It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally for this model of Chevrolet cars, as well as for all developments of the famous brand. A quick excursion into the history of the creation of the Chevrolet corporation will tell you that it was founded by a fan of American motorsport, a certain William Durant. The ambitions of the independent investor did not stop there, and soon the today famous transatlantic corporation General Motors (GM) appeared. However, the USA cannot be called the country of origin of this car model. The corporation has its own production facilities in almost any large developed country, which have characteristic differences. Having visited Chevrolet Spark spare parts catalog, located on the website of the Avtokor online store, any owner of this car will find the necessary high-quality replacement parts at the manufacturer’s price.

Fact . In the markets of the post-Soviet countries, until 2012, models of the Chevrolet brand were associated among domestic car enthusiasts with inexpensive budget cars. At the same time, in the States, vehicles with a well-known and recognizable logo are a prestigious and expensive proposition.

GM Corporation Policy

North American Chevrolet cars are, first of all, unparalleled SUVs with enormous potential, sports cars and supercars at astronomical prices. The South Korean incarnation of Chevrolet, and any domestic car enthusiast will say that this model is a product of this country (and he will be partly right), has a slightly different focus. For the most part, cars with this logo are produced here on the basis of “Daewoo” in a budget version. There is a need to buy spare parts for a Chevrolet Spark or any other model of this brand, the Avtokor online store is at the service of car enthusiasts. Professional free consultation, prompt delivery of original spare parts from the manufacturer, convenient form of payment - all this is at the disposal of the client of the virtual trading platform.

This policy benefits GM:

the market is becoming saturated with models coming off the assembly line in different configurations;

conquering the European car enthusiast through budget, but quite reliable and

high-quality cars made in South Korea;

filling the market of post-Soviet countries with inexpensive car models;

testing innovative technologies for other GM models, coupled with low-cost assembly in South Korea.

Such a variety of offers has made the Chevrolet company one of the most mysterious, but at the same time, popular and in demand among motorists around the world.

History of the Chevrolet Spark

Using the example of the development (technical growth) of this nimble car, we can see in which countries besides South Korea this car was assembled:

The first generation, known to domestic motorists under the name “Chevrolet Matiz,” was already sold in many countries as the Chevrolet Spark.
The second generation of Chevrolet Matiz, introduced in 2005 in South Korea, was decided to be sold in Europe under the name Chevrolet Spark (although in some countries the first name remained unchanged). The hatchback of compact dimensions retained the external shape of its predecessor and was equipped with two types of engines - volumes of 0.8 liters and 1 liter. A 4-speed automatic transmission was offered as an additional bonus.
Since 2010, the South Korean auto industry began producing a 5-door hatchback, which appeared in the Russian Federation from factories located in Uzbekistan. Two types of equipment were offered - a 1.2-liter engine with a manual transmission and a liter engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The most budget version in the Russian Federation was offered for only 452,000 rubles, but at the end of 2015 it left the country’s domestic market.
The fourth generation of the Chevrolet Spark, produced by the same South Korean auto industry since 2015 and aimed at Asian and American countries, is, at least, not officially supplied to Russia. In Europe, this model is called “Opel Karl”. The model is presented in two versions - a 1-liter 3-cylinder and a 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine. You can choose a 5-speed manual or CVT. In the USA, the cost of this model starts at 13,000 North American rubles.
In the Avtokor online store you can select and buy original spare parts for the 2007 Chevrolet Spark at the manufacturer's price, as well as for all subsequent models.

In Russia, where there is a tendency for car prices to rise faster than wages, inexpensive, economical small cars with more or less acceptable appearance will always be in demand. Such as, for example, the 2nd generation Chevrolet Spark, which was born in 2010 and amazed the general public with significant changes in appearance and more. The appearance of Spark has become truly recognizable - its “eyes” alone are worth it! And what are the frankly youthful body shades worth... Read about what the second Spark is and who needs it with its “little eyes” in our review!

Design

If someone needs a second Spark, it’s certainly not the category of family people and “older” people. Why do they need it, because they can already spend money on more upscale and practical cars, whose spaciousness is beyond doubt. Cars that won't make you wonder every time: where to stash your luggage? No, Spark with its “sparkling” name is definitely for a different audience. But for which?

