Don’t let its incredible affordability allow you to underestimate what it has to offer. The Chevrolet Spark packs top-notch build quality, exceptional handling, and technology features into its compact package. Read on to learn more about what makes this little hatchback perfect for your urban trips.
1. Excellent Maneuverability
Thanks to its short wheelbase of just over 93 inches, the Spark makes getting through dense traffic and tight parking spaces a breeze. Its 1.4L ECOTEC inline-four engine can be paired with a responsive 5-speed manual transmission or an automatic continuously variable transmission. Steering is very quick and nimble, making for an enjoyable driving experience.
Adding to its easy handling is the ultra-light curb weight of 2,312 pounds for automatic models and under 2,300 pounds for manual-equipped models. That translates to quick stops with its strong brakes.
2. Smooth Ride Quality
Standard on all models is the front suspension MacPherson struts and compound crank rear suspension. ACTIV models feature touring suspension for a firmer ride. The Spark’s suspension is well-tuned and easily absorbs bumps in the road and uneven surfaces, making for a quiet, smooth ride for you and your passengers.
3. Upscale Interior
You’ll swear you were in a car that’s triple the price when you step into the Spark’s attractive interior. The excellent build quality can be seen in the well-fit panels, high-quality surfaces, available premium carpeted floor mats, and touches like leatherette seat trim and heating on the ACTIV and 2LT models. The dashboard has a sophisticated look, and its controls are smartly laid out.
4. Infotainment System
All Spark models come standard with Chevrolet’s Infotainment 3 system that features a 7-inch touchscreen. It offers plenty of connectivity with 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot capability, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. You can also plug in your devices using dual USB ports.
A subscription with Chevrolet Connected Services and OnStar is available and provides a host of services, including contacting emergency responders in the event of a crash, location and recovery assistance if your vehicle is stolen, and roadside assistance.
5. Driver Assistance Technology
Chevrolet’s Spark features plenty of driver aids to keep you and your passengers safe. Coming standard on every model is the StabiliTrak system that uses electronic stability control and traction control. This system makes it easier for you to control the car when making emergency maneuvers with automatic adjustment of the brakes and engine power.
The available Forward Collision Alert warns you of any potential collisions in front of the vehicle and even lets you know if you are tailgating another vehicle. Standard Hill Start Assist makes it safer and easier to start the car on an incline by automatically engaging the brakes as you move your foot to accelerate.
When searching for a commuter that gives you a lot of bang for your buck, you can’t go wrong with Chevrolet’s Spark. It provides amazing value with its unbeatable performance in the city, well-made interior, and wealth of technology. Call Joseph Chevrolet to schedule your test drive today!
