2013 Chevrolet Spark

A sporty four-passenger, five-door hatch minicar, the 2013 Chevrolet Spark is designed to excite first-time buyers and city dwellers with its bold styling and colors, affordability, the safety of 10 standard airbags, fuel efficiency and maneuverability.

While the Spark looks like a three-door hatch, designers disguised the rear doors by integrating the handles into the C-pillar area, giving Spark its sporty appearance without sacrificing four-door comfort and utility.

Air conditioning and power windows are standard across the Spark lineup. Color-coordinated interiors feature a lower instrument panel -- with a motorcycle-inspired gauge cluster -- and lower center console for maximum visibility and storage.

The Spark is powered by a 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers an 85 horsepower. It is mated to a five-speed manual transmission. A four-speed automatic transmission is available.

Spark's body-frame integral structure is tight and stiff for improved driving dynamics. The electronic power steering, MacPherson strut-type front suspension and anti-lock braking systems are designed to deliver taut, tight handling characteristics that better connect the driver with the road and provide outstanding overall stability.

The 2013 Spark mini car is the only car in its segment to offer a 7-inch color touch screen radio capable of displaying smartphone-based navigation, media and contacts for hands-free calling.

Attention-grabbing exterior finishes include Salsa, Jalapeno, Denim, Lemonade and Techno Pink, as well traditional hues such as Grey Area, Black Granite, Silver Ice and Summit White.
