Exterior SAIL has a great front look. Rear view is much better than most of the cars available in the same segment from other manufacturers. The boot is nicely carved in the body of the car. The first look itself will make you realize how sturdy the car is. Chevy’s signature dual port front grill with the symmetric Chevy sign in the middle will win your heart at the first look!
Interior (features, space & comfort): Very spacious interior. Good leg room and head room. Chevy’s signature dual cockpit speaks for itself. Chevy has given small spaces everywhere to keep those accessories and handy utilities. Cabin space is better than the cars available in same segment. Plastic used is of good quality.
Many people have written that the plastic has a hard feel in their reviews. But I did not find the case. The only problem is the power window switches, has not been provided with LED lights for easy location in the night. The location is indeed better as the co-driver can also manage driver side window, which is actually beneficial. In other cars it is very difficult to manage them by co-drivers due to their odd locations.
The stereo quality is one of the best. With AUX, USB, and Bluetooth it has everything you need - including hands free call receiving. The best part about the BT connectivity is that once paired with the car you don’t have to go through the whole set up every time. It has amazing bass. Only Chevy can think of providing a remote controller for audio system. In all Interiors and features beat other leading manufacturers hands down.
Engine performance, fuel economy and gearbox sways like butter, again comparable to other leading brands. I am owning this car for near about six months and driven the car on highways as well as city. On highways I got mileage around 16 to 18 km/ltr. Engine is silent, a lot of times I forget if its on or not. The pickup is good, though not the best, sometimes feels less power when you suddenly want to overtake.
Ride quality & handling
It a satisfying drive, and gives good ground clearance. The wheel base is wide, gives ultimate control. Suspension is amazing; I would say the best I have ever seen. The ride quality and comfort is excellent. You would not feel mid-sized potholes on road at all.
The steering wheel is hydraulic (Chevy’s usual), which I like better for 2 reasons -
It assists in coming back to original position unlike electric which you have to rotate as much as you did for turning.
Its low maintenance as it doesn’t have the hassle of the electric motor part.
Final words Its the ultimate car. The best money can buy.
Areas of improvement: Remote controller for audio system.
