The hatchback was initially launched the petrol guise only, but in February last year the car was rolled out in LPG version, though the LPG variant could not do any wonders for GM India, but the company stole the limelight with the induction of Chevrolet Beat diesel in India. Last year in July, GM India lifted the covers off the diesel version of Beat hatchback. Chevrolet Beat diesel review reveals that the hatch is housed with a three cylinder diesel engine, the car is capable of generating 62.5 PS of power and a peak torque of 160.26 liters. On the exterior front the car flaunts same looks as its petrol sibling and also sports same features as well. Owing to its elongated headlamps and cutting edge looks, the small car looks conspicuous amongst other hatchbacks in its segment.
The diesel version is selling like hot cakes; it is extremely frugal and gives a stiff competition to other cars in its segment like Ford Figo and new Maruti Swift. Launched at an introductory price of Rs 4.29 lakh (e-showroom price), the company in the beginning of the year hiked the Chevrolet Beat diesel price by Rs 15,000, later as effect of the hike in cess levied on hatchbacks, the company further hiked the car prices across its range.

Apart from that the company will also launch the sedan version of the car, Chevrolet Sail sedan which could be launched during the festive season of Diwali. Chevrolet’s Sail hatchback and Sail sedan had been spotted umpteen times undergoing test runs across the Indian roads. Sail hatchback will be placed above Beat and will also be tagged above Beat, it will be a new entrant from GM India in the premium hatchback segment.
