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

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 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

Exterior i dont think paint is good because scratches are made easily no rear fog lamp

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 no arm rest for front doors noisy power windows

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

 gear shifting is little problem

Ride Quality & Handling

driving is durable, comfort spacious,user friendly for urban rural toobody construction very bad heavy noise in bad roads

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

 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.

Space,comfort,AC,sporty stylish giant Looks,Driving xperience, Bootspace,Legroom,safety featureshavent strongly found anything as such!

Exterior OK.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) OK.Leg space is at par with any good sedan and storage is good enough for household.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Poor.

Ride Quality & Handling Ok.

Final Words My experience of dealership & Chevrolet is bad as service support is weak with Chevrolet website has no compaint section for customers and no contact details ! sales man finished delivery in less than 5 minute without explaing any functional details and courtesy. Its not a value for money buy. Need to improve service quality and engine performance,quality etc. Engine is getting hot very fast.

He will take care of all issues in sail car. If dealers are not responding mail to the above emaisl for fast response. Hope sail quality will improve and customer satisfaction.

Thanks

LookMileage

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 looks, spacious, overall feel.Very Poor Pickup, Gear shifting (at times), comparitively noisy cabin.

Exterior

Bold front look like mini cruze,rare view could have been better but still looks gud, better then toyota liva, tata vista, ford figo & comparable with swift, polo & i20

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

I read many review about poor plastic quality inside but i didn't find that, everything seems on place.Legroom Space is better then many sedan cars, only 9 mm longer then swift but u smartly managed the legroom & bootspace. bluetooth & mobile connectivity is a plus.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

I have drived my car 150 kms, both in city & highway, speed of 20 to 80 kms & find it very smooth on road, smooth gear shifting, fuel economy is also at par with ac on

Ride Quality & Handling

very smooth in driving, no any noise upto speed of 80, power steering is very sensible, performance is like a sports car

Final Words

This is an all rounder car in performance with comfortness of a sedan car from inside, if you are not willing to sale in every 2-3 years, this is one of the best option in hatchback cars.

Areas of improvement  

rare view, alloy wheels & roof rails could have been added in all variants to improve the exterior looks.

 

Bold Front look, power & driving comfortrare look could have been better
