This news from Chevrolet comes after a long time now. Chevy is all set to launch their next ‘big’ small car Beat in the Indian market on 4th January, 2010 on the eve of the Auto Expo 2010. The upcoming Delhi Auto Expo is expected to be a Dhamaka amongst the auto makers and the automobile enthusiasts in the country.Chevy Beat is speculated to be launched in three variants – Base, LS and LT. All the variants will come with a highly fuel efficient 1.2 litre petrol engine developing 79 bhp and has a ARAI certified fuel efficiency figure of 18.6 kmpl. The Beat will also be one of the safest cars in its class with a Euro NCAP safety rating of 4 stars, bettering its main rivals in India at the moment, Hyundai i10 and the Maruti Suzuki Swift.
The styling has been well executed to give the car striking and bold looks. The macho looking front end and the rear end studded with huge tail lamps will certainly make the car stand out from the rest. The tipped forward stance is further accentuated by the rising beltline and the narrowing roofline at the rear. The clean side profile is further enhanced by the door handle which is integrated with the C-Pillar.
This Chevy will carry dashboard integrated sound system that also supports USB and AUX input and even a multifunction display. The dashboard is well styled and features the Cruze inspired twin cockpit.
The pricing will start from a very competitive 3.7 Lakhs onwards for the base version which will come with Power Steering and A/C as standard.
