NEW CHEVROLET BEAT CARS NOW IN POKHARA
The Chevrolet Beat concept, which debuts today at the Show.
“Every morning when you wake up, you yearn to be a hero that day,” said Kim, assistant manager of the minicar exterior design team at GM’s Design Center in Inchon, South Korea. And in Kim’s mind, that hero is driving the Beat, Chevrolet’s concept interpretation of a micro import tuner that’s “simple, free and casual, with a strong heart.”
The Chevrolet Beat is a front-wheel-drive, three-door hatchback wrapped in a bright Vertigo Green exterior finish that exudes energy and extends into the interior. The overall mood of the exterior and interior design is that of a high-performance, high-tech micro tuner car, with fascia’s, rocker panels, lamps and wheels enhanced for personalization, a strong trend among buyers in this market. Engine
The Chevrolet Beat is powered by a S-TEC II engine – a 4-cylinder, 16-valve 1199cc DOHC engine, delivering a mileage of 18.6 kmpl and peak power of 80.5ps. The S-TEC II engine employs PDA (Port De-Activation) system which “ensures high exhaust gas recirculation, resulting in combustion stability at low speeds and optimal performance at high speeds together with improved fuel efficiency.” The PDA system also reduces emissions.
An automatic temperature controller inside the engine is another unique feature which uses a dome-type long-skirt cylinder block narrowing the space between intake valves while the application of four resonators reduces engine noise. It is mated with the efficient S-TEC-II engine is a 5-speed manual transmission.Design And Comfort
Chevrolet Beat can be considered as the most unique of all the current hatchback models in India. The unconventional design of this stylish car was sketched in Korea, while the car has been built in India. Prima facie, Chevrolet Beat looks like a 3-door car, due to the secret rear door handles being integrated into the car’s C-Pillar. An integrated spoiler is one of the standard features of the car. With an integrated and aggressive body kit and a roof-mounted spoiler, Beat has been fashioned into an Ultra-racing concept vehicle. An elongated face, narrow headlamps, an angled mouth-like grille and a jutting chin are some of the other stylish features of the automobile. The car’s unique and refreshing design promises to be its USP
InteriorsThe flowing interior of Chevrolet Beat weaves together the instrument panel, front seats and door trims, creating an environment that is harmonious, uninterrupted and inviting to the senses. An exterior-color-matched instrument panel and door trim will be offered in red, blue or silver which enhances the unified design of the interior and exterior.
The interior of Chevrolet Beat is functionality dedicated and the most striking design element is a motorcycle-inspired dynamic meter cluster. The refined interior provides also upgraded functionality with features such as headrests that can be vertically adjusted up to 65 mm, carbon film-heated seats and various storage places. Pattern-printed semi-bucket seats of Chevrolet Beat provide a stable feeling when cornering. With high-quality materials and exceptional craftsmanship, they also enhance the luxurious interior atmosphere.
Ride And Handling
The ride and handling of Chevrolet Beat also set it apart from any other vehicle in its segment. Adopting the body-frame integral (BFI) system, the upper body structure and frame are engineered as a single unit, resulting in better feel of the road along with a heightened sense of firmness and stability, and enhanced connectivity between the driver and vehicle.
A McPherson strut front suspension of Chevrolet Beat combined with a four-point mounted long engine cradle and a width power reduction spring enhances the solidity of the entire chassis, for improved crash safety and driving performance. A rear compound crank torsion beam incorporates a tubular V-beam for more effective tuning and dynamic performance.
Chevrolet Beat features first-in-segment triple acoustic absorbent structure and special underbody structure prevent noise inflow from outside, for optimal quietness. Wind noise is minimized through the Beat’s aerodynamic body line and detailed door sealing structure.
