Exterior:Bright colors. The colors of Beat are very bright and lively in nature. I mean they are made to attract its target audience i.e. youngsters. Bold front with huge headlamps and a big grill. It looks cool but somehow I feel it is much bigger then the whole car, which gives it a feel of a big car from front. Actually after spending some time with it I started disliking its huge front. Rear side of this car is quite good looking. Nice tail lamps placed nicely and in proportion with the whole appearance of the car. Rear spoiler looks good. This car sports a 14 inch wheels which gives it required attention and good grip over road.
Interior:Looks great in photos but in real it is not that great. People talk of its driving position but believe me the driving position is somewhat awkward. I am really not very comfortable in it. Even spark is better then this car. UVA is very good in terms of driving comfort. Dash looks different(this is all I can say) but not awesome. Plastic quality is great as expected from a chevy. Control switches are of good quality and feels easy to operate. One thing I want to mention here that the integrated stereo system does not looks good(in my opinion). Seats are a bit hard as compared to its competitors. It is good for short drives but in longer drives it may be not that comfortable. Actually I drive a lot on long drives and I feel cars should be comfortable in long journeys. Rear seats are nothing to be happy too. I sat on the rear bench behind the driver seat and my knees are touching(rubbing) the driver seat. Terrible. The rear seats are not much inclined so you end up sitting quite straight which is not comfortable by any parameters.
Engine:Where are those BHPs and torques. The engine starts very silent and remains same in idle. Slot it in first gear and push accelerator. Where is the power gone. Slot it in second gear, again same complaint. I hope I won’t have driven it at least I am happy looking it. Every time in fourth gear you have to apply brakes you have to change gears to maintain momentum. This car is great on papers but in real driving conditions I feel spark is a better driver’s car. I am really really disappointed by its performance. And if you are not comfortable enough driving this car the it is not an advisable car.
Mileage:Mileage of this car is about 12.5 in city. Actually I had a chat with an owner of this car who is in the showroom. He is also not happy with the pickup and he reports mileage to be in 12.5 kmpl range.
Pricing:Pricing of this car is good. Top model is of about 4.4 lacks. Which make it very competitive among competition.
