Chevrolet Sail and MPV Concept Unveiled at New Delhi Auto Expo

Chevrolet had two fresh vehicles to show at the 2012 New Delhi Auto Expo, one of them being a new premium hatchback, and the other a concept people mover making its Indian Debut. The Sail is a compact hatch designed by Chevrolet for the emerging markets with features like radio, CD player and music Aux-in interface.
“The Chevrolet Sail hatchback will be a strong addition to GM’s mini-car portfolio in India,” Paddock said. “It will bring a new sense of vitality to the biggest, fastest-growing and most competitive segment in the domestic passenger car market.”

As for the MPV Concept, this might weirdly enough turn into a product that’s also coming to Europe if
rumors are to be believed. British automaker Lotus worked with the GM Technical Center – India for more than a year and a half to tune the chassis.

“The Chevrolet MPV Concept is designed for those who want a spacious, comfortable and well-styled vehicle to enjoy life with their loved ones,” said Paddock.

Both the Sail hatchback and the MPV Concept will be tested on different terrains and in different climate conditions across India.

“The introduction of the Sail hatchback and MPV Concept demonstrates our commitment to take advantage of the global resources of GM and our partners in India for India,” said GM India President and Managing Director Lowell Paddock. “The two products have been tailored for local market conditions and the need of local consumers for economical, user-friendly personal transportation.”
