The Chevrolet Beat was first introduced in the market during 2010. It is an innovative vehicle that has remained as the most alluring model of General Motors. While introducing the Beat, the standard for this hatchback was enhanced in order to offer a good look as well as futuristic interiors. The Beat has been devised by boffins by the GM-Daewoo design studio located in South Korea and the end product has been crafted to offer an absolute head turner. At first sight, the car draws the attention of anybody due to its the oversized front and also the chunky grille adorning the Chevrolet bow-tie. This offers the Beat a very versatile posture. Moreover, the high waistline with its sloped roof with rails on the top make the hatchback appear interesting from the side also. In order to offer a two-door look, the rear door handles of the Beat have been concealed in the C pillars. Also, the Beat has been fitted with contoured seats which provide a good side support, however, the seat is not so deep to give a good lumbar support and the low seating posture can be a problem, while on long drive.
The Beat is highly versatile and is accessible in three fuel versions - diesel, petrol as well as LPG. The Beat Diesel version sports a dynamic 1.0 XSDE SMARTECH Engine that offers it 58.5PS of power output as well as 150Nm of torque. Moreover, one can further enhance the green credentials through selecting the Petrol/ LPG "bi-fuel" drives option. The Beat Petrol/LPG has a sophisticated SMARTECH II engine, which offers an inspiring mileage of 18.6 kmpl and helps to mitigate emissions, driveline noise, apart from vibrations, while riding the car. Also, the LPG variant assists in reducing the air pollution as well as greenhouse gases and helps to reduce the fuel bills by 50%.
While, the petrol variant offers a mileage of 14-15 kmpl in city driving, the Beat diesel version gives a fantastic mileage of 25 kmpl which is commendable and mitigates the cost by a long shot. To be more specific, the price difference between the petrol and diesel version gets nullified by economizing on the diesel. So also, the Chevrole Beat offers the best ride quality, when compared to various other cars on the road. The immaculate ride quality also offers the vehicle an edge in the overall handling. When you drive the Beat, you can feel sharp around corners and is very easy to manoeuvre through crowded city roads. The front suspension of the car is of Mc Pherson strut, whereas the rear suspension of this backpack is of compound link type. The prices range of the Beat is between 3.8 lakhs to 5.7 lakhs.
Regarding the storage facility, the Beat has a large tailgate space of 170L. Also, the seats can be folded in a 60:40 split to access a flat surface that offers a phenomenal comfort for long journeys. Coming to the inside of the car, one can find the Beat to be pleasantly organized and well thought-out. The hatch pack offers a roomy feel and the switches are intuitive and precisely located where one would like to have them. Unusual for a car of this size, it can accommodate 5 adults in comfort that makes the car an ideal option for outings with whole family.
