Buddies,

This is suppose to be the 2016 Chevy Beat that's been spied un-camouflaged in Korea. The next gen Chevy Beat will be unveiled in Geneva Motor Show next month.

The next generation Spark will be formally introduced during this year as a 2016 model. It will likely get GM's new 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine and possibly a replacement for the current battery-powered Spark EV.

Looks like a distant relative of Elite i20[lol]. This may not be the Indian version, but the US/ Korean version of beat. As many of us know the Indian beat is known as Spark in other international markets.
NDTV Auto said:
If reports are to be believed, the US/Korean model will be based on the new Open Karl/ Vauxhall Viva, while the Indian and Brazilian model will be built on a new platform - Amber - that has been developed specially for the emerging markets.

2016 Spark / Beat unveiled at the NY Auto show.

The all-new 2016 Chevrolet Spark has bigger plans than the stage in New York City. It's a truly global pint-sized Chevy that will be sold in more than 40 countries around the world

The second-generation Spark does show some significant signs of improvement. It's longer, lower, and more powerful. Although final specs have not been released, the bowtie brand says the new Spark has a longer wheelbase and is 1.6 inches lower than the outgoing model. The lower roof may have caused some problems for people in the second row, but designers also lowered the passenger hip point. The longer wheelbase and stiffer new frame should enhance the Spark's ride and handling.

Chevrolet has added a new 1.4-liter Ecotech four-cylinder engine that will create 98 hp -- a 16 percent increase over the outgoing 84 hp, 1.2-liter engine. Power was an issue with the previous model, especially if you wanted to cruise on the highway or just drive up a hill. The new engine will be mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a CVT.

Need to see what are the Engine options when released in India.

New Chevrolet Spark/Beat unveiled

Chevrolet has unveiled the new Spark (Beat for India) prior to its public debut at the New York Auto Show. Chevrolet has also showcased the new Spark at the ongoing Seoul Motor Show 2015.
The new Chevrolet Spark (Beat) is based on the Vauxhall Viva and Opel Karl city car. It gets a grille similar to the one seen on the new Cruze, along with wrap-around headlamps. It also gets prominent creases along its body lines that add to its character. The Spark retains its signature rear door handles in the C-pillars. At the back, it gets boomerang-shaped tail-lamps, along with chrome garnish above the number plate.
On the inside, the Spark loses its motorcycle-inspired instrument cluster for a more traditional set-up, and gets a more refined dashboard with white inserts running the length of the dashboard. It also gets the steering from the new Cruze, along with a new touchscreen infotainment system.
Under the hood, there's a 1.4-litre petrol engine generating around 98bhp, mated to a five-speed manual or CVT gearbox. The company claims that the new car will be more efficient than the model it replaces.
The new Chevrolet Spark is expected to reach international showrooms by the fourth quarter of 2015.
