Conceived to evoke the mood of a speedy mirco import tuner, the Chevrolet Beat concept was designed and built by leveraging GM’s Global Product Development process, created from the best practices from around the world that integrated design, engineering, powertrain and manufacturing organizations to ensure each vehicle program met its quality, timing and business targets, yet responsive to the needs in regional markets. The production car based on the Beat concept incorporated these resources, bringing to market quickly a right-sized car, with a right-sized ecological footprint at the right time.
