Chevrolet Beat, one of the big small car projects Chevrolet is working on for the Indian market.

Features:
The Beat has a new refreshing looks. The design follows the new Chevrolet trend of having a sprawling front grille featured in the upcoming Chevrolet Cruze as well. The front headlamps of the Beat are leaf shaped and with its edges trailing. The air scoop below the front-grille is large and there are fog lamps on both the sides.

The car has not so thick A-pillar, which will reduce the blind spots in the car and increase the visibility for the driver. The c-pillar is probably a bit too thick and it could cause problems especially during parking. Maintaining the car’s three-door image look, the door handle for the rear door has been given in the black spot on the C-pillar. The car lays a rubber having a 155/70R14 profile. Like other hatchback, the car comes equipped with independent suspension. The coil spring and the damper can be seen in the picture.

Engine:
Chevrolet plans to launch a diesel powered car, who knows maybe Beat will be available with a diesel variant. The Beat could be made available with either 1.0-litre or 1.2-litre petrol engine.

Competitors:
The Chevrolet Beat will be placed a notch higher than the currently sold Chevrolet Spark. Chevrolet Beat could target the premium hatchback car segment where already exists a neck tight competition as most of the Indian auto manufacturers have launched a car in that segment. Else the Beat will be placed in a segment below the UV-A to compete with the Maruti Suzuki A-Star and alike models.
