The upcoming Chevrolet Beat facelift has been spied testing completely uncamouflaged on a few occasions revealing what we can expect from the new hatchback. Up-front, the new Beat will receive a new dual port grille flanked by redesigned headlamps with black inserts on either side. The side profile will remain the same and the Beat facelift will retain the C-Pillar mounted door handle. At the rear, the Beat facelift will feature refreshed tail lamps and a relocated number plate recess that is now positioned on the rear bumper.

Changes to the interior of the 2017 Chevrolet Beat facelift will include a new 7 inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system and a dual tone theme while the motorcycle inspired instrument cluster will be carried over from the outgoing model. Powering the new Beat facelift will be the same 1.2-litre petrol and 1.0-litre diesel engines. These engines though, may be tweaked in order to comply to the new BS-IV emission norms as well as for a better fuel efficiency. Once launched, the 2017 Chevrolet Beat facelift will rival the Hyundai Grand i10 and the Tata Tiago.
