GM India expects the Chevrolet Beat Diesel to be the Game changer for the company and the Indian market when it goes on sale this month by 15-16 July, 2011. The Chevrolet beat diesel will be the first diesel in its class, which could give it a first-mover advantage in the A segment; i.e. the hatchback segment, which forms the bulk on the Indian Car Market.
In fact, the Beat Diesel is all set to notch up a series of ‘firsts.’ It is the first three cylinder diesel engine in India, the first diesel under one litre and according to company sources, has the best ‘torque-per-litre’ and the best ‘bhp-per-litre’ figures in the industry.
The Chevrolet beat diesel produces a respectable 58.5bhp and 150NM of torque at 1750 rpm from its 936cc engine which in a compact hatch promises sprightly performance. However, the key question that’s yet to be answered is how fuel efficient the beat diesel really is? According to the official Indian Driving Cycle figure, the Chevrolet beat diesel mileage will be 23.99kmpl just behind the Indica eV2. However, in the real world conditions, which involve slower average speeds and more stop-go driving, the diesel Beat diesel could have an edge. Also not known is the price but its’ likely that GM India will peg it at an Rs.80, 00 premium over the 1.2 litre petrol beat.
Chevrolet beat diesel price in India is expected to be around Rs.5 lakh.
