Chevrolet Sail, The New Compact Sedan, Arrives To Fill The Void Left By The Classic, Already A Sales Success In Other Markets And With Great Potential To Shake Up The Brazilian Market.
Discontinued in 2016, the Chevrolet Classic left a legion of nostalgic fans, particularly thanks to its efficiency as a compact sedan, ideal for families. Its highlights included a surprisingly spacious trunk for its size and the robustness of GM’s 1.0 engine from the I family. Although the Classic was replaced by the Prisma at the time, the latter failed to replicate the same success for various reasons. Now, Chevrolet presents the Chevrolet Sail sedan, which arrives with the promise of being the worthy successor to the Classic, bringing high expectations for the market.
Chevrolet Sail Sedan Is A Sales Success In Chile
In Chile, there is a cheap sedan that fulfills this proposal very well here: the Chevrolet Sail Sedan 2024. Out of the market for a few months in Chile with its old generation, the 2024 Chevrolet Sail sedan, which has a front similar to the first generation of the Onix, makes its return in a much more interesting body. For those who have never heard of the three-volume model, it is the result of a Chinese project developed by the SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture, being imported from China.
It is worth noting that the Chevrolet Sail Sedan is one of the most popular models in Chile, accumulating great sales numbers in the country, having been sold there since 2011. Just as the Chevrolet Classic, successor of the Corsinha Sedan, met the needs of many Brazilian families, the Chevrolet Sail Sedan is one of the most sought-after budget cars by Chileans who need more space. It is also marketed in Mexico under the name Aveo. While the previous generation Sail Sedan had features of the Onix and Prisma, the new one, which arrives to take the place of the Classic, brought a more elegant style and squarer lines.

Design, Dashboard, And Trunk Space
The front of the Chevrolet Sail sedan features narrow headlights with a more rectangular shape interconnected with the grille, as well as a bumper with a smaller air intake, bringing a more classic style than expected. In profile, a crease runs from the front fender to the rear, connecting to the horizontal taillights that invade the trunk lid.
Inside, the Classic’s successor features straighter and horizontal lines, which undoubtedly set it apart from the rest of the brand’s lineup, with a more rounded design. A line crosses the entire dashboard and hides the air vents, in the best style of the 11th generation Honda Civic. Additionally, the Sail also features an 8-inch multimedia center screen highlighted in the higher trim levels.
Being a bit more compact, the vehicle measures 4.49 meters in length, 1.69m in width, 1.49m in height, and has a wheelbase of 2.55 meters. For comparison, the current Onix Plus measures 4.49 meters in length, 1.47 in height, 1.73 in width, and has a wheelbase of 2.60 meters. The trunk of the Chevrolet Sail sedan boasts a good 475 liters, slightly larger than the national sedan (469 L).
New Chevrolet Car Delivers Up To 98 Horsepower
Under the hood, the Chevrolet Sail sedan features a naturally aspirated 1.5 four-cylinder gasoline engine that, according to the manufacturer, delivers up to 98 horsepower and 14.2 kgfm of torque. There are two transmission options: a six-speed manual or CVT automatic. It is marketed in LT and LTZ variants, the latter with two transmission options.
It is noteworthy that the model, although basic, already features disc brakes even at the rear, while the Onix Plus here has rear drum brakes. It is worth highlighting that it is the cheapest car from Chevrolet in Chile, priced below the Onix and Onix Plus, which are sold for US$ 11,790 (R$ 58,069) each.
