Handling and safety of the Chevrolet Beat

Chevrolet BeatMuch has been talked about the braking, handling, and safety aspects of the Chevrolet Beat amongst the new cars in India. The dynamic and efficient suspension system - rear variety of Compound Link Type and front variety of Mc Pherson strut type – all powered with gas filed shock absorbers, facilitates in extra driving comfort as well as stability.

The sophisticated braking system enables safe driving. Using the Anti Lock Braking System (ABS), you can prevent wheel lockup during a sudden braking on highways or busy streets. You can easily manage unexpected braking surprises on the road with the front and rear brakes. De-accelerating of the car in high speed is thus a possibility due to the powerful braking system that the Chevrolet Beat in India comes equipped with. This is one of the key reasons why people have fallen in love with this car amid the collection of new cars in India launched during more or less the same time.

There are both active and passive safety features, enabling safety of the driver and passengers. In case a collision takes place, a cushioning effect is produced by the presence of Dual SRS airbag, thus reducing the impact of collision. Moreover, to add to the safety factor are the 2.5 mph impact proof bumpers helping reduce the impact of any injury. Clear visibility during the night is made feasible with the halogen headlamps. So, even if you are driving at high speed at night, the roads become clearly visible to you.

Car reviews on Chevrolet Spark 1.0 LT and Optra LT

Chevrolet Spark 1.0 LTI own the Chevrolet Spark 1.0 LT and I am all praises for this hatchback car. The engine performance and the handling are so well oriented. Even when it runs at 100 km or more per hour, the car doesn’t vibrate. I have tried other cars of other brands of the same segment too, especially of my colleagues and friends. And they do vibrate at high speed making the passengers as well as the driver uncomfortable. I often post my experiences on my Spark 1.0 LT as I cannot stop myself from sharing with you guys! The low price tag is no match compared to its stylish look and quality interiors. It is made of high quality steel, making it light in weight, facilitating it with the necessary balance, and ensuring stability even on the roughest of roads. I have also seen many a car review like mine carrying positive comments about the Spark.

Just as I post a car review on the web on the Spark every time I get time, my cousin who owns a Chevrolet Optra LT does the same. He loves his Optra LT just as I love my car.

According to him this sedan is outfitted with an All Wheel Independent Suspension (AWIS) system with XPRO protection facilitating easy braking and smooth rides. Powered with the Turbocharged Common Rail Direct Injection diesel engine, the Chevrolet Optra LT delivers a power of 120PS @ 3000 rpm.
