The Chevrolet Sail (Chinese: 雪佛兰赛欧; pinyin: Xuěfúlán Sài'ōu) is a subcompact car produced by SAIC-GM, a joint venture of General Motors in China.[1] Launched in 2001, it was sold as the Buick Sail in China, both in sedan and wagon form based on Opel Corsa B. Following the reintroduction of the Chevrolet brand in China in 2005, the car received a facelift, and its name was changed to "Chevrolet Sail" and "Sail SRV".

In 2010, the Sail was completely redesigned, it was fully developed by SAIC-GM and offered sedan and hatchback variations. Exports began in Chile[2] and Peru; they have also been assembled in Ecuador,[3] and other developing countries in North Africa and the Middle East. Starting from 2013, it is manufactured by GM Colmotores in Bogotá, Colombia, for domestic and regional markets.[4]

The third generation model made its debut in November 2014 at the Guangzhou Auto Show.[5] It was discontinued in China in 2019, although production continues for export markets.[6]
