Chevrolet Beat LT Opt Petrol

I m using this car more than 2 years after riding 50k I m going to share my exp. First of all interiors and exteriors of car are awesome u really love it but the buid quality of car is very vey poor from exteriors.

Seats are comfortable in short route only and suspensions are very poor. Now the a/c of car is worst in summers and in winters u can suffer lot of fog problem even if u on the heater. and if u r bunny this car because of zero maintenance.

Their is no such thing u have to pay 5k and above for paid service and around 3k for free service. overall according to price car is good but I think if u spend little more u can get more better car than this.

Performance: With 1 liter engine, its a lot to ask for power.but the car does deliver decent pick up. suspension is great.responsive steering. good air con.

Mileage the car does deliver 15-16 kmpl with a/c(18-19 kmpl w/o a/c) city condition.though it struggles during overtaking it does deliver 20 kmpl with a/c(23 w/o a/c) on highway.(as tested).

The car is great for 4 adults. a little congested for 5. Front row is good for a 6 footer. Decent leg space and great head room. Rear seats are average.

MY VERDICT  a good car, never broke down, good fuel efficiency,  great city commuter, value for money,    do a test drive, believe it, go for it.

==If the maintenance of the car is good, then it will never let you down ==

This car will go un noticed by its performance. Every time I look into this car looks kind of odd may be the design of the car is not that classy and even the green colour makes it look more ugly. Let me come to the point about the performance of the car.

The mileage which is a must for indian customers, its a flop show when it comes to this car. Performance of the car is also not satisfactory and it will require much maintenance with time and it has a very little space for the leg room which makes it really uncomfortable for a longer drive and  this time this car is not upto the mark and its a waste of money and not worth.

Go for better competitors at this price that will give you more boost rather than buying this one and being horrified later. Its an individual review and people also might like but then I didn't. Thank you

Chevrolet with its Beat is yet another disappointment, poor looks with such light weight is not at all appealing as company claims. A total flop show by beat, No Looks No Performance No Power No Mileage Its A NO NO NO It is launched at a price of Rs.4.20 - 6.28 lakhs

: No proper styling given to the car

: A very compact 170 Ltr boot space

: No beige interior option

: Some important features missing such as keyless entry, driver seat height adjustment and may more

: Poor quality cabin

Not at all worth buying as its rivals are better in every case

Look and Style: A fresh look compared to the other hatchbacks. The back doors take some getting used to, but are a welcome change. Comfort: Front seats are almost perfect. Back seats can be a little uncomfortable during long drives. If people over 5ft 10" sit at the back their knees poke the driver's back. Lack of space at the back. But its negligible.

Pickup: Good pickup. The car goes from 0-80 in no time. In traffic conditions the pickup can be a little annoying.

Mileage: Best in class mileage. I've had my car since June 2012 and it has given a consistent mileage of 20 km/litre and sometimes more. As long as you don't drive like a jerk, the mileage is like a dream.

Best Features: Music system is good. Mileage is the USP. Needs to improve: The servicing cost can hurt your wallet after 20, 000 kms. And chevrolet service centres try to take you for a ride while servicing your car. Spare parts aren't easily available.

Overall Experience: Overall, the car is fantastic. I've driven mine over 30, 000kms in just a year and a half and I'm not having any problems(Touchwood!). The only drawback is Chevrolet's service. They need to work on that. But if someone is looking for mileage and good drivability, there's no need to look any further. The Beat surely gets a thumbs up!

I have bought a beat diesel on dec 2011. The vehicle was shown starting complaints  after two years. I have complained this to the GM service the neglected the complaint by some battery voltage problem. After  3 year the vehicle was completed 50000km.

Then the warranty over and I purchased extended warranty for Rs.4100/-.  Last month the vehicle was breakdown and the mechanic from GM said it was due to engine failure and it is common for these series vehicle. So I given the vehicle for the checking the complaint. After checking the service people given an estimate of 25000/-  and I asked about the amount. they said that these are engine parts not covered by the warranty.

This not acceptable by me like common people because I have spent 500000k for purchasing the vehicle and before 60000 km the the engine was gone and for maintaining I have to spent again 25000/-. So my humble request is do not by CHEVROLET cars if your money have value.

My Beat-D:

My first ever car!

I feel I made a verg good choice.

