Chevrolet Beat Activ to be unveiled at the 2016 Auto Expo – EXCLUSIVE

Chevrolet Beat Activ  that is the name for the new crossover version that the American automobile manufacturer will be naming its new vehicle. The Chevrolet Beat Activ is based on the new-generation Chevrolet Beat (globally known as Spark).

Chevrolet has plans to launch the new-generation Beat Activ in India and this will be amongst first of the India-specific products.

The Chevrolet Beat Activ might be launched in India sometime this year itself as the brand has plans to add more products to its exciting portfolio. Chevrolet is gearing to launch the Beat Activ in India and this will be manufactured at the company’s Talegaon plant. Our sources state that the company should be ready to manufacture the Beat Activ by the second half of this year.

The engines on offer are likely to be the 1.2-litre petrol and the 1.0-litre/1.3-litre diesel.

The Chevrolet brand is looking at adding products to its Indian portfolio.

Chevrolet even has plans to get the Spin MPV and the SUV-version, which will be launched as Spin Activ. Now, the Spin Activ shares the same Spin chassis, however it has more muscular looks and the spare wheel is mounted on the tailgate. This opens how it does in the Avventura, first slide the frame and then pop open the tail gate. As Chevrolet will be manufacturing these also in Talegaon, we could expect the brand to even share the same vendor for the mounted frame.

The Chevrolet brand will be launching more products based on the Beat, including a compact sedan as well. The other new products that are due to come to India are a new premium hatchback and sedan that will compete with the likes of Hyundai Elite i20 and the Honda City respectively. The new-generation Cruze too is coming to India, which made its global debut last year.
