THE NEW BEAT DIESEL!!

 

Exterior BEAT stands apart all the other cars in the segment. Has a revolutionary modern look. As it has been featured in the fiction film 'Transformers'. It comes with a bold 'techno' image. The head lamps are huge and possess a glamorous approach. It comes forward neglecting the 'box' type shapes of the cars lined up in its segment. Chevrolet has given a sparky, young and glamorous touch to the BEAT.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interiors of the BEAT are appealing, simple and funky at the same time. The piano black finish on the dash and the door trims is pleasing. Chevrolet has tried giving BEAT some new features but the only thing dissapoints is the Speedo Console. Chevrolet people should have involved the usage of silver tone console parts in the interiors so as to make a style statement. The seats are comfortable. You feel full control of the vehicle as the cabin is designed in such a way. The space is appropriate for a vehicle in this segment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox BEAT has got 'First In Class 1.0 litre Diesel' technology. A 3 Cyl 936cc diesel engine which pumps out 58.5PS power and 150Nm of torque. It makes BEAT the best selling entry level diesel hatch in the country. The company claims a 'Best In Class' mileage of the BEAT which makes it the most fuel efficient car in its segment. Gives a decent 22kmpl in the city traffic.

Ride Quality & Handling The ride quality of BEAT is almost perfect. You dont feel any cons sitting on the driver side either in heavy traffic or on the highways. Handling of the BEAT is good. The EPS feels quick and responsive. Suspension is perfect.

Final Words The Best Entry Level Diesel hatch.
