2016 Chevrolet Spark
The redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Spark will remain one of the best values on the entire car market. Despite the subcompact vehicle’s inexpensive price tag, it is now available with even more neat features. In terms of fuel efficiency, all versions of the Spark deliver at least 40 mpg on the open road. Featuring a hatchback design, the new Spark proves to be an extremely versatile daily-driver. Meanwhile, the surplus of headroom will surely put a smile on the faces of tall drivers.
A super-efficient 1.4-liter, Ecotec four-cylinder engine puts the Chevrolet Spark in motion. Producing a total of 98 horsepower, this new engine can easily move around the lightweight hatchback. In comparison to the old engine, the new one is about 16 percent more potent. Not only does the Spark have a fuel economy rating of 40 mpg, but it also only requires regular unleaded fuel. While the continuous variable transmission delivers an extremely smooth performance on the road, some drivers may love the manual transmission’s extra thrill factor.
On the road, the Spark showcases its nimble driving dynamics. The hatchback’s small size enables drivers to weave around traffic with ease. According to Motor Trend, the new model sits about 1.6 inches lower to the ground. Although the Spark is not a sports car, it does handle remarkably well when compared to the competition. The car’s small dimensions will definitely pay off when attempting to park in a tight spot.
The Spark’s sleek European styling gives it the appearance of a much more expensive automobile. This is a major benefit for the drivers who are looking to ride in style without breaking the bank. While the base model is impressive, the LT trim takes the Spark’s attractiveness to the next level. The addition of fog lights and a more aggressive front fascia gives the Spark an extra touch of sportiness. Drivers will also like the enhanced flair of the machine-finished gray wheels. Some of the awesome colors include Jalapeno Green, Salsa Red, Lime and Electric Blue.
A youthful sprint can be felt throughout Spark’s interior. A jazzy gauge cluster gives the cabin an even more exciting character. Although the Spark may look like a tiny vehicle on the outside, the inside is shockingly spacious. Even the rear-seat passengers will be more than satisfied. With a total cargo capacity of more than 27.2 cubic feet, the hatchback rewards owners with outstanding versatility. Most people are also shocked by the car’s ample number of standard features. Some of the goodies include GM’s legendary OnStar system, a built-in Wi-Fi hot-spot, a four-speaker audio system, and air-conditioning. High-tech upgrades such as Chevy’s next-generation MyLink infotainment system elevates the Spark’s luxuriousness.
The outgoing Chevy Spark was praised for its solid crash test scores. However, the new model is expected to have an even better safety profile. All trims come standard with a total of 10 airbags. As usual, drivers will also benefit from GM's legendary StabiliTrak system. Meanwhile, the arrival, a new rear-view camera system will instantly enhance the driver's visibility. Some of the new advanced safety features include a blind-spot monitor, a lane departure warning system, and forward collision alert.
Expect the new 2016 Chevrolet Spark to hit dealerships during the latter part of the year. Although the official pricing has yet to be announced, its base price is unlikely to exceed $13,500. A 100,000-mile power-train warranty further sweetens the deal.
