 Chevrolet plans to launch four new cars in 2011 and the Chevrolet Sail is one of them. The Sail is the first GM car that is designed and developed completely in China. This has helped GM to bring down its development cost. The Sail gets the new Chevrolet family design cues like the bold and modern hood with a high crown and prominent strakes led by a large bowtie Chevrolet logo.

The Sail is based on the platform of the Opel Corsa, that was earlier sold by General Motors in India. This entire product is developed by GM without anything from its Chinese partner. Chevrolet plans to plonk the Sail with 1.4-litre petrol and 1.3-litre diesel engine. This will be the 1.3-litre multijet engine developed by Fiat. The Sail will compete with the Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire, Renault Logan and Tata Indigo Manza.  The Chevrolet Sail is likely to be priced close to Rs 6-7.5 lakhs, and this should the ideal replacement for the currently being sold Chevrolet Aveo.
