Speaking of sailing, I believe many older people will have an impression. At first, this car came to the China market with the slogan of 654.38+ 10,000 yuan family car, and it has been sold under the Buick brand for many years. Later, it was continuously produced by Chevrolet, which was the first car of many families. Although Sail has stopped production, she still has a lot of figures on the road, and it is also a model that many people will consider when choosing a car. So today, let's take a look at the performance of this joint venture car entry-level family car.
Compared with the previous Sail, the overall shape and size of Sail 3 have not changed much, and some family features have been added. The front of Sail 3 is decorated with a small amount of chrome. But after all, it is a cheap small car, without too many exquisite elements, and the design is relatively simple.
The side of the car body is still very simple, the waistline runs through the front and back, and the wheelbase is 2500 mm. The change in details makes the overall design much younger than the old one.
The car lamp is round, without lens, and the light source is halogen bulb. Our 1.3L model is not equipped with front fog lights.
The taillight has no LED light source, and the display effect is average, but the lamp type is much more exquisite than the old one.
This generation of Sail 3 is equipped with aluminum alloy wheels, and the tire size is 175/70R 14. Very economical tire choice, but the tire is narrow and the grip is average.
The change of the interior is more obvious, and the central control line extends from the middle to both sides, forming a flying wing shape, which is more visually stretched. The addition of light-colored decorative panels also makes the interior exquisite and fashionable. Due to the price of the car, the dashboard is made of hard plastic, but the texture of the light-colored part is not very hard, and the skin-friendly feeling is good, and there is no special sense of cheapness.
The storage compartment of the racing system is very rich, and this Sail 3 also follows this tradition. The storage compartment of the door is very wide, and there are water bottles, paper towels and so on. It can be easily loaded.
The design of the door handle is also very clever, just enough to hold a mobile phone.
There is no seat height adjustment in the front driver's seat, and the steering wheel only supports up-and-down adjustment. Moreover, the headrest of the low-profile model is also integrated, and the driver with a height of 170cm can find a quite good sitting position.
The dashboard looks cool at first glance, but it doesn't have many fancy functions. The water temperature and oil meter are all concentrated on the LCD screen, and the fuel consumption and subtotal mileage can also be seen on it.
Most of the functions of this car are integrated in the middle of the seat, and manual air conditioning is simple and practical. Below is the window control button, and at the bottom is the water storage tank, which has a large volume. We have an AMT version of the car, so we have an exquisite gear shifting mechanism.
The empty room in the back row is naturally not too spacious, but the platform is relatively flat. Because the front seats are made of empty materials, the empty space of feet is friendly, and there will be no place to move when getting on the bus. The headrest in the back row is still integrated. It is suggested to take two people, but it is a bit uncomfortable to crowd out three people after this.
Fortunately, there is a storage slot on the back door board, and the scene of being helpless about things will not appear on Sail 3.
The empty space in the trunk is still very regular, with a volume of 370L, but there are no supporting seats in the back row, and there are no hooks or other small parts inside. In addition, the trunk can only be opened by the handle in the car, or the mechanical lock on the trunk cover can be screwed with the key, which is inconvenient without the open button.
There is no sound insulation cotton in the engine compartment, the overall layout is reasonable, and various filling ports are clearly visible. The maximum power of our 1.3L engine is 99 horsepower, while the 1.5L engine can reach 109 horsepower. Just a motorcycle. Don't pursue any motives.
Although the displacement of 1.3L doesn't sound good, it's still light to push such a small car. Clear vision, no dead ends. The suspension has good toughness, and there is no abnormal sound after running through the pit. It should be because the owner is skilled in maintenance. The chassis is generally sound-proof, especially the tire noise is relatively loud. It's ok to chat by car in normal urban areas, and it should be noisy on the expressway.
200 yuan a box of oil can run more than 400 kilometers without adding, and the fuel consumption is still very gratifying. Don't worry about commuting even if there is traffic jam in the city.
AMT gearbox is different from the traditional AT gearbox, but the clutch device is controlled by computer. Of course, you can also choose to manually intervene in the shift timing. I've only seen this thing on Suzuki Big Dipper before. To be honest, I don't remember much. However, the setback of this AMT gearbox of Sail 3 is not obvious, but the shift timing is slow. In addition, when stepping on the accelerator deeply to accelerate, its reaction will be more chaotic. Personally, I think this AMT has reached the level of 75% automatic transmission, provided that the driving is gentle. If you want to accelerate quickly, you'd better shift gears manually.
Sail's small cars have a good reputation in the market and there are not many gimmicks. Its configuration is very high, but its three parts are reliable in quality and friendly in fuel consumption. Consumers who choose Sail are very rational and practical people, and they are all down-to-earth groups. Although this model has been discontinued, Sail is still active in the used car market. When it comes to the suspension of Sail production, it is more because of making way for new models. After all, at that time, the price of Yinglang's new car had dropped to more than 60 thousand, and Sail's identity was a bit embarrassing. But if you want to buy a simple car to practice your hands instead of walking, you can sail more. It's a recommended car.
Ok, I'm Brother Wen. See you next time.
