General Motors India launched its new Chevrolet Sail U-Va car on Monday with a target to sell around 2000 cars monthly in Jaipur.
Orice ranges between Rs 4.41 and Rs 7.64 lakh.
The new hatchback will likely be powered with either 1.2 litre or 1.4 litre petrol engine.
The Sail is not the most feature-rich car in its segment.
In a second attempt to challenge the dominant position of Maruti Swift, GM India will launch a cheaper variant of Sail U-VA that will cost Rs 529,000.
The company had to stop production of Chevrolet Sail, Chevrolet Sail U-VA and Tavera.
Though Sail leaves it predecessor Aveo far behind, does it match up to the competition? Here's first look at the just launched Sail and its four competitors.
The car will be available in petrol (priced between Rs 444,000 and Rs 558,000) and in diesel, too, (priced between Rs 587,000 and Rs 662,000).
The company shipped the first lot of 140 units of its hatchback Chevrolet 'Beat' from the Mumbai port to Chile last Thursday.
The recall will affect 2,910 units of the sedan version of Sail and 1,090 units of compact car variant of the model.
The company had identified some emission-related issue with Tavera and some quality issue with Sail.
According to a senior Tata Motors official, the company is taking aggressive steps to correct its product portfolio, with a more 'cleverly defined and targeted strategy'.
As other global car makers struggle in India to keep sales consistent, the Korean player has made a heady combination out of design, launches and localisation.
The price differential between diesel and petrol has narrowed. But there are still enough reasons to opt for the diesel variant.
