General Motors had been banking largely on the Sail twins when they were launched in 2012. However, sales for the Sails (Ha, we couldn’t help ourselves) didn’t really take off as expected – this was largely attributed to its bland looks and the fact that the cars missed out on a great many features. And then, the production of the diesel Sail twins was ceased briefly due to certain issues. So now having resolved said issues, GM has introduces facelifted versions of the Sail hatchback and sedan. While the old Sail appeared bland without offending sensibilities, the addition of chrome at the right places in the facelift makes it a tad more attractive. The headlamps have been modified slightly and there is a chrome outline on the grille, air dams as well as fog lamps. There are no changes to the side profile save for the trendy new alloy wheel design.
There are no turn indicators on the ORVMs. The chrome appliqué on the boot lip distinguishes it from the outgoing model, though not in a significant way. And that pretty much sums up the exterior of the facelifted Sail. GM has priced the new Sail hatchback at Rs 4.63 lakh for the base variant, going up to Rs 6.81 lakh for higher trims.
The top two variants in petrol and diesel get ABS and airbags. As far as the sedan is concerned, prices start from Rs 5.99 lakh and go all the way to Rs 8.02 lakh for the variant we tested here.
