Engine power of the Chevy Beat

Most of you buddies, I bet, will give more preference to engine performance and mileage rather than the exterior looks and interior features while buying a car. The power and torque of the Chevy Beat in India is amazing when compared to other hatchbacks. The 1.2L, 1199cc, 4-Cylinders, 16-Valve, DOHC, STEC II petrol engine, equipped with port deactivation technology, enhances fuel efficiency and reduces noise. A five speed manual transmission gearbox dons all the three variants of the Chevrolet Beat in India. And with the engine capacity, you can expect 80.5PS of maximum power at 6200rpm and 108Nm of maximum torque at 4400rpm. The best part is that even at high speed, say 100 km per hour or above, your Chevy Beat won’t vibrate. With such engine performance, the hatchback, I feel, will soon find uncountable takers. And I am already in the queue.

The colour schemes of the Chevy Beat in India are worth mentioning. You can choose from amongst a range of colours right from Linen Beige, Green Cocktail Metallic to Misty Lake Metallic, Moroccan Blue, Olympic White, Super Red, and Caviar Black. I have opted for the Super Red; it will outshine other cars on the roads!

The Optra Magnum diesel price

I have been planning to buy a luxurious sedan since the past two months but in vain as I was not able to make a choice. Someone advised me to go for a Hyundai while a few suggested that I should buy Honda’s i-vtec and recommendations poured in plenty. My wife has seen the Optra Magnum and she looked at the features and other aspects in addition to checking the Optra Magnum diesel price at one of the car portals and her decision from day 1 has been the Optra. I also checked complete details and found that the Optra price India compared to other luxurious sedans is far cheaper.

The diesel variants in the Optra include Chevrolet Optra Magnum 2.0 LS, Chevrolet Optra Magnum 2.0 LT, Chevrolet Optra Magnum 2.0 MAX. Additional lumbar support, tilt steering, optimum use of space in seats, two-tone beige colors, mobile phone holder, chrome alloy wheels/door handles, etc. appealed me. It is again the 2L, 121PS common rail diesel engine, improved gearbox, and lot more attributes that finally steered me to book the car for a test drive. Optra Magnum diesel price ranges between the Rs 8.74 lakh to Rs 9.99 lakh figure.

Welcoming New Cars in India

I shall prove wrong if I say that you don’t love cars. Given the comfort and convenience, today almost all urban families and majority of the population even in small towns own a car or two or three or more each. New cars in India are always welcomed with zest by car connoisseurs. I am a car freak; driving is my passion. Whenever I get free time, I zoom out with my family either for a long drive or for a picnic or for sightseeing. I never get tired. Almost all new cars introduced in India, except those really expensive ones costing several lakhs and even crores, are tried by me. You must be wondering how?

Once I like a car in the market, I buy it. Using it for a year or less, I sell it off with loss of few thousands and even lakhs. Then I buy another one and the cycle has been continuing till date. The latest that attracted me was the Aveo U-VA. I bought it few months back and have been driving it without any complaints. No car has yet left any cause of grievance. I am liking the Aveo U-VA very much. Though I am all geared to buy another car, this will remain in my garage, and I shall use it often. It is easy to zoom with the Chevrolet Aveo U-VA in busy streets and park it even in congested areas. Space, performance, fuel efficiency, competency and other features are all unmatched!
