Chevrolet Beat is the name we call it in India which is known as Chevrolet Spark in the united states is one of the most compact cars by Chevrolet in the USA. The Chevrolet Beat/ Spark new 2013 model with facelift has been recently displayed at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. The American version of the Chevrolet Beat comes loaded with a lot of gadgetry and features which is missing from the Indian version but it does give a reflection of the cosmetic upgrades and some of the features which we can expect in the upcoming variants of Chevrolet Beat in India.

What To Expect From Indian Version of Chevrolet Beat 2013
If we talk of which of the above mentioned elements can be included in future Indian variants in coming two to three years span, we think most of the exterior elements can be incorporated without much of a glitch. It would cost some more bucks to add these features to already sporty looking Beat.
On the inside however, the features shown above may not be accommodated to full extents as such features are available in much larger and expansive cars in India and putting them will mean added cost. Since Indian car buyers are very price sensitive when it comes to small cars, we think that Interiors may get only some cosmetic uplifts and the feature list may not be upgraded drastically. There is no official word on when the new Beat will make it to Indian shores, but the name suggests the same. So we believe that a facelift should be introduced towards the end of 2012 or early 2013 in India.
