Chevrolet India has launched the Beat LPG in India. With the fuel prices sky rocketing this is a good step from the company. Chevrolet which launched the Beat in 2010 has not been very successful and sales have been declining due to immense competition.
However with the LPG fuel potion Chevrolet expects more buyers as the petrol prices are soaring and will be a good option for daily commuters who prefer fuel efficient cars.
The Beat LPG is priced at 4.10-4.53 lakh rupees (ex-showroom Mumbai). The Beat LPG is fitted with the SMARTECH engine displacing 1.2-liters, developed for the Indian market.
Two versions of the LPG Beat – the LS and LT – are offered. Both come with the same industry-first three-year/100,000-kilometre warranty as the petrol version and offer the lowest service/maintenance/parts cost for three years/45,000 kilometres
