Stylish Look and performanceNothing

Exterior Fabolous looks. I purchased the Sandy grey, I just fell in love at the first sight. Looks are beautiful from all sides. My car looks damn royal.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Cabin is very comfortable, spacious legroom and head room, AC is fantastic. Leatherite seats are very comfortable. Blue lining of dash board and chrome lining is very dazzling.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Good pick up, good fueal economy of 17Kmpl with AC ON.  Gear shfting is smooth.

Exterior Good.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Worst fuel economy of 8 km vs 18.8 promised. No response even after raising warranty. The dealer sundaram motors worst service and working berocratic. No personal touch from chevy and TVS top management. kept the car in TVS workshop for 15 days 3 occasions. TVS staff arrogant. Police criminal being filed on top management of both companies and legal notice being served. Don't buy.

Ride Quality & Handling Heavy noise like a road roller, clutch, gear worst performance. Can't move in 1st and second Gear. u have to give full clutch for moving in 1st or 2nd gear.

Final Words Dont buy chevy any ptoduct.

Exterior Excellent look, we purchased the Black colour, it looks fantastic.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Spacious cabin, Decent legroom and headroom and very powerful A/C.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent pickup and good mileage of around 20-21 kmpl with A/C, if you want to overtake just press on the accelerater the will fly.

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is  fantastic  in all road condition, Back seat journey is also very good because its very spacious than Dzire.

Final Words Best value for money in segment. I dont know why people dont like this car, I feel its way more good than the swift dzire. but one thing SAIL (2012-2014) interior were not that great thats correct coz of the interior colours used, But the new SAIL (2015) the interior colours were changed its black and beige. We purchased the base model of diesel variant.

We added a new black audio sysytem and put a new sterring wheel cover now the interior is not that bad. I dont know some idiots are saying "they are getting a mileage of 8 kmpl and worst pickup" but idont feel any thing like that. ifeel a little sad bcoz the old models interior.

Areas of improvement Horn buttons are placed on the two sides of steering wheel.

Good styling, Spacious cabin, Smooth ride, Decent mileageHorn buttons are placed on the two sides of steering

Details about looks, performance etc, servicing and low maintenance on Chevrolet carries a low budget price in India I love Chevrolet I missed General Motors and Chevrolet cars.

NANA

Exterior Pulled of a few stickers on the back and the sides, there is no passer driving hatchbacks and low end vehicles who would not stare at it. Design is simply good, Chevy cross when stickers around removed just stands out, As good as any high end sedan.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Features are decent for the price, I own a LS ABS - so has most of them. Horn on the steering is bit tricky, I first thought I might get used to.. but its still a work in progress. For a six foot man, I find the leg room, seating everything abundent, may be could fit well for upto 6foot plus people (Surprisingly). Noice reduction inside is simply superb. there were days initially I used to start again thinking it was off.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox It's no beast of an engine, but if you hit it hard at times and will not dissappoint you most of the time.

Fuel economy is out of window, do not expect this to give any more than 10 KM on THE WALKING DEAD kind of day or a highway. I am not complaining as I went for the looks not for the efficiency (Its a very good first car to own)

Ride Quality & Handling Car speed 1st kicks it, 2nd is smooth & 3rd works for drags. 4th and 5th on other hand a very slight transition that you could notice. For inside city this is beauty as even the narrow corners could be handled.

Ride quality is decent, as the vehicle stands tall due to high ground clearance. you do not have to worry about speed breakers and deep potholes. I know that I have been through the same road in 3 sedans (Amaze,Swift & Etios) all of them gave me jitters and the test drive guy as well.

Final Words I had so much problem reading reviews from most of the people on online forums about delivery promise delay, bad service. I had no such issues, I have been well informed and also been provided with a stand by vehicle for 10 days of waiting which exceeded their promise date. They have always been extremely courteous and timely at service delivery as well.

I had my first car service a month ago, Bill was almost as less as my Honda Bike these days. Insurance claim process was so easy ICICI has to be the best bank in the world.

Chevrolet is the best in America for a reason, I bought this based of my experiance and word from my pals back in the US. and have to admit best of its class is what you get. 

