General Motors delays Chevrolet Beat Launch

The American Multinational Automotive Corporation’s Indian subsidiary- General Motors India had announced the launch of Chevrolet Beat Diesel in June 2011. The release has been further delayed to July, 2011. It was earlier reported that General Motors India was going to launch its small car in diesel variant by June, 2011. The reason behind the delay was not disclosed but resources reported that it is due to the recent strike at its manufacturing facility.

Yet another petrol price hike scheduled in the next couple of weeks will have General Motors India rolling out the new Chevrolet Beat Diesel in the first week of July, 2011. Chevrolet Beat diesel is expected to deliver a mileage of 26kmpl which is 1km more than Tata’s Indica Vista which is offering mileage of 25kmpl.

Thus Chevrolet Beat Diesel is going to be India’s most fuel efficient hatchback car. However, there will be some competition after the king of small cars Tata Nano launches next year. According to sources, General Motors earlier had pumped in $230 million for the establishment of new diesel engine unit having a capacity of 1.6 lakh units per annum. That is not all; as GM will release six new car models by 2012 which is going to include cars of all segments.