My first ever long drive done to Tirupathi( same day I got my DL:-)

2.5yrs completed

52000kms done!

Today's mileage approx 20km/lit on Highway with AC.

Never'FAILED' on road.

Serviced at Trident Bangalore, as per schedules.

Steering/Braking is superb.

Can sustain & feel comfortable at 100-120kmph continuous for long hours.

City drive & slope start is good, enough power on clutch.

There is no need to do clutch-accl - love making!

Really Comfy for Long Drives(7hrs plus) - Two Adults plus - Two Kids.

Negatives:

The servicing, if you follow advised schedule, is quite expensive.(almost Rs.5K to 9K)

The suspension is not "Soft'. You get a light thud sound on humps & flyover joints.

Car can feel small size, if tall & hefty people sit in rear seat.

Engine sound can feel loud at 3000rpm -(but if you can'adjust' . the drive is pleasant)

MRP is expensive .( Do not BUY this, if you aim only city Use)

I bought beat diesel(lt)from Chevrolet dealer Aakriti world Jalandhar on feb 17th 2014 . At the time of visit of new model of beat lt, i asked the representative that this model should have steering audio control, if you will add this feature in lt model and if this model gives the mileage of 25km/per ltr.

I will buy this car, sales representative and manager of Aakriti world show room committed with me that they will definitely provide the steering audio control within 15 days or before 1000 kms in beat diesel lt model for me . So, i bought beat diesel lt model in white colour.

Now my car has been run 15000kms, I asked them several times for steering audio control system, but every time sales representative gave me false commitment within week or within 2 - 3days etc. Etc, I am expressing my experience about beat diesel. I drove it about 13000 kms in 7 month and my experience with this car is very bad, its mileage is only 16 -17 without ac.

I always filled the diesel tank full with 37 ltrs and drove until it finish, the diesel finished every time after running 620 or 630 kms. Its mileage is only 16 or 17 kms/per ltr without ac from the first day I bought.

Now its tank empty on 550 kms after the second service. I filed complaints to Chevrolet service center several times regarding poor average of my beat diesel and also at the time of is and 2nd service of vehicle, but Chevrolet service centre failed to solve the matter of poor mileage.

Complaint & suggest

1. There is no rear light for rear seats in beat diesel lt.

   
   




2. There is no light in dicky /trunk in beat diesel lt.

   
   




3. Seats are not comfortable for long drive.( foams are very thick and not quality wise) in beat diesel.

   
   




4. No indication for temperature.

   
   




5. No mileage average indicator, no blue tooth .

   
   




6. I cant see the speedometer clearly in sunshine. (Speedometer should be a plastic cover for shadow).

   
   




7. No central locking with remote and security system in this lt model (as it is top model).

   
   




8. No electrically operated mirrors.

   
   




9. Ac is not effective.

   
   




10. No rear parking sensor.

    
    




11. Front and rear side pillar are very wide, i cannot see right and left easily.

    
    




12. No seats pockets, no glass holder for rear seats.

    
    

13 its a only 3 cylinder 936 cc car, it should give mileage 25 kms+ but i am getting only 16 kms. I also drive my tata manza, its 1300 cc, but its giving the mileage 18 km with ac.

Note. Beat diesel it is totally a useless and feature less car for me, as it is not giving the average of 25 kms as company sales man committed at the time of sale as its cost 6, 10, 000/-.

It is very expensive if we compare its features and mileage with other car companies.

Hi, First of all I would like to tell you that this is my own experience nor will I recommend anybody to go on it. I booked this and car Dec 2012 and got it on Jan 2013 on huge discount from SBi and Kivraj joint sales operation. I don't know if there is any failure on that model on that time.

I test drove that vehicle and felt comfortable so I bought this car fully loaded.First service I gave it to khivraj, Chennai. Things were going smoothly until I went to Pondicherry which was longest drive after I bought this vehicle, The vehicle broke down and I called toll free Chevrolet team, they came, they inspected and told that FIP (fuel injection Pump failure)within six months the problem arose and I was shocked.

They told that around 800 cars faced this problem and it was the major problem in this model. They changed it in warranty.then I gave it to TVS, mount road Chennai for regular service.Man I would tell they were so poor and dumb in service. I got irritated by the way of promise and failure they give for delivery.

