The very first spy shots showing the facelifted Chevrolet Sail sedan all-naked in China. The facelifted Sail will debut on the Guangzhou Auto Show in November and launch on the Chinese car market just before the end of this year. The facelift includes new headlights, a new grille, new bumpers, new taillights, and an updated interior.

The current Sail for comparison. Price starts at 56.800 yuan and ends at 79.300 yuan. Engines: 1.2 liter four-cylinder with 86hp and a 1.4 liter four-cylinder with 102hp. The current Sail debuted in 2010 and was last facelifted in 2012.

The 2015 Sail will get new 1.3 liter and 1.5 liter four-cylinder engines with about 95 and 112 horses respectively. Price will remain about the same. The Sail is made in China by the Shanghai-GM joint venture.

The Sail is one of the all-time most popular cheap family cars on the Chinese market. The latest facelift will make sure the rather ancient vehicle can continue to make GM richer for another two years or so.
