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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Exterior 

Great looks. It looks macho and gives a sedan feel from front. The placement of light is stylish. The paint quality is good and makes the car look sturdy. The back is also quite attractive.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 The best part is the car comes loaded with features such as internally adjustable electric OVRMs. Very good space in both rear and front and can comfortably sit five adults, attractive digital dashboard (but surprised not to find temperature indicator). Front power windows (although the placement of button is unusual and sometimes irritating). The AC is quite powerful and cools the car quite fast. There is no place beside the clutch. So after releasing it, you have to place your foot below it. Can be irritating in city driving, but will get used to it.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 The pickup is great and smooth. Gear changing is convenient. The worst part is the fuel economy. I was promised 18 kmpl and it gives around 12 kmpl. which is pathetic. 

Ride Quality & Handling

 Ride quality is enjoyable but tends to roll on bumps. No anti roll device is provided. It can be quite strenuous on bad roads. On highway the pickup, speed and overall ride is very good. Even at high speeds you do not feel out of control. My father, who is 72, loves it for its easy maneuverability and riding comfort.

Final Words

 A good value of money car, if you ignore the fuel efficiency.

Areas of improvement  

 Fuel efficiency, roll problem and position of power windows switch.

Exterior I really liked the overall look and feel of the car, it gives a premium feel and the style gets complete with front grille and fog lamps. The doors are lighter and have to be pushed harder than general for a proper locking (which I don't like as I owned a palio which was far sturdy). I feel that within 1 year or so the doors would start creating noise which is giving me pain by the thought of it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) It is dual tone and simple which I like in my car, I got the existing music system replaced with a touch streen panel which completes the look although I am ok with plastic quality (which many have reviwed no good) but I found places where things could have been better. It is very comfortable as it was my first priority for my family to be comforatble in rear seat otherwise I would have gone for Sail sedan or Amaze. I found the interior noiser than my palio as after pulling up window it used to be silent but in Sail uva, I can still hear outside noise.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Very poor pickup, gear shifting is ok but at times get problematic. Fuel economy is 15 kmpl+ with city & highway driving (I drive less and mostly on weekends) but I expected more as 11-12 is what my 10year old palio used to give.

Ride Quality & Handling It is good. But I have been hearing some cranky noise from right side of either dashboard / tire / shocker but service center has checked and not found anything it generally comes during initial 2-3 kmts and very off and on so also, when I took it to centre it was not a problem so lets see.

Final Words If chevrolet is ready to improve pickup and gear box it is must buy.

Areas of improvement Pickup.

Exterior Just can't say its a hatchback & looking like a premium sedan as cruze.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Too Spacious, comfortable, easy to in & exit & having great shoulderroom.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Its nice, fuel economy is good, I m regularly getting 15-16 kmpl and also a good responsive engine having a good power on low rpm and you just surprised when u drived this vehicle in lowest rpm n top gear, you can just leave the execelerate, it never jerked.

Ride Quality & Handling Its Great, having a good stability on road with wonderfull ground clearance n superb breaking.

Final Words This car really offered value for money. this is unbeatable car in this segment n pricing.

Areas of improvement This car should be promote for this segment.

- FINALY CONCLUDING TO THE MATTER GM HAS GIVEN A VERY GOOD IN SEGMENT AND WITH BEST PRICE TAG.

- EVEN THE BRAND IS TAKING CARE OF SERVICE FACTOR BY PROVIDING ROAD SIDE ASSITANCE PROGRAM WHICH WORKS FOR YOU 24*7*365 SO YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY AFTER A CHEVY SAIL U-VA PURCHASE GO SAFE GO HAPPY AND GO LETHAL.
