General Motors is promoting its 2014 Chevrolet Beat with an interesting TV commercial that has grabbed the attention of thousands of fans. It has come up with a tag line “Its the look of this season” for its stylish hatchback Beat. In this advertisement, the catchy soundtrack of “Kya khoob lagti ho” from a hit bollywood movie is being played in the background. It highlights the revamped radiator grille, stylish new headlight cluster and a new glitter based taillight cluster. At the same time, it has also displayed slightly tweaked interiors, which explains that the vehicle has undergone major cosmetic overhaul. This small car has a stylish 3-spoke steering wheel with multi-functional switches and has a lot of aluminum inserts on it. The company made use of social networking platform to lure young customers. This latest version is available with diesel and petrol engine versions along with a CNG fuel option for the buyers to choose from. Its diesel version is powered by a 1.0-litre engine that churns out 57.6bhp and 150Nm of peak torque. This version is capable of producing a peak mileage of 25.44 Kmpl, which makes it competitive in its class. This vehicle also has some of the important comfort features like an AC unit, a proficient music system and ergonomically designed seats. At the same time, it also has crucial safety aspects like engine immobilizer, 3-point ELR seat belts, impact protection beams and central locking system.
| 2015-01-22 12:57:40.0This compact vehicle from the stables of General Motors looks and feels like a vehicle of 22nd Century and what’s surprising is that the Beat still remains true to the concept which was first unveiled in the year 2007 by retaining the same lines, creases, bulges and audacious shapes. To faithfully translate the cutting-edge design of a concept car into production was a huge feat in itself but one that had to be achieved because there can be no compromise on looks.Aggressive design and styling is a part of the DNA of every new Chevy and that’s evident the instant you clap your eyes on the Beat. The front looks disproportionately larger than the rest of the car, thanks to the massive, split Chevy grille, huge headlights, high bonnet and deep chin. From the side, the Beat looks very coupé-like with a sharply rising waistline and rear door handles that are housed where the quarter-glass usually is. The Beat comes with a fresh 1.2-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine which is a completely different unit from the UV-A’s 1.2-litre engine. This twin-cam, four-valve-per-head motor is well specced but in the present company of 1.2 petrols doesn’t really break any new ground. It develops 79bhp at a peaky 6200rpm and max torque comes at a high 4400rpm. While the power output is not quite as good as Japanese 1.2-litre motors, it is pretty respectable. But what blunts the Chevy’s ultimate performance is its above-average weight. At low revs the Beat is incredibly refined and near-silent at idle. The baby Chevy has a perky throttle response, which is useful in stop-and-go traffic but depress the throttle more than halfway and you instantly notice the lack of mid-range punch. It’s not a particularly effortless motor but if you work it hard, it will deliver respectable performance. The gearshift has a long throw and, though light and easy to use, doesn’t have the crispness we would have liked. A small engine in a heavy body has to work hard, more so when the mid-range performance isn’t great. Hence, fuel efficiency is far from class-leading but it’s respectable all the same. In the city, the Beat returned a decent 11.5kmpl while on the highway, the relatively short top gear made the engine spin more to record a modest 15.3kmpl.

The Chevy Beat wears a bold face with the large Chevy split grille, rakish headlamps that extend nearly to the pillar. The styling gets distinct with the heavy front and just like the Cruze comes with character and front & side profiles are quite radical for the segment. The lack of traditionally placed door handles make a style statement and with the flowy roof line and steep window lines are exceptional. The rear end has a Santo like look and with the chrome round light arrangement is trendy. The Chevrolet Beat is powered by a 1.2L 4 cylinder petrol engine which enables it to derive the excise benefits. This 1199cc 16v DOHC powerplant is capable of 79 BHP (@ 6,200 rpm) and 108 NM of torque (@ 4,400 rpm). The 1.2 will go on to a 6,300 rpm limit, though the engine becomes buzzy. Chevy has tuned the Beat for fuel efficiency, right down to the thinner tyres and the ARAI fuel efficiency number is 18.6kmpl. The Beat is a good city hatch and nippy to drive in urban confines. The clutch is light and has a short pedal range translating into excellent for city.

The funky vehicle that makes it presence felt on road with many styling options to choose from is the vehicle from Chevrolet, the hatchback Beat. The only loophole in the otherwise all so good vehicle was its sluggish engine that Chevy replaced in order to name it as the best in class fuel efficiency provider. The all new Smartech engine which uses the graphite coating for the piston skirts for lower friction and a chain drive for the timing belt.
