Chevrolet says No to Spin MPV; Beat Activ concept becomes a reality

General Motors will not proceed with the Chevrolet Spin MPV in India in 2017. Instead, it will continue to listen to its customers and shift its focus to growing segments, including SUVs.

GM also announced that the all-new Chevrolet Beat Activ soft-roader will go into production. The Beat Activ was introduced as a Chevrolet concept vehicle at the India Auto Expo in February.

The next wave of Chevrolet products to hit the Indian market soon will include a spirited lineup: the new Beat, Essentia and Beat Activ.

Exports will continue to be important for GM India. In 2015, the company exported 21,000 Chevrolet vehicles to 40 countries, including Chile and Mexico. This year, GM expects significant growth in exports, with an additional 50,000 units.

According to GM India President and Managing Director Kaher Kazem, “There was an overwhelming response from our Indian stakeholders to the Beat Activ when we revealed it at the Auto Expo in Delhi. As a soft-roader, the vehicle is ready for any adventure or challenge, while its interior ensures the driver remains comfortable and connected.”
