The Delhi Auto Expo continues as Chevrolet has taken the wraps off the Beat Activ and Essentia concepts.

Starting in alphabetical order, the Beat Activ concept is a soft-roader that has been designed to stand out from the crowd. Chevrolet declined to go into specifics but the model has a bright green exterior with plastic body cladding, aluminum accents, and LED lighting units. The hatchback has also been equipped with a rugged front bumper, roof rails, and five-spoke alloy wheels.

The unique styling continues in the cabin as there's tri-color seats with green contrast stitching. Drivers will also discover bright green trim, faux carbon fiber accents, and a MyLink infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

Moving on, the Essentia concept is essentially a Beat sedan that is being billed as an "exciting precursor to a new production car."

The concept's styling leaves something to be desired but the model has a slender grille, bulging wheel arches, and an upward sweeping beltline.

Thankfully the interior is more appealing as it has brown leather and cloth seats with grey contrast stitching. The concept also boasts a three-spoke steering wheel, chrome accents, and silver painted trim.

Chevrolet declined to mention performance specifications but said both concepts are equipped with an assortment of safety features including anti-lock brakes, air bags, and a rearview camera.