Judging by the head optics, which give a resemblance to giant insects from adventure films, as well as its compact dimensions, especially convenient for narrow European streets, Spark is a product for young people. And it’s hard to imagine who else will fall for this “insect,” whose rear door handles, by the way, are disguised just like those of cars of the Italian brand Alfa Romeo. That's the number! Needless to say, after the second Spark, the first-generation model seems incredibly boring and unsightly. The car that survived the update has everything different: the headlights, radiator grille, sides, rear, and even the roof rails are different! It’s not in vain that the small car has been updated, oh, not in vain.

Design

The model is based on the “new” proprietary GM DAT chassis, designed for heavier equipment than the previous generation of Spark cars (aka Daewoo Matiz). At the same time, the suspension scheme is the same as that of its predecessor: MacPherson struts are installed in front, and a torsion beam is installed in the rear. The front brakes are ventilated discs, and the rear brakes are drums. The brakes are surprisingly grippy, and the suspension is tuned for comfort rather than performance. The subcompact car jumps over speed bumps without any problems, easily overcoming holes and potholes (and this is taking into account the ground clearance of 143 mm), but at the same time it is quite rolly and rolls noticeably during maneuvering at speed and in slow turns.

Adaptation to Russian conditions

The second Spark is well prepared for Russian realities by class standards. By default, it has heated side mirrors and 1st row seats, climate control and a 5th door windshield wiper, and can hold up to 994 liters in the trunk with the rear seats folded down. luggage With the seats folded down, the trunk volume, however, is much more modest - only 170 liters, and this is only enough for a standard suitcase and 2-3 bags from the supermarket. The cargo compartment is opened with a key or a lever from the interior - there is no handle on the outside. The baby Chevrolet's engines are economical, and most importantly - unpretentious and are completely at ease with inexpensive 92-octane gasoline, which is very important in our operating conditions.

Comfort

Surprisingly, but true: the interior of the budget Spark has design, and what a design! Other budget employees, deprived of interesting interior solutions, should definitely learn from him. Here, the proprietary principle of symmetry of zones for the driver and passenger immediately catches the eye, the plump steering wheel with a slightly recessed central part attracts attention, and the colored trim on the dashboard, logically continued on the inside of the doors, excites the imagination. Another plus of the Spark interior is the variety of niches and pockets for storing small items. There is even a mesh pocket on the side of the front passenger seat, not to mention pockets in the backs of the seats, doors and 5 cup holders. The “motorcycle” instrument panel, located on the tilt-adjustable steering column, leaves a double impression. Of course, its “motorcycle” look is an effective solution, especially due to the blue lighting characteristic of many Chevrolet cars. But here’s the problem: the right sector of the “tidy”, which has a non-linear tachometer scale, a digital fuel gauge and a miniature on-board computer screen, is less informative compared to the analog speedometer on the left. Average and current fuel consumption is not displayed - only the power reserve is visible.

Forgetting about the not very informative instruments, you can rejoice at the successful texture of the dashboard - thanks to it, the hard and gray material does not smell cheap, as is the case with the plastic of the old Spark. Properly placed in the center console, the audio and climate control units are decorated with a glossy trim, whose pattern is somewhat reminiscent of carbon fiber, for greater effect. Elegant, in a word. The 1st row seats have a fairly comfortable shape, but are slightly disappointing with slippery artificial upholstery that does not “breathe” at all. What GM calls seat height adjustment is simply adjusting the angle of the cushion. Unfortunately, there is no rest area for the left leg. The rear sofa is quite spacious by class standards; The backrest folds in a ratio of 60:40, forming a flat loading area.

In 2009, the 2nd generation Spark was tested by the European independent organization Euro NCAP, earning 4 points out of 5 possible. Automotive experts rated driver/adult passenger safety at 81% out of 100, child protection at 78% and pedestrian protection at 43%. Electronic assistants also received 43%. The equipment that was good for a public sector employee allowed us to get good ratings, which, depending on the configuration, includes front and side airbags, rear parking sensors, an anti-lock braking system (ABS), Isofix mounts for child car seats and other safety attributes. Inflatable “curtains”, available for Spark in other countries, are, alas, not included with the Russian version.

