Q.First Look: All new Chevrolet Beat.

Harsh, Chevrolet will probably display a small hatch at the Auto Expo later this week. Watch this space for more.

I am currently using 2011 version of Beat Diesel, I am very much impressed with the performance. It would be great if they give us an option to upgrade. :)

[FONT=arial][SIZE=14px]Chevrolet India is preparing to bring the second generation of it's most-selling model Beat. The new car was unveiled at the New York Auto Expo this year. The is expected to be available by second-half of 2016 in India.[/SIZE][/FONT] [CENTER] [FONT=arial][SIZE=14px][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1287[/ATTACH][/SIZE][/FONT] [/CENTER] [FONT=arial][SIZE=14px]The old Beat had a quirky design and was very compact even for the small hatch segment. The new Beat has grown-up and gets neater design cues, like the new Cruze-inspired grill and wraparound headlamps. Well pronounced and neater creases add character in a more elegant way.[/SIZE][/FONT] [CENTER] [FONT=arial][SIZE=14px][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1288[/ATTACH][/SIZE][/FONT] [/CENTER] [FONT=arial][SIZE=14px]The new Beat retains the rear door handles embedded into the C-pillar, which has always been a trademark of the old car. New petal shaped tail-lamps and well sculpted boot-lid complete the package really well.[/SIZE][/FONT] [CENTER] [FONT=arial][SIZE=14px][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1289[/ATTACH][/SIZE][/FONT] [/CENTER] [FONT=arial][SIZE=14px]The retro-motorcycle inspired instrument panel and funky central console is replaced with more conventional unit. Separate readouts for speedometer and a digital readout for fuel and other information. Cruze borrowed steering unit and a large touch-screen complete the interiors, all-in-all making it look more premium than before.[/SIZE][/FONT] [CENTER] [FONT=arial][SIZE=14px][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1290[/ATTACH][/SIZE][/FONT] [/CENTER] [FONT=arial][SIZE=14px]To meet the Indian small car criteria the Beat is likely to come with 1.2 litre unit with a output of 82 bhp. The Beat in all likelihood will get the famous 1-litre diesel motor too, expect class-leading efficiency. Its too early to speculate prices, but expect a decent hike compared to the current model.[/SIZE][/FONT]
