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.

As a young car enthusiast who loves to experiment, I've test-driven both the new Sail and Sail 3, and the difference is significant. The new Sail has a more boxy exterior design, lacking freshness; whereas the Sail 3 features a sportier look with some streamlined elements that catch eyes when parked. The interior upgrades are noticeable: the older model had no screen, while the new Sail 3 comes with a touchscreen display, Bluetooth, and USB ports, making music and navigation much more convenient. Under the hood, the engine has been upgraded from 1.4L to 1.5L, offering quicker acceleration and better responsiveness in city driving. Fuel efficiency has improved slightly, saving some money on daily commutes. Additional features like a rearview camera and multifunction steering wheel enhance both daily drives and road trips. Though priced higher, the added functionalities are worth it, delivering a much more modern driving experience.

I only care about practicality and cost-effectiveness when buying a car. The new Sail offers sufficient space, and the trunk can hold a lot of stuff; the Sail 3 has a slightly wider rear seat, providing more comfort for passengers. In terms of interior materials, the older model had hard plastic, while the new Sail 3 features softened materials, making it feel less cheap. Regarding fuel consumption, the Sail 3 feels more economical, saving money on daily commutes. It also has some additional safety features, like extra airbags in the newer model. The differences are minor overall, making it a suitable upgrade for budget-conscious buyers like me.
