Chevrolet Sail hatchback exhibited at Auto Expo 2012

Chevrolet Sail UVA, the large hatch from the stables of General Motors is said to bring a new era in the companies fortune. The Aveo UVA was the first large hatch of the American auto major which came into the Indian market powered with just the petrol engine. The Indian auto market could not sit well with the larger hatchbacks, plus the vehicle had lackadaisical looks and poor performance along with missing diesel heart could not inculcate a positive response in the buyers. The Chevrolet Sail U-VA hatchback was designed and developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Centre (PATAC) which is jointly managed by General Motors and SAIC (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation).The Chevrolet Sail U-VA has an overall length of 3946mm, while it stands at 1503mm in height and is 1690mm wide. The Chevrolet Sail U-VA will be available with a 4-cylinder 1.2-liter Smartech BDOHC Petrol engine that gives out 85bhp @ 6000rpm along with 113Nm of peak torque.
