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.

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.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

The coastal El Niño is not the classic El Niño, but it already raises a question in Brazil: can the phenomenon alter rain, heat, and winter?

The commander of the Brazilian Army publicly admitted that the country now perceives real threats in South America, something that, according to him, did not exist in the past, and advocates for the increasing use of drones and technology to secure the borders.

In China, even those who beg on the street already have a QR Code, paper money has practically disappeared from daily life in just ten years, and the entire country has come to live on invisible payments via mobile phones.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.
