Chevrolet's supermini- Spark

The Chevrolet Spark supermini made its debut at Geneva, and will give the likes of the Hyundai i20, Fiat 500 and Ford Ka a run for their money when it arrives in the UK next year.The Spark is mega-important for Chevrolet, because it’s going to be sold in the USA, India, Europe and pretty much everywhere else as well, so it better be good.As a result of the massive economies of scale, the Spark is likely to go on sale at under £7,000 too. That makes it cheaper than its rivals too.






Chevrolet’s mini-car features newly-developed, all-aluminum 1.0 and 1.2-liter gasoline engines, generating 66 hp/49 kW and 78 hp/58 kW respectively, with combined cycle fuel economy of below 5.0 L/100 km (47 mpg US), together with CO2 emissions of less than 120 g/km. The Euro-5 compliant, 16-valve engines are mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. The 1.2-liter engine is expected to deliver zero to 100 km/h acceleration in 12.4 seconds.
