Chevrolet India (General Motors India) has today launched its smallest diesel engine passenger car, the much awaited Chevrolet Beat Diesel in India at an attractive price starting at Rs.4.29 Lakhs. The Beat Diesel is available in three variants – PS, LS and LT (LT is available with some optional features). The Chevrolet Beat Diesel is powered by a small 1 litre turbocharged CRDI diesel engine developed specifically for India in India by General Motors India. The smarttech diesel engine produces high torque at low engine RPM making it a very peppy car. Also the NVH levels are also very controlled even at high RPM of the car.
The USP of Beat Diesel is fuel economy with great style and features with a small Diesel car. Although there are other small diesel cars available in the market like Tata Indica, Maruti Ritz Diesel, Nissan Micra Diesel, Ford Figo Diesel etc. but most of them come with larger diesel engine or lesser features or poor NVH levels and are priced higher.
