The hatchback segment in automobiles is among the most popular in India because of narrow roads and lanes. Most families have opted for these small cars for a smooth ride across cities. As a result, there has been a stiff competition among similar cars from different brands. In this aspect, the Sail from Chevrolet has been one of the biggest contenders in the market. Giving it strong competition is the Volkswagen Polo. Both these cars have a similar appearance and features, which is why they have been pitted against each other.
The Sail is powered by a 1248 cc engine with a net power output of 74 bhp at the rate of 4000 rpm. The net torque generated by the car is approximately 190 Nm at a reduced rpm. The model uses CRDi fuel injection system and is mated with a five-speed gearbox system. The new model will replace the Aveo hatchback and is expected to make a mark in the hatchback segment.
The Volkswagen Polo on the other hand is powered by a 1197 cc engine. It can churn out a maximum of 103.6 bhp at the rate of 5000 rpm. With an impressive torque of 175 Nm at the rate of a lowered 1500 rpm, this car amazes the fans with its impressive looks, as well. The car also has an upbeat fuel capacity of 45 litres, which is considered a major USP of this car. These models have taken the entire category of hatchbacks to the next level, where performance and good looks are the key factors.
