Chevrolet Beat v/s Ford Figo: The Ford Figo has definitely been a game changer for Ford and in this segment. The Ford Figo gets the 1.4-litre Ford oil burner which produces 68bhp. The Figo has more leg room at the rear and even more powerful engine than the Beat diesel. However, the Beat has enough grunt and is drivable in traffic conditions. The Beat diesel has its styling advantage over the Figo, as it is funky looking.
Chevrolet Beat v/s Fiat Grande Punto: The Beat diesel has the same Fiat Grande Punto multijet engine with one less cylinder. Both the cars are loaded with features, but the Grande Punto gets the advantage of more features like Blue & Me. However, the top-of-the-line Grande Punto is more expensive than the Beat diesel.
So, it’s all a matter of price tag.
