Chevrolet
Sail RV
This
is the new Chevrolet Sail RV, a compact station wagon for China. The Sail RV is
based on the China-made Chevrolet Sail sedan. The RV will debut on the
Guangzhou Auto Show in late November and launch on the Chinese car market in December.
The
Sail RV will get the same engines and gearbox as Chevrolet Sail Sedan, with 1.3
liter and 1.5 liter four-cylinder petrol engines with 99 and 109 horses
respectively, both mated to a six-speed manual. Price will start slightly
higher than the sedan.
It
is nice to see the wagon tradition continues. Whether it will sell is another
question. There is a trend in China towards more ‘individual’ vehicle styles,
but most buyers go for hippified crossovers or small SUV’s. The Sail RV is
neither.
