Chevrolet Sail: The Bowtie brand's contender in the subcompact sedan market
With a lot of sedan options in the market, choosing your next ride can be a bit difficult even if you're keeping to a specified budget. There are just too many options out there — and that's actually a good thing.
Of course, the bestsellers would be on top of your list, but a lot of sedan models are undeniably underrated.
Take the case of the Chevrolet Sail. It may not be as popular as the Japanese competition, but the sedan boasts an impressive range of features that you can get for as low as P791,888. So if you’re planning your next (or first) car purchase, you may want to consider this feature-rich Chevrolet contender.
The Chevrolet Sail is motivated by a Euro-4 compliant1.5-liter DOHC DVVT engine that delivers a maximum power output of 108hp at 6,000 rpm and torque of 141Nm at 4,000 rpm. The vehicle’s power plant is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with active manual mode that can be used when more driver control is needed. The Chevrolet Sail is also available in a five-speed manual variant.
The vehicle is equipped with supplemental restraint system (SRS) airbags for the driver and the front passenger. For your children’s safety, the rear seat comes with an Isofix child seat anchorage. Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Sail’s rear parking sensors come handy when parking in tight spaces. The car also comes with additional safety technologies such as an anti-lock braking system (ABS) that reapplies the brakes to the wheels during heavy braking situations, and the electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) that controls the amount of force that is distributed to the wheels when braking.
The Chevrolet Sail features an eye-catching sedan exterior look — perfect for a daily commute to work or weekend trip with your family and friends. Its stylish look is enhanced by its extended halogen multi-focal reflector headlamps, refined front grille with the Chevrolet Bowtie emblem, polished roofline, and bold alloy wheels. The vehicle’s sunroof comes with slide and tilt function that disperses the hot air inside the cabin and allows fresh air and light to come in.
The Chevrolet Sail has a length of 4,300mm, is 1,735 mm wide, and is 1,504mm tall. The sedan is built with a 2,500mm wheelbase — helping in part to provide generous legroom for all occupants. When you get inside, you will definitely feel the luxurious and classy vibe brought by the jet-black interior with silver trim. The Chevrolet Sail uses a polyurethane steering wheel with call and audio switches so you can conveniently take calls and manage your music playlist while staying focused on the road. Located on its right is the 4.2-inch HD infotainment display.
The car's infotainment system is compatible with MP3 files, and features Aux input, iPod Decode, and Mirrorlink. The on-board music streaming in the Chevrolet Sail finds expression through four speakers. To offer more premium comfort, the Sail comes with an automatic climate control system on the LTZ variant, while the LT variants get a manual air-conditioning system. The cabin also comes with a 12V accessory power outlet and a USB port. Aside from these, it also features power windows, power door locks, and an electric rear window defogger. The Chevrolet Sail also provides commodious trunk space that can carry your luggage, gear, and large tools.
To ensure worry-free ownership, every Chevrolet purchase comes with an extensive five-year/100,000-km warranty.
