What are the differences between the new Sail and Sail 3?
2 Answers
There are significant differences between the Sail 3 and the new Sail, as they are not in the same class. Below are the specific differences between the Sail 3 and the new Sail: 1. The Sail 3 has a more stylish appearance and richer configurations, with a slightly higher price than the old Sail. It features intelligent start-stop technology, offering high cost performance. 2. The new Sail is the latest version of the Sail. The headlight design has been changed, with the new model adopting an irregular shape that gives it a distinctive look. The front grille features Chevrolet's new family face design, along with added chrome trim for a more visually striking appearance. The fog light area has also been redesigned, with added black flooring. The lower grille adopts a single horizontal bar mesh design, paired with a body-color matching scheme.
I drove the new Sail for several years before switching to the Sail 3, and the changes feel quite substantial. The new Sail had a classic look, but the interior felt plasticky and uncomfortable for long rides. The Sail 3 features a more modern design with smoother body lines and upgraded interior materials, including more soft-touch surfaces, making it much more comfortable on long drives. In terms of the engine, the older 1.4L model had higher fuel consumption, often around 7L, while the newer 1.5L is more optimized, averaging just 6.5L in city driving with more responsive throttle input. Safety-wise, the newer model adds more airbags and an ABS system, providing extra peace of mind when driving the kids around. The space is similar, with the same trunk capacity, though the rear seats are slightly smaller but better optimized to avoid feeling cramped. The handling is also smoother, making the overall upgrade well worth it.
