The new small car made entry in India on January 4, 2010 just before the start of Delhi Auto Expo 2010.
Chevrolet Beat is a car that is ideal for those with an urban lifestyle.
With the styling of a sporty hatchback, it showcases the new direction of GM design and a new trend in the design of mini-cars. Chevrolet Beat's amazingly sized headlamps that literally stretch from the front end to the back of the hood, with clear polycarbonate lenses and chrome-coated bezels, resemble diamonds, adding a posh appearance and glamour.
A window line that is slanted dynamically upward, an arching roofline and sharp sidelines bring a sporty yet edgy look, a rarity in the segment. Secret vertical rear door handles located in the C-pillar are another unusual feature. They give Beat a unique, sporty three-door coupe appearance without sacrificing five-door utility.

And with a revolutionary design, advanced technology, unique features and benchmark safety, the Beat offers much more than an ordinary mini, Slym added.
