daylight ,Rear Suspension

Exterior Well, I must say appearance of any car is more subjective. The beauty of the design lies in the eyes of the beholder. I personally like it as the entire appearance presents us a mature car for mature people; it does not belong to Chevy Beat strata which enthrals youg hearts.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Again, the interior will not make anyone resist from being inside the car. Yes, being labelled as a premium hatchbak there is definitely room for improvedment in the looks of dash. On the other hand, no one will complain about the airy and roomy setting.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Again the engine does not disappiont the people who will be travelling in the car for a comfortable ride rather than looking forward to perform feats of an F1 driver. It provides good response.

Ride Quality & Handling This is the best trait of this the newer entrant from he Chevy stable. It is more rooted on road even if crossing triple digits. Steering is light but would have bettered had it offered more response.

Final Words New Chevy Sail U-VA ticks almost all boxes for a mature buyer whose mantra is practicabilty. Add it Chevy assurance and warranty.

Areas of improvement I think the most desirable improvement everyone will vote for is plastic quality. To live upto to its name, Sail U-VA must update its plastics and dash design to more sophistication. Secondly, comes seat adjustments and climate control options.

Ride quality, Fuel economy, Mature looksPlastic quality and plain dash board

Exterior Superb Front Looks- Probably best among Hatchbacks and challenges several entry level sedans. Back Design could have been better. Though I got Spoiler and Roof rails. They helped in improving overall looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Feature Filled for its Price. Would have been better if Keyless Entry was part of this variant. Though i got Remote Central Locking by the dealer. Uncomparable Front and Backseat Legroom. Very comfortable even for Long Drives.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good Pickup. Going gets Great after 1700RPM. pretty smooth gearshifts with short shifts. For first 1000 Kms got around 16-17 kmpl. Expecting that to get better.

Ride Quality & Handling Nice Handling. Nice Braking. ABS seems to work well.

Final Words Good Family car. VFM. I wonder why they used name of their 2 previous cars. probably GM loves SAIL and UVA too much. I would recomend this car to people who like space, decent power.

Areas of improvementes Music System. Back Looks. Chrome Logo on Steering.

Front Looks, Cabin Space, Comfort, Good AC, Decent MileageMusic System's Build Quality

This review is done from my test drive experience , about 15km i had driven the car and these are my findings.

Exterior Exterior styling is good not that sporty but looks like a sedan from front the twin part grill with chromium is nice to see the front bumper style is also good. On side there are body line which increases the appeal but rear need a bit improvement. Over all is a good car to see from outside.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior needs improvement in terms of styling steering looks plain, but it’s not boring the interior feels airy and roomier seats are good but should have little more thigh support in back and little more soft cushions NVH levels are very low and has excellent suspension takes the comfort level to a sedan its very apt for long drives. The air conditioner is good it cools the cabin in minutes over all it has a good interior comfort.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox The 1.2l Smartech petrol engine is a good performer it pulls in all gear without any strain and we can do overtakes in 5th gear with ease the power is steady we won’t feel it has it until we look on speed dials. But it won’t feel that sporty like the swift.

Gear shift is smooth and has short throws and changes from a very low rpm the acceleration is quick and smooth. Since i had only a test drive I was not able to say anything about fuel economy but in city it claims a 12-14 km/l with ac and 16+ in high ways.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is fantastic the suspension is good and tuned for our roads no bumpy or jerky feeling even in bad roads. The high speed stability is good and steering feels more precise at speed but not as in punto or swift but won’t make you out of control. On slow speed its light and easy .Over all dynamics is good and is a decent performer rather than a sportier performer.  

Final Words Over all its a more practical car with lots of space and comfort than a funky or a sporty one. Those who needs a sporty car won’t feel it a great one but if we look for a car for comfort and space with over all performer the go for Sail UVA.

Areas of improvement Rear styling needs some cosmetic change. Interior should have some more styling and some small features like steering mount audio controls, bit more thigh support and a much softer seat.

Enormous space in front and rear,Fit and finish is better, Engine performance is decent ,Boot spaceInterior is plain, Seats can be little more soft , horn pad position
