Safety
The ABS (Anti lock Braking System) available in Chevrolet Beat helps the prevention of wheel locking in case of sudden braking and also controls the stability of the car. The presence of Dual SRS Airbag in the car is of great help at the time of accidents and collision which reduces the impact of collision and provides a cushioning effect in collision. The 2.5 mph impact proof bumpers offer greater safety to the passengers of the car and also reduce the impact of injury in case of accident and collision. The halogen headlamps offer a very clear visibility to the roads and reduce the danger henceforth. The availability of front fog lamps in some variant of the Chevrolet Beat acts as a safeguard against bad weather condition driving. The front seat belts with load limiters are another safeguards present in the car.
User Reviews
Beat looks beautiful from front as well as rear. The styling is excellent as well as performance. Riding and handling are very good. Feels excellent grip on the road at curves and bends. I think a little more ground clearance would have been better on the Indian roads. There is enough room and leg space inside. The positioning of front seats are commendable and very good for long rides. I made a few checks with the mileage. I found I am getting around 14 - 15 km/L during the local rides in Kerala. Commenting upon quality and reliability I never had an opportunity to visit Service center except for the prescribed service check-ups. More Details
