Beat is the most important car for Chevrolet as it was a landmark in terms of new looks and kept pace with changing Indian consumer’s desires.

A couple of years back Chevrolet launched Beat as a car possessing refreshingly modern and aggressive looks. In fact GM launched exactly the same model of the Beat, which they showcased at Detroit 2010 as a concept. The car has a broad front face containing pointed twin-barrel headlamps and parted grille with chrome touches. From the side, the car looks stylish with carefully placed aerodynamic lines and alloy wheels.