After a year I saw that all four doors and roof top were rusted and when I want to be replaced in warranty they told that they will ready it in coming service. I said ok and drove the vehicle for one week after suddenly my two air bags opened without any accident.

Though I have complained it has accident for insurance purpose I paid 56000/- some odd from my hand and got 33000/- from insurance. TVS people told that it may be sensor problem of airbag controllers.Then they replaced two door at first through warranty and a third door and roof top later.

I paid around 1.5 lakhs in the mean time for this car.lastly today i09/12/2014 I am in the middle of the road with broke down car emitting large smoke and noise.calling toll free number unknowingly what the problem is.whether its a problem in the car itself or with the TVS service centre for their wreckless service work. I am suffering now. Buying this car I spent money and valuable time additional to that I have suffered mental tension.

So if any body from Chevrolet or TVS can read this and help me can contact 9941229934.

Thanking you.

I bought Beat LT petrol in Jan 2011 and have run around 25K kms.

Its been a good 4 years with this small but trust worthy car. Never had a problem in terms of technical or body of the car. It has everything you want from a small hatchback. Pickup is really good, steering is superb(within city or highways) and mileage is around 13.

if you are a person who drives around 15-20 km a day with in city then this should be your choice. maintenance wise also its not very expensive as I never had anything major except of battery which was down once as I did not use it for long time. All in all a good car for small family and daily use.

Average maintenance/year= 6000-10000

Average mileage= 13

Quality of body= could be better but not bad either for under 5 lakh car

Color quality after 4 years= still good

Top Speed= 150km/h

Tyres= average(periodic rotation is must)

Dear Friends, This is in connection with my horrible experience at Pressana Automobile, Coimbatore.

I have been an owner of Chevrolet Beat since past two years

It is with utmost pain and utter disappointment that I write this review.

This time it was both delayed delivery and absolutely unprofessional and pathetic service.

On 03-09-14, I had taken my Chevrolet Beat for service to PRESSANA AUTOMOBILE, COIMBATORE.

On earlier occasion too(17-05-14, Invoice number 001247, Job number 001259)

, I faced with the issue of delivery well beyond promised schedule.

I had to miss out on an important commitment.

This time(03-09-14, job number 003815) I had taken the vehicle for general service/check up along with another very minor job(tightening of AC knob).

The promised time of delivery was 1500 hrs on the same day. At the outset itself I had mentioned to the service executive(one Mr.Dinesh, who was absolutely naïve and professionally found to be incompetent and it was evident that he was almost like a trainee under some probation!) that I have a very important commitment on that evening and hence let me know the proper time of delivery. Had the person told me about the time properly, I would have made some alternative arrangement regarding my commitment.

During the course of the day I had to ask the person atleast thrice regarding the job status of the vehicle and it’s delivery time. The service executive was clueless even after(apparently) checking up inside the service area! However, to my utter frustration, he kept on saying till noon that the vehicle will be given by promised time. After the lunch break, when I enquired, the reply was uncertain. Time was ticking for my commitment in the evening. After 1630 hrs, I asked about the job status and wanted to see the vehicle. I was taken into the service area and one person explained that the AC knob is NOT functional! This was surprising, because till the moment I left for service that morning the knob was working absolutely fine! How could something crop up suddenly? I asked him the solution. His reply was shocking, to say the least - “It has to be replaced with a new set. We do not have a new one right now, but we have an OLD set from ANOTHER VEHICLE which will be fitted to yours”.

For a moment I thought I had left my vehicle to some street market service guy! I said I will not agree to that, and I need the present one functional or a new one to be fitted. He said he will do something about it.

The vehicle was eventually delivered at around 1900 hrs that evening, and that too with lot of personal follow up, which is otherwise not required for an authorized service center.

So far about the abnormal delay in delivery, well beyond the promised time. I had by then missed a very important personal commitment which has put me into great financial loss and mental agony.

Now coming to the quality of the service –

1. The AC knob that was fitted was evidently fromanother vehicle and NOT new ONE or the older one! I could make out from the scratches found on the display panel. This aspect was not acceptable.

   
   




2. The interior vacuum cleaning was NOT done at all at the end of cleaning, which was clearly evident from the dust and sand beneath the foot mats which was even less than that before handing over for service!

