CHEVY MINICAR CONCEPTS PACK PERSONALITY & STYLE


NEW YORK – Chevrolet recently debuted three minicar concepts designed to appeal to young car buyers in urban markets. The Chevrolet Beat, Chevrolet Groove and Chevrolet Trax concepts drive the energy, diversity and excitement of urban life into cars that deliver fun, fuel economy and value.

“The design team was so enthused about…developing the perfect small car for urban commuters that they created not one, but three interpretations,” said Ed Welburn, vice president, GM Global Design.

Chevrolet’s three minicar concepts include:

  • Chevrolet Beat: A front-wheel-drive, three-door hatchback concept built to be personalized, and powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine and automatic transmission. It’s loaded with technology, including navigation and premium audio.
  • Chevrolet Groove: A retro-inspired vehicle with fender flares and an upright windshield. The front-drive Groove is powered by a small, efficient 1-liter diesel engine.
  • Chevrolet Trax: An urban crossover concept that gets a low-cost all-wheel-drive system and looks the part of a rugged SUV, thanks to a one-piece front and back bumper and fender system, a rear-mounted spare tire and a roof rack. Trax is powered by a 1-liter gas engine.
