2017 Chevrolet Spark Review | Features Rundown | Edmunds
Edmunds:
BRYN MACKINNON: I'm Bryn
MacKinnon from Edmunds,
and this is an Edmund's expert
rundown of the 2017 Chevrolet
Spark.
Whether you're looking
for your first car,
or you're just looking for
something small and agile
to motor around town in,
the 2017 Chevrolet Spark
is worth a look.
The Spark was just
redesigned last year
so there aren't any
changes for 2017.
Right up front,
it's worth noting
that the Spark is one of the
slowest cars in its class.
If you're looking
for something peppy,
this probably isn't
the ride for you.
Despite that lack of power, this
is a pretty good subcompact car
with some nice available tech
and impressive fuel economy.
The Spark is rated by the
EPA at an impressive 41 miles
per gallon on the highway.
And if you're driving the
Spark in a crowded city,
the small exterior
dimensions will definitely
help you squeeze into
tight parking spots.
That size means it's
tight on the inside
though, with limited hip and
shoulder room, both up front
and in the back seat.
Legroom and headroom
in the back suffer too.
So four adults will have
a hard time squeezing in.
The trunk isn't
very large either,
even by class standards.
It should be enough for at
least one or two suitcases,
but for big road trips you
might need to fall down
one of the rear seats.
Bottom line with
the 2017 Spark is
that you're looking at
a low-cost hatchback
with a few nice
available tech amenities,
but it's not that
impressive out on the road.
Rivals like the Honda Fit,
Hyundai Accent, and Ford Fiesta
are worth checking out before
you make your final choice.

Auto Pedigree:
2016 Chevrolet Spark - First Look
Cars.com:
if you're looking for a small urban run
about the chevrolet spark has been a
possibility for a few years now but
Chevy is redesigned its global small car
we're here at the Auto Show with the
second generation of the spark let's see
if it is as electrifying as its name
suggests this park is still a very small
car overall height actually is down a
little bit versus the prior generation
and wheelbase has been increased a
little tiny bit for more cabin room
definitely a sweeping redesign that
affects the front most clearly much more
of a grown-up look here now we've seen
aspects of hyundai toyota even a little
bit of Volkswagen up here but definitely
a better look overall for this spark
versus its predecessor which had a
little bit of an insect-like bug-eyed
appearance the redesigned interior of
the spark features a big center stack it
really kind of features prominently in
the center part of this dashboard a
7-inch my link that several days
multimedia system touch screen here is
standard now includes a backup camera as
well now overall materials as you'd
expect for kind of an entry-level car
they're fairly basic but it's kind of a
nice interesting texture on the dash
doesn't make it seem too shiny gives
kind of a muted tone and there's some
creative use of colors inside the car
you get some painted panels here like
you did in the old spark that can sort
of add some vibrancy around you on space
now there's a nice holiday out area here
below the center stack that actually
allows you need to kind of spill into so
it's not too bad they're looking out the
back here we're head restraints nest in
the seats like they used to
that clears up space very well right
behind you but again like the old spark
still door handles in the back of the
rear doors and make those c-pillar seem
a little bit thick
hertsmere over-the-shoulder blind-spot
visibility and also find the backseat
adequate in terms of space but if you're
planning on loading up on cargo often
you're going to want to find a bigger
hatchback there's just not a ton of
space behind the seats and folding them
down is a process that really sucks you
gotta totally seats forward first and
then get the head restraints down up
there up and then put these cushions
down and if you really want to get the
seat all the way down you gotta come and
move
the front seats forward a little bit
score enough clearance here then gets
this forward and move the seat all the
way down it was a mess in the prior
generation of the spark it remains one
here the big question for any small car
is fuel economy we've heard that highway
gas mileage on the chevy spark this is
from Chevy officials should be right
around 40 miles per gallon or so but
finally PA numbers and that
all-important combined figure still to
be determined so stay tuned to cars.com
for more news on that closer to the
Chevy sparks on sale date in late $MONTH

is here Grand Rapids. We're here at Tinney
Chevrolet just North of Grand Rapids in Greenville.
Let's go see why this techno pink compact
mini car should be on your list of test drives!\
Chevy nicknamed this 2013 Spark a mini car
but it's actually larger than it appears.
For size comparison it's 4 to 5 inches longer
than the Fiat 500 and 2 inches shorter than
the Mini Cooper.\
This 2013 Spark is a powerhouse of technology.
Notice this 7 inch MyLink touch screen. This
MyLink offers streaming bluetooth, iPod connection,
Pandora, Stitcher and Bringo Navigation when
sync with your smart phone.\
For you iPhone users out there, The Chevy
Spark offers Siri eyes free technology, giving
you no reason to look at your phone while
driving as it will be completely in sync with
your car.\
The 2013 Chevy Spark is rock solid safe! It
comes standard with 10 airbags, StabiliTrak,
ABS and Brake Assist. And look at all the
room back here.\
Here's something to consider. The Spark is
$3,000 less than the Scion IQ and the Fiat
500 with same or better economy, double the
cargo space and a better warranty. That's
why you need to come down to Tinney Chevrolet
and test drive one yourself!\