   
   




3. I expressed my disappointment to the service manager one Mr.Sasikumar. His attitude was even more shocking and intimidating. His even said “Delay has occurred. What do you expect from us now?” That was a stupid statement and very irresponsible one.

   
   

Mr.Sasikumar was actually bulying and trying to intimidate me with his junior coleagues surrounding me and watching!

1. Most shocking of all was, after the tyres were rotated and alignment was done, the caliper bolt inside the right side front wheel was not properly tightened. This gave rise to unusual jolting noise whenever the vehicle encountered even a small pothole. This issue was noticed only and immediately after the service. However, myself being a non-technical person, was not aware as to why this noise came. This was informed to the company personnel who enquired regarding the feedback(phone number 0422 4051119). The implication was that a couple of days ago, the bolt had broken while driving and this generated enormous friction and as a result heat in the wheel.

I had very narrowly missed getting sheered away by a lorry which came across.

It could have been a major accident had this occurred on a highway. Fortunately, this happened within urban limits, when the vehicle was moving slowly.

1. I got this problem diagnosed by a Bosch authorized service center and the service manager there told me categorically that it was due to improper tightening of the caliper bolt that the same got broken. Though the issue may look minor, it could have resulted in a major accident at higher speeds.

The problem still persists with the rear wheel now.

Amazing that two trolley bags were adjusted in boot with any hazzle.  Service can mentanance cost I one year is Rs.17000/- includes engine oil and  all expenses.   What else we can expect from a less then 5lakhs rupees diesel car.

I own Beat LT(o) Diesel. Chevrolet is fooling people with the help of Beat. Its the worst car I ever drive. Mileage is too less; I'm getting 16kmpl with A/c.

Very much congested inside for 5 people. Very bad engine sound. I'm fed off with this. Very small seat and I'm getting back pain on long drives. So please Don't go for this WORST car.

IT has been three years now. Overall okay car. we don't get the mileage they claim. I get 16 to 19(with AC / partial AC) & without AC I get 21 if I drive really well.

They have given the oil chamber which gets damaged over the years and then service center ask to buy the plate to protect it. My question is why am I not given the plate to protect the oil chamber for free? After 3 years of ownership, I regret my decision which was based on its pricing and styling.

I could have gone for a better car as you don't buy a car for a day - it will be with you for years .  Not happy at all with the space as well. the boot space is TOO LESS. Can they not learn from Figo? The seats also don't cover the thighs well and hence not comfortable. Same with the shoulder coverage.

I FILED COMPLAINTS TO CHEVERLET SERVICE CENTER   SEVERAL TIMES REGARDING POOR AVERAGE OF MY BEAT DIESELAND ALSO AT THE TIME OF IST AND 2ND SERVICE OF VEHICLE, BUT CHEVERLET SERVICE CENTRE FAILED TO SOLVE THE MATTER OF POOR MILEAGE. COMLAINT & SUGGESTIONS

NOTE .

BEAT DIESEL LT IS  TOTALLY A USELESS AND FEATURE LESS CAR FOR ME, AS IT IS NOT GIVING THE AVERAGE OF 25 KMS AS COMPANY SALES MAN COMMITTED AT THE TIME OF SALE .

AS ITS COST 6, 10, 000/-, IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE IF WE COMPARE ITS FEATURES AND MILEAGE WITH OTHER CAR COMPANIES .

I bought Beat diesel car, 2 and half yrs ago. I got a steering problem(jamming and some sound from inside the steering while turn to left etc. etc).

I got it repaired from the service centre, GM Calicut on warranty. I am happy for now but I would like to remind all the owner about their warranty period. If it going to expiry plz extend it other wise u will repent. This car will be an headache to the owners later on. means PANI KITTUM.

Outer body condition is the worst. Their outer body gets rusted within 3 yrs and they do not replace as they promise. So their promises are fake. Please if u wanted to invest money do not choose chevrolet. I have this make for 3 yrs now and never had a good experience with their services.

Go for Hyundai / Swift.  They don't promise but make is good which will last long. Any additional info reach me at the given email address.

I bought this car in Jan 2011 and it has run for almost 38000 Kms.  I am very much satisfied driving it since l 3 and half years.  Its the best car for city driving.  Long distance driving is also good the only drawback is the boot space.  You cannot carry heavy luggage with you.

My verdict - If you are looking for a small, compact and stylish car, go for Beat.