Areas of improvement Well if there was some room for improvements, the service team and re-designs will definetely fix them.

Impressive look, VFM is 100%, additively good Chevy drive.Few minor wear and tear issues, all taken care of by great service

Hi,

I am a PhD student and during the final phase of my thesis (Oct-Dec,2014) was looking to buy my first car.

Did an Extensive Research on various cars and their models. Gone through reviews of various cars at mouthshut.com, team-bhp etc. Was going to book Amaze but suddenly this car caught my attention.

Got a very well-behaved Sales representative and till now I liked the behaviour of Chevy representatives at multiple showrooms that i have visited randomly  in the Hyderabad City.

As my budget was 6.5 lacs and would driving occasionally, I was bent on a petrol version. As i already own a Hyundai Santro at Home; At here( Hyderabad) was looking for a Sedan ( since compact sedans like Dzire., Xcent and Amaze are ruling the market :D) 

Did a sufficient amount of research on sail sedan and talked with the customers at service centres of different car models like Xcent, Amaze including premium Hatchbacks like Grand i10  and Brio ( these two was also somehow in my Consideration set).

Finally, got the delivery of my car on 31st Dec, 2014 in the evening.

Started Sailing from 1st Jan, 2015. I am very satisfied with my research on various models as it indeed helped me to best utilize my investment instead of falling in the category of Common Crowd and going for Dzire, Xcent or Amaze.

I am not criticizing other brands or their models; but at the same time i really dnt find any solid reason why this car has been under-rated.

I am getting fuel efficiency of around 15.8 Kmpl ( even before first service). Whats more I need from a Mid-size Sedan even before first service. Chevy should really promote this car (I guess that is what was missing really as  i too, like many. were not much informed of this car).

Engine: I really find the SMARTECH engine butter smooth without any vibration (till now). Next the throttle is linear and Clutch and Accerlation is very smooth in their delivery.

Hence, I seriously appraise Maruti, Hyundai and Honda for their beauties : Dzire, Xcent and AMaze; but at the same time I have fallen for this wonderful Chevy SAil!!!

Exterior Excellent car, not falls in the Compact Sedan Class, I would rather say an under-rated car......not much sales figure like Dzire, Amze and Xcent. and hence not so much seen on Indian Roads.I feel Chevy shoudl promote properly. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Supspension is one the best in its class and much better than Dzire, Xcent and Amaze.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Butter Smooth Engine; (I have test driven Amaze; xcent and Dzire and seriously I dnt find hardly any difference in engine smoothness compared to the most popular Kappa 2 VTVT Engine of marutis and Hyundai; and also with I-vtec of Honda.).They are definitely smooth; but SMARTECH is not less at the least  in terms of response, drivalibility, throttle, engine sound and vibration. Its equally capable thats all I can say (at the least) if not better.

Ride Quality & Handling Chevy cars ( including Sail Sedan) are best known for fine-tuned suspension. Its really one of the best and well-balanced suspensions among its class of cars.

Final Words I have fallen in love with this brand ( which was least aware of

Areas of improvement The only areas of improvement that I strongly feel Chevy should look into (for all its cars): interior plastic quality and fit and finish!

Best suspension and ride quality, Good fuel economy, Excellent service by Chevy RepresentativesInterior Plastic Quality Could have been better!!!

I got a new Chevy Sail car in 2015 Dec., till date I have driven around 12000 KM. 

Travelled from Hyderabad to Tirupathi 4 times. Excellent car for long drives as well as city drive.

Mine is Diesel top varient. No sound inside the cabin. Spacious car as well. Looks wise it looks very good from exterior. Leg room is also good. Good suspension. 

Service by Chevy is also good. I got service done two times in Hyderabad and one service done in Tirupati. They have authorised service centers in many cities.

Overall after one year I am writing this review as a happy customer, I thought of sharing this to user community.

Hope you will find your dream car. Mine is Chevy Sail., so far sailing well :) :)

You can definitely go for Chevy Sail. Best Sedan car at this price range.

I love my chevy car. :)

Thanks.

I am using Base Petrol model this car and my driving is 60km per day since last 4 months. What impressed be is noiseless engine and excellent pick-up in city driving condition.