McCluskey Chevrolet:
If you’ve been considering the 2020 Nissan
Versa, then you should probably check out
this 2020 Chevrolet Spark.
The Chevrolet Spark is packed with features
that you can’t get on the Nissan Versa.
The Chevrolet Spark has Standard Onstar which
uses a GPS receiver and cellular system to
get turn by turn driving directions, unlock
your doors remotely, and help track down your
vehicle if it’s stolen.
To help the drivers achieve optimum performance
and fuel economy.
The Chevrolet Spark has a standard up shift
button to indicate when to shift based on
power needs and conditions.
To allow full utilization of available cargo
room, the Chevrolet Spark hatch uses gas struts
supported hinges that don’t intrude into
the cargo area.
The Nissan Versa does not.
The power windows are standard on both the
Chevrolet Spark and the Nissan Versa.
They both have locks to prevent small children
from operating them.
When the lock on the Chevrolet Spark is engaged
the driver can still operate all of the windows,
for instance to close one opened by a child.
The Nissan Versa prevents the driver from
operating the other windows just as it does
the other passengers.
Come on down and see everything the 2020 Chevrolet
Spark has to offer with our free 48 hour test

2013 Chevrolet Spark
Cars.com:
cars.com auto review
i'm kelsey mays for cars.com and we're
at the LA auto show checking out the
all-new Chevy spark
this is a new subcompact entry-level car
for the brand but wait you're saying
chevrolet already has the sonic which is
kind of all of that and that comes as a
hatchback while the spark comes only as
a hatchback and it's about 14 inches
shorter than the sonic hatch that plus
this cars 32 and a half foot turning
circle can make you see why chevys
calling it a real city car the cars on
the show floor are two LT models are
pretty well-equipped they have these
roof racks kind of look goofy for a
small hatchback
but other elements are pretty upscale
they got alloy wheels here with
contrasting finish on the spokes
there's fog lights that kind of float
within these chrome outlines right here
kinda cool and the tailpipe integrates
really nicely into the bumper not
usually something you see on a
subcompact kind of cool stuff makes you
expect big things from the interior you
would be wrong to be fair there are some
nice things about the inside here
there's a nice touch screen here this is
a Chevrolet MyLink multimedia system got
pretty good menu is pretty fast response
times pretty easy to work with here
some nice stuff chrome around the
speedometer darker trim around the
center stack looks pretty good
visibility also another High Point the
windows are really big side windows
front windshield the rear window is huge
and it's kind of right up next to you
kinda behind you and the rear head
restraints stay out of the way so good
visibility straight back
beyond that the spark doesn't like a
whole lot of fire
the windows are big and the doors are
really then so it kind of pulls
everything from the outside world
perceptually closer to you
you turn around and the rear doors have
door handles in the back of the window
that adds a big chunk to the cars
c-pillar takes a bite out of your blind
spot now
cars always change between what you see
in the prototypes in the auto show floor
and what you get at dealerships but the
early indications are that great lot of
hard plastic surround you even among
small city cars like a sign
cue the Fiat 500 cars like the smart
fortwo this interior feels pretty basic
that flimsy door handles you've got hard
armrest here that are really thin don't
come out far enough for most people's
arms
nothing really much trimming along the
door the steering wheel controls feel
like they were kind of thrown onto the
hub at the last minute
the sparks been on sale internationally
since 2008 and in a lot of ways it feels
like a car that was designed three years
ago the backseat season for adults
actually had room isn't really a ton but
the groom's fine and the front seats
have a lot of give to them so you need
to kind of dig in there if you need to
the problem is cargo room it's pretty
tight and that's where it becomes
readily apparent that the spark is a
shorter car then the sock
so you're gonna have to be folding down
the rear seats a lot let's give that a
shot
all right first thing is the rear seats
come down here so you got to move the
head straight down and they don't want
to come all the way down about a 45
degree angle here where they stopped
that's because the seat cushions need to
kind of collapse forward
so now you try that and well there's not
really enough clearance here to throw
the seat back into the seat cushion
maybe the head straight comes out to
give you more clearance
nope doesn't do that so now you got this
year and you've got to come up to the
front seat and move the front seat
forward to give enough clearance we're
making progress now
now you've got enough clearance for the
rear seat to finally come down
things are looking good right because
you've got a nice flat load floor and
and not this big step up that you
usually have in a lot of subcompact cars
except now you can't really drive
you got to put the seat back doesn't
really want to go back that far
and when you try to finally put this up
this is totally stuck here
it's just kind of a mess I really hope
that Jimmy fixes this by the time the
spark its dealerships
if it doesn't well good luck with it
chevrolet has yet to announce EPA gas
mileage or pricing for the spark but you
can bet that will probably start below
the Sonics 13-7 price tag and have
pretty good
city gas mileage given the cars humble
interior and limited utility though we
really hope that the efficiency is high
and the price is really low

McCluskey Chevrolet:
If you’ve been considering the 2019 Mini
Cooper Hardtop, then check out the 2019 Chevrolet
Spark.
The Chevrolet Spark offers an optional lane
departure warning system that alerts temporarily
inattentive drivers when the vehicle begins
to leave its lane.
The Chevrolet Spark offers an optional continuously
variable transmission with no “steps”
between gears.
It can keep the engine at the most efficient
speed for fuel economy, or keep it at its
peak horsepower indefinitely for maximum acceleration.
For better traction, the Chevrolet Spark has
larger tires than the Mini Cooper Hardtop
4 Door and for better maneuverability, the
Chevrolet Spark’s turning circle is 2.4
feet tighter than the Mini Cooper Hardtop
4 Door.
The Chevrolet Spark may be more efficient,
handle and accelerate better because it weighs
about 500 to 600 pounds less than the MINI
Cooper Hardtop 4 Door.
Come on down and try this vehicle out before
you buy it with our free 48 hour test drive.
If you like it, then we will cover it with
our FREE lifetime mechanical warranty for
unlimited miles and unlimited years.
