Chevrolet Sail Sedan

Campaigning the new SAIL, GM launched an advertisements explaining the customers about the internal technical specifications along with the technical pride and resources the company harnessed over the years. The advertisement titled ‘SAIL 1.3 litre SDE SMARTECH Engine’ GM displayed its latest innovation 1.3-litre SDE SMARTECH engine. The new engine offers an output of 78 PS at 4000 rpm. The exclusive research by GM’s Powertrain Division at Turin and with high intellectual resources from GM Pune and GM Banglore, helped in creating the unique engine that delivers high performance, fuel efficiency while maintaining the cost effective profile. Being a refined version of the award winning 4-cylinder, SDE engine which GM designed in collaboration with Fiat. The new variant has fixed geometry turbochargers which provide powerful drive while maintaining the stability and precision even at low rpm. The turbochargers provide 205Nm of torque at 1750 rpm. GM used light weight material for the body of engine so that the effective friction and weight of the vehicle is maintained. The intake manifold is also designed using light weight plastic which also improved the torque. Mileage of 22.1 kmpl is another improvement in the new version, which the company attained by using Common Rail Fuel injection system. One of the common issues faced by diesel engines include the NVH effects that, if not given attention to, cripple the driving experience. The 1.3-litre SDE SMARTECH engine controls this problem by using low inertia valve trains with hydraulic lash adjusters. The mileage is improved by using DDHC 4 valves per cylinder. The pistons are lightweight and are coated with graphite to reduce friction. The graphite coating is done both on the piston skirts as well as top grooves. GM claims that the vehicle has increased durability by using fractured connecting rods. In the wake of ecologically concerned engineering, GM created the new engine so as to meet the demands of the planet. The engine is electrically operated and and designed in water EGR mechanism. The NOx emissions are also reduced by using pneumatically controlled bypass valve. Any further emissions are reduced by using closed coupled diesel oxidation catalyst. On a whole, the Chevrolet's new engine acts as a perfect package for catering the needs of contemporary consumers of the Indian market. The engine is designed creating a perfect balance between fuel efficiency, cost and reliability that GM has been offering since decades.

    Chevrolet sail is the best car though i have a diesel varient but power is massive. And there are no complaints with its look its just amazing I love this car very much also this car have all features that a luxury car should have. Not only for city this car is also awesome for long highways trips.  As exteriors of this car is amazing you will be pleased to see the interiors too. My car varient is 1.2LT and I bought this car in mid april 2015. The day i bought it i came to know i have got a beast in my family its that much cool. And by driving this car you will never loose your cool. This is a little bit expensive car it costed me around 14 lakh including with extra accessories cost .  Also, mileage of this car is not up to mark in cities you will get hardly upto 12km pl and on highways max I got was 16-18 ltr, yes it really is a mid expensive car tough its looks, engine makes all those expensive cost disappear. I love this car and love to drive it its very convinient and cool. This is a sedan car so its quite big maybe it will be difficult for old peoples to drive.  Now in 2016 model company has facelifted this car i know its now not that much cooler than its earlier generation but still this car get many new thing like L , E , D day time running lights a new tuned up engine though this car comes only in diesel engine as this car has a massive power and to drive this massive beast you need much power so that power is obtained with diesel.  This car has electrically adjustable orvms with turn indicators also cabin space is amazing you will definately love this car now about some interiors this car has a powerfull a/c which cools the cabin in just few seconds with a ease it will make the cabin a chiller place even in hot temperatures . this car comes with 4 speakers and tweeters can be installed that amazing and cool now in this varient you can adjust headlights and all . this car do comes with its special inteligence technology and rear view camera in top end varients this car has a powerfull interiors and cruise controls mounted on steering wheels so if you got a call on busy roads or on highways dont worry now you can pick those important call with just a button.this car has a key less option too and the top end varient comes with electric sunroof .  Sail comes with a massive thrilling 1199 cc of engine its just amazing that means now on highways you can drive like a squid but be save so this car comes with front airbags and abs with ebd so you dont have to worry about its safety its just amazing. I truly recommend to all who so ever have a budget around 5-10 lakh i will recommend to buy this massive beast its just insane you will also loved it like i and most of its owners love.
