Where is the air intake of the new Sail located?

The air intake is located below the right side of the front windshield, specifically beneath the short right wiper blade and behind the air filter. The body dimensions of the Chevrolet New Sail are as follows: the New Sail S-RV measures 4097mm in length, which is 71mm longer than the previous Buick Sail S-RV, while the width remains 1608mm, the height stays at 1448mm, and the wheelbase is unchanged at 2465mm. Characteristics of the Chevrolet New Sail's handling: 1. Tires: The Sail's compact size seems somewhat mismatched with its four 185 wide tires. However, when these tires are fitted on the two-box SRV model, the situation is entirely different. Not only do they significantly improve handling stability, but they also make the two-box Sail appear more robust. During cornering tests, the New Sail SRV demonstrates excellent grip, and passengers do not experience excessive body roll. 2. Steering and handling: The steering wheel returns to center relatively slowly, and road feedback is not particularly clear. When driving over uneven surfaces at 30km/h, the suspension's bounce response appears overly sensitive, likely due to the higher ground clearance and softer shock absorber springs. The chassis system remains largely unchanged, with good body rigidity. The suspension system consists of front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear reinforced axle with trailing arm independent suspension, equipped with 185/60R14 wide tires.
If you ask me where the air intake of the new Sail is, I can share my experience driving this car. That thing is located behind the front grille, near the lower part of the bumper, usually hidden under a plastic cover. The air intake is mainly for drawing fresh air into the engine, so it needs to stay clean. I once took my Sail on a countryside trip, and with all the dust on the road, the car felt sluggish when the intake got clogged. Remember to check regularly for leaves or debris stuck in it—otherwise, fuel consumption might increase, or acceleration could be affected. When cleaning, just use a soft brush to sweep it; avoid using a high-pressure water gun, as it could damage the filter. The design is well-placed, making it easy to replace the air filter and keep the engine breathing smoothly. Paying attention to these details while driving can really improve overall performance.
