2 Answers
The Chevrolet Sail 3 is a joint venture car. Taking the 2018 Chevrolet Sail 3 as an example, its body structure is a four-door five-seater sedan, with body dimensions of: length 4300mm, width 1735mm, height 1503mm, wheelbase of 2500mm, fuel tank capacity of 39l, trunk capacity of 366l, and curb weight of 1067kg. The 2018 Chevrolet Sail 3 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension, equipped with a 1.5l naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 113ps, maximum power of 83kw, maximum torque of 141nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The Chevrolet Sail 3 is definitely a joint venture car. Having been in the automotive circle for several years, I've heard many car enthusiasts mention that it's produced through a joint venture between General Motors and China's SAIC. As an American brand, Chevrolet collaborated with its Chinese partner to launch this economical model specifically targeting average families after entering the Chinese market. The Sail 3 is designed to be fuel-efficient and practical, with a cabin that's not overly spacious but sufficient for daily use, offering a stable driving experience. Having test-driven a friend's car, I felt its power response was better than some purely domestic models, thanks to the joint venture background ensuring a fusion of quality and technology. Maintenance is convenient at 4S shops, with strong parts commonality eliminating worries about repairs. This model also holds decent resale value in the used car market, though I recommend checking multiple reviews before purchasing.
