About Chevrolet Spark

The Spark is a mini-car that offers features and technologies not typically found in the segment, including 10 standard air bags. When it comes to hauling gear on a weekend getaway, the Spark’s roomy cargo area offers 27.2 cubic feet (771 liters) of storage space with the rear seat folded.

Power comes from an Ecotec 1.4L engine offered with a manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Fuel economy is GM estimated at 29 city and 37 highway with the manual transmission and 30 city/37 highway with the CVT.
