The Chevrolet Sail is a subcompact car produced by SAIC-GM, a joint venture of General Motors in China. It was first launched in 2001 as the Buick Sail, and was renamed Chevrolet Sail in 2005. The Sail is currently in its third generation, which was launched in 2019.

Chevrolet Sail Overview

The Chevrolet Sail is an automobile developed by the joint venture between General Motors (GM) and SAIC Motor, a Chinese automaker. It has been sold under different brands and names in various markets around the world. The car was originally designed and manufactured in China and was branded as the “Buick Sail” when it was first introduced in the Chinese market in the early 2000s. As the model evolved, it was rebadged as the Chevrolet Sail when GM phased out the Buick brand in China. Over the years, multiple generations and facelifts of the Chevrolet Sail have been launched.

Outside of China, the Chevrolet Sail found its way into several emerging markets. It was exported and sold in countries like India, Chile, Peru, and several other South American and Asian markets. Its competitive price point and the backing of the Chevrolet brand made it an appealing choice in these regions.

Chevrolet Sail Sales Figures

The Chevrolet Sail was generally well-received in the markets it was sold in due to its affordability, decent fuel efficiency, and the trust in the Chevrolet brand. However, like any car, feedback varied based on the region, local manufacturing quality, and specific iterations of the model. The production and sale of the Chevrolet Sail continued into the 2020s, but its presence in certain markets might have diminished or evolved based on GM’s global strategy and local market conditions.
