2017 Chevrolet Beat (spyshot)
Bunny Punia Auto Blog India has posted a spyshot of
the next-gen Chevrolet Beat testing in Delhi. It’s expected to launch in India
in early 2017, and will spawn a crossover (Chevrolet Beat Activ) and sub-4m
sedan (Chevrolet Beat Essentia) as well.
Chevrolet has revealed the exterior of the next gen Beat, which is nearly
similar to the international-spec Chevrolet Spark. More of a heavy facelift
than a next generation, the 2017 Chevrolet Beat gets an updated 2-part grille
flanked by large headlamps, chrome embellishment on the grille and headlamps,
roof rails, round foglamps, new taillamps and a re-positioned registration
plate area.
Changes inside are likely to be limited to a new
dual-tone dashboard housing a 7-inch MyLink infotainment system and a revised
bike-inspired instrument cluster. Improvements to the build quality as well as
materials are also expected.
The next gen Beat will continue riding on the
outgoing Beat’s M300 platform. The engine lineup is reported to include a 1.0L
petrol engine, and the currently featuring 1.0L TCDi diesel engine.
