Chevrolet Beat registers 10 lakh sales worldwide

Chevrolet Beat from the stable of General Motors has clocked 10 lakh sales worldwide. Known as the Chevrolet Spark in foreign markets, this small car is currently sold in 71 different countries across the globe. The American carmaker has managed to sell 1,78,000 Beats in India alone since its launch back in 2009.

Commenting on this achievement, Arvind Saxena, President and Managing Director, General Motors India, said, “Chevrolet Beat, the most fuel-efficient diesel hatchback in India, has been appreciated for its technology and is increasingly selected by young buyers both in India and abroad. Following its huge success in India, the Chevrolet Beat was subsequently launched in other parts of the world.”

The Chevrolet Beat is available with petrol and diesel engine options in India. The 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine churns out 79.3PS of power and 108Nm of torque, while the 1.0-litre three-cylinder oil-burner delivers 56PS of power and 142.5Nm of torque. The petrol engine claims a fuel-efficiency of 18.8kmpl while the diesel engine delivers fuel-efficiency of 25.44kmpl. All variants get a 5-speed manual transmission.

The Chevrolet Beat sells the most in South Korea, followed by the United States and Mexico. In the United States sales of the Beat are up by 10 per cent year to date. GM India recently started export of the car from its Talegaon manufacturing facility to Chile in South America. More export markets for the India-made Beat are under consideration.
