The speculations have been floating in the Indian car market that General Motors is planning to launch a new mid-sized sedan christened Chevrolet Sail for the Indian market which is currently represented by the Aveo sedan. In the Indian car market the Chevrolet Aveo isn’t really doing that entire great on the sales part as the Chevrolet Aveo twins are not up to date in styling and engines and furthermore, the wins has not undergone any facelifts since three years. In addition to this the main drawback for the failure of Chevrolet Aveo is the lack of its diesel variant. Although Chevrolet Aveo comes with a 3 year maintenance pack it failed to hit the Indian roads. The fuel efficiency provided by both the twins is not up to the mark which ensures the replacement for the Aveo and Aveo U-VA siblings quite evident.
Meanwhile where Maruti India is busy in developing the next generation Dzire and Toyota India is all set to deliver the Etios diesel, it alarms the bell to GM India. However the glimpse of new Chevrolet Sail gives sign of relief for General Motors fanatics. This new Chevrolet Sail sedan is produced at Shanghai General Motors in collaboration with PATAC (Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center).
As for new Chevrolet Sail specifications, the new sedan will come housed with a 1.2 litres and 1.4 litres of S-TEC petrol engines. As per recent reports the American car maker General Motors will use the alternative fuel technology like CNG and LPG in Chevrolet Sail in the near future. GM India has not unveiled any information about the new Chevrolet Sail price in India. It is expected that this new sedan will give its competitors like Maruti Swift Dzire, Toyota Etios and Tata Indigo Manza a chase for their money.
