2012 Chevrolet Beat Review
2012 Chevrolet Beat Review - Chevrolet Beat facelift revealed. The 2012 Beat gets updated exterior looks and improved interior quality. New powerplants and an electric version of the Beat on the cards. General Motors unveiled a face-lifted version of the Beat at Chevrolet’s centennial anniversary celebrations at Detroit, USA. The Chevrolet Malibu sold in the US comes with a partial hybrid system called E-Assist - a 15Kw electric motor. This system could soon make its way to the Chevrolet Cruze.
“The Spark EV offers customers living in urban areas who have predictable driving patterns or short commutes an all-electric option,” said Jim Federico, global vehicle chief engineer for electric vehicles at Chevrolet. “It complements Chevrolet’s growing range of electrified vehicles, including the Volt extended-range EV and the 2013 Malibu Eco with eAssist technology.”
The second-generation Beat gets new front and rear fascia with re-profiled front and rear bumpers, reshaped honeycomb grille that houses a slightly bigger Chevy bow-tie emblem, new fog lamps and modified headlamps and brake lamps. It also gets new outside rearview mirrors and alloy wheel design. The company claims the interiors have received a mild update as well.
