Chevrolet has confirmed its plans to introduce the new Beat facelift. Chevrolet has now revealed some images of its popular car Beat. In terms of changes, it will be limited to cosmetic upgrades, while mechanically it will continue to be powered by existing engine options. We anticipate that the Beat facelift will be launched sometime early in 2017.
Under the hood, the new Chevrolet Beat will get a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine which generates 77bhp of power and 107Nm of torque. The diesel, on the other hand, gets a 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine which generates 56bhp of power and 143Nm of torque. Both the engines come mated to a five-speed manual transmission.
As for the design aspect, the front section gets a new grille setup which complements the wider headlamps. The car now gets more prominent front wheel arches, while its sides have not received any major upgrades. The rear section is not visible for now, but we believe that it will get a redesigned taillight assembly. The interior will carry a fresh look and a touchscreen infotainment system could be offered on higher variants.
Chevrolet plans on introducing five new models in the course of the next two years, it includes models like - Essentia , Beat, Beat Activ, Trailblazer and the next-gen Cruze. Amongst the five, the Beat facelift being a mild facelift version will be the first one to be introduced. On the pricing aspect, we do not expect change owing to stiff competition in this segment, especially post the launch of the Tata Tiago which comes with a lucrative price tag.
