A lot of times the test units of Chevrolet Beat Diesel have been spotted by many people. The launch of the Chevrolet Beat Diesel is planned for June 2011 and it will come with one of the best mileage figures in the small car segment with its modern Diesel Engine- Chevrolet Beat Diesel Engine Details here. So far the cheapest diesel hatchback cars in India is the Tata Indica eV2 with an ex-showroom price tag of about Rs. 3.95 Lakhs for the base variant. As per the initial reports from Chevrolet, the price of the Beat Diesel will be about 10% to 15% higher than the Beat Petrol version in India, which comes out to be approximately between Rs. 3.8 Lakhs and Rs. 4 Lakh rupees, which is very close to the Tata Indica eV2. This means that if the Chevrolet decides to deliberately keep it more aggressive than eV2, the Chevy Beat Diesel will become the cheapest Diesel hatchback small car in India.
Also with the frugal engine developed by Chevrolet India R&D team may beat the eV2 in mileage, which is a already a big number of 25 KMPL.
