Sail U-VA Petrol is a not a good performer.

Exterior Car looks like a mini Cruze when looking at the front and looks like an Alto when looking at the rear. But still I liked the looks and it is more attractive than Swift, Figo, Beat, Punto etc.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) The only thing which I like in the car is its interior space. This car has got an enormous spacing inside the cabin. Enough legroom even for tall passengers (I am 6 ft 7 inches tall and I felt very comfortable on the driving seat as well as the rear passenger seat). The car has got power windows for all the four doors with central locking. Tilt-able steering gives additional comfort when you go for long drives. Rear seats can be folder down in 40:60 ratio, however if you fold the rear sear to accommodate cargo, you have to pull the driver seat forward that may limit the space for tall drivers.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox According to the specifications, the petrol engine has got 86 bhp @6000 rpm. This may looks like the Sail is powered same as Swift, Ritz and I20. However, while driving, I felt it is not even powered as Alto. Alto at least have a good throttle response. But Sail really disappointed me in pick up, power and acceleration. It was struggling to pass an inclination slope where as an Alto won’t be struggling like this much. Low pickup, less acceleration really made me disappointed. Later I heard the same complaint from a Chevy Aveo U-VA owner too.

The car can give a fuel economy around 12 km/l in city traffic and 16 km/l in highways. Gear shifting was not as smooth as I20, but it was as good as Swift, Punto and better when compared to Figo.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is good and this car can be handled well in high speeds. Sail U-VA is longer and heavier when compared to other hatchbacks and has got better stability on the road.

Final Words I really won't recommend this car. If you are planning to buy this car thinking that it is equally powered as Swift, then please, this is not the right car you are looking for. This car is a hopeless performer.

Areas of improvement Chevroet must work on Sail U-VA to improve its power and performance. Air Condition should be more powerful.
