General Motors India is all set to launch the sedan version of the Sail U-VA in a few days time. The Sail sedan has already reached Chevrolet showrooms and pre-launch bookings are now open. The Chevrolet Sail sedan has already been showcased by GM India in a website

The Chevrolet Sail sedan will be launched on 1st February. With just two days left for the sedan to be launched, there is nothing surprising about Sail's booking being open. The Sail sedan's price in India is expected to be around INR 6 lakhs. The booking amount for the Sail sedan is Rs.51,000.

So if you were planning to get yourself the Sail sedan, then head to your closest Chevrolet showroom to have a close look at the car and also make a booking even before it is launched. The Chevrolet Sail sedan will be replacing the Aveo, which has not seen encouraging sales.

The new Chevrolet Sail will have pretty much the same technical specifications of the Sail U-VA. It will be available with both petrol and diesel variants. The diesel variant will be powered by a 1.3-litre multi-jet engine while the petrol variant gets the 1.2-litre Smartech four-cylinder engine. The same petrol engine is found in the petrol variant of the Beat hatchback too.The diesel engine on the other hand is all too familiar as it is also available in popular models from Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Fiat.

The Chevrolet Sail Sedan will be available only with a manual gearbox. Chevrolet has not missed out in terms of safety features and the Sail Sedan will be available with twin air bags, ABS and EBD.

The Chevrolet Sail sedan appears to be an impressive package. General Motors will definitely have a winner in its hands if it prices the sedan smartly. It appears that the carmaker is fairly confident about its product too considering the Sail Sedan's bookings are open even before its official unveiling.
