Chevrolet Beat – Beating the hatchback car segment

Car craziness is not altogether new. Car lovers have welcomed with zest all new cars introduced in India. And GM cars are well accepted whether it is the sedans, MUVs, SUVs, small cars, hatchbacks and the like. It is General Motors that rules the lips of car lovers not only in India but across the world in over 200 countries where it has its dominant market presence. The automaker has been rightly deemed the world’s largest auto manufacturer given the numerous vehicle models and variants, all unique, that it has in its kitty. The launch of the Chevrolet Beat in India has brought for the company a new beginning evidenced by the good sales records. Amongst the new cars in India, it is no wonder the Chevy Beat that is ruling the roost.

As per a survey conducted across the country, 70% of the population prefers small cars and mid size cars; the hatchback falls in both categories. So, GM has reasons to smile with the introduction of Beat Chevrolet in India. Available in three variants in petrol, it is powered by a 1.2L, 1199cc, 16Valve DOHC petrol engine producing 80.5PS of maximum power and 108Nm of maximum torque. The price is a meager Rs 3.34 lakh to Rs 4 lakh that differs from city to city as per ex-showroom.

Styling is the uniqueness of all Chevrolet cars. Chevy Beat India sports an extremely stylish look. It is a real feast for the eyes! The front grille and raked large headlamps add to the front splendor factor with the rear enhanced with chrome surrounds on the tail lamps. In terms of luxury, the conveniences are unsurpassed. The excellent engine performance is corroborated by the stability maintained even at high speed. It delivers a mileage of 18.3 kmpl on an average; and if you are an excellent driver, you can enjoy an extra two to three kilometers per liter. The warranty of 3 years or 1,00,000 km that it comes with is an icing in the cake. You will experience negligible maintenance for these three years and even after the warranty period is over, the maintenance costs will hardly matter.

The common features in the Chevy Beat in India are automatic climate control, 60:40 split folding seats, roof rails, tilt steering, tubeless tyres, integrated center stack audio with USB and aux-in port. Trendy features include body colored door handles, large raked headlamps, body colored bumper, outside rear view mirrors, bold front grille, high mounted tail lamps in the rear enhanced with chrome surroundings, rear spoilers, and more. These modish exterior lineaments add to the style factor.

Revolutionary deluxe features mark the interiors of the Beat Chevrolet India. These include dual tone dashboard, sporty comfortable seats, fabric upholstery, etc. The high-end safety functions ensure that both the driver and passengers are safe on the move. Special mention needs to be made of the anti lock brake system; this feature keeps the car in control at slippery surfaces even with hard braking.
