The 2013
Chevrolet Spark mini car,
Chevrolet’s first mini car for the U.S. and Canadian markets, is a
sporty four-passenger, five-door hatch. It is designed to excite
first-time buyers and city dwellers with its bold styling and colors,
affordability, the safety of 10 standard air bags, fuel efficiency and
maneuverability.
Spark also is the only car in its segment to provide MyLink Radio – a
seven-inch color touch screen radio capable of displaying
smartphone-based music, videos, photos and contacts for hands-free
calling. MyLink Radio comes with two embedded apps for
Pandora internet radio and Stitcher Smart Radio and later, BringGo, an embedded app for full-function GPS navigation, will be available for purchase.
Though compact, Spark offers more passenger and cargo room than other
mini-cars such as the Fiat 500, Smartfortwo and the Scion iQ. Equipped
with the Ecotec 1.25L four-cylinder engine and five-speed manual
transmission, Spark offers competitive EPA-estimated fuel economy of 38
mpg hwy.
The Spark is already on sale globally. In the U.S. and Canada, Spark is offered in LS, 1LT and 2LT models.
“Spark is ideal for active city dwellers because it is easy to drive,
easy to park and easy to own,” said Chris Perry, Global Chevrolet vice
president for marketing. “For these customers, Spark is their key to the
city.”
