Finally the Chevrolet Spark, a model that was allegedly shamelessly cloned to become the Chery QQ, will be able to have a unique design again! The new Chevrolet Spark will be unveiled at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, smack in the heart of Europe where small and fuel efficient hatchbacks like this are popular.
The new Spark is based on the Chevrolet Beat Concept, one third of a trio of cute compact concept cars that GM exhibited sometime ago. While the Beat was a 3-door hatch, it has been translated for production into the 5-door design you see here. The new Spark will also be making an appearance in the new Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen movie, a smart marketing move as potential young and gimmick-loving European first time car buyers could be swayed to buying “that car that was in Transformers” when picking among the many choices out there.
This is the first time we’re looking at the Spark’s interior and it seems that Chevrolet has implemented a motorcycle-style instrument cluster positioned in front of the driver. It is mounted on the steering column like the new MINI and uses a combination of analog and digital instrumentation to display information.
Despite being a small (likely low-end) model, there is considerable attention paid to detail with the exterior design. It’s not easy/cheap to stamp metal into the shapes required for the body, and the rear door handles are hidden near the C-pillar much like the Alfa Romeo 147 and 156. The interior dash lights up in a colour similiar to the Jaguar XF.
The new Chevrolet Spark is 3,640mm long with a 2,375mm wheelbase and will be available with either a 1.0 liter or a 1.2 liter engine, both DOHC engines with 4-cylinders for smoothness that’s hard to achieve with a 3-cylinder. The car will (depending on markets) be available with front, side and curtain airbags, ABS, and even stability control.
The Spark is expected to hit European dealers by early 2010. Stay tuned for more updates on this new compact car once Geneva rolls by, then we’ll have full specifications including power output and more photos of the interior. |

uch of the Chevrolet Beat concept car’s styling has been carried over to the Spark, but there are a few details that have been toned town. The headlights are enlarged, surface development is somewhat less extreme, door handles have inevitably been added, and the production wheels are decidedly less exotic.
Spark will be available in Europe later this year, followed by other global regions. The European version of the Spark debuted last year at the Geneva Motor Show.
GM previously announced that the Spark will be sold essentially unchanged across the world. Sales will start in Europe featuring 1.0-liter 66 horsepower and 1.2-liter 78 horsepower 16-valve four-cylinder double overhead camshaft gasoline engines, delivering excellent fuel efficiency and low emissions.
GM says that the new small car will be capable of greater than 40 mpg on the highway, giving it a significant advantage over the automaker’s current minicar offering, the Aveo.
Depending on global markets, safety equipment includes driver and passenger front air bags, front side airbags, roof rail head curtain airbags, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control. Other safety features include pretensioners for front seat belts and three-point belts in the rear. Spark has been developed and is expected to achieve high crash test ratings. |