On the center console of the Spark there is a regular CD/MP3 radio with a small narrow screen, control buttons on the steering wheel and a USB input for mobile devices. There is nothing special about it, and you can’t count on anything more significant. A full-fledged multimedia complex is not included in any of the configurations and it is impossible to get it even for a separate fee. The sound quality of the standard radio, as you might guess, is far from ideal, but it’s better to have at least such a radio than none, right? Especially if you remember that we are talking about a state employee.

Chevrolet Spark Specifications

The engine range is represented by two petrol 16-valve “fours”, inherited from the technological “twins” Opel Agila and Suzuki Splash. This is a 1.2-liter 82-horsepower engine, compatible with a five-speed manual transmission, and a liter engine with output of 68 hp, which is also combined with a 4-speed automatic transmission without manual control mode. The old 0.8-liter 3-cylinder engine, familiar to most from the Daewoo Matiz, was never used in the second Spark. According to the manufacturer, the average fuel consumption of the 82-horsepower modification is low - only 5.4 l/100 km, and for the 68-horsepower version - 6.3 l/100 km, which is almost in agreement with reality. The dynamics in both cases are mediocre, but given the low cost of the model, this is understandable and forgivable.

The Chevrolet company is one of the few automobile brands that can boast a long history, with its ups and downs.

The company appeared at the beginning of the last century. It was created by auto racing enthusiast William Durant, who later also organized the General Motors concern.

At the moment, General Motors is one of the most influential companies in the global automotive market. On every continent you can find branches of the company where Chevrolet products are assembled.

In today's article we will talk about where Chevrolet cars are made.

“Top” and budget assembly

The American company Chevrolet is one of the few brands that can afford to produce both expensive and prestigious cars and budget models.

If we talk about factories in North America, they produce exclusively unique cars with a high cost and great claims to sporty style. South Korea also stands out as a manufacturing country, whose factories produce cheap options that are very reminiscent of former Daewoo models.

Advantages of the bipolar production option:

wide range of products. Cars are more affordable for people, because those who cannot afford an expensive model can safely get a budget one;
high-quality budget cars are highly valued in the European market;
in the CIS automobile market, cheap budget models are in great demand, which almost every local car enthusiast can afford;
enterprises that assemble budget car options are an excellent “laboratory for experiments” and testing new technologies.

Even before 2012, in the markets of the CIS countries, Chevrolet products were considered low-quality and weak. Car enthusiasts noted that “Americans” are bought only by those who do not have money for a normal car. The situation in the USA was radically different. In America, Chevrolet cars are considered quite elite and expensive.

It is this opposite that is the main mystery of the company and, naturally, increases interest in it.

Chevrolet made in South Korea

For the European market, and in particular for Russia, cars made in South Korea are in great demand. Domestic showrooms and dealership centers are chock full of these products.

In Russia, as well as in other neighboring countries, models such as Matis and Nexia are sold under the Daewoo brand. And since 2014, also the Daewoo Gentra, which is an analogue of the Chevrolet Lacetti model.

From this we can conclude that European and South Korean branches are beginning to gain momentum and improve their status. Today, the following models of the American giant can be purchased in Europe and Russia:

Aveo and Cobalt made in South Korea;
Cruz and Captiva, which are produced under the Daewoo brand;
AvtoVAZ Niva;
American-built Corvette and Camaro;
SUVs Trailblazer and Tahoe, also American-made.

You need to remember that when buying a Chevrolet car in domestic showrooms, you need to be extremely careful. After all, the appearance of the American versions differs little from the Russian and Korean ones. But, if you dig deeper, you can find out that overseas products are made of higher quality metal, and the interior is decorated with expensive materials and using modern technologies. Of course, all this is difficult for inexperienced car enthusiasts to notice, so it is best to ask for a car passport.

In order to get a feel for what an American SUV is, you can buy a Trailblazer or Tahoe. In terms of their technical characteristics, they are definitely not inferior to Japanese and Korean SUVs.

Since 2015, the European branch and branches of the CIS countries began a rapid movement towards the production of more expensive premium cars.

American made Chevrolet

As mentioned above, more expensive and high-quality Chevrolet models are assembled for Americans.

Among them, it is worth noting four main types:

Malibu, Impala and Volt passenger cars;
sporty versions of the Corvette and Camaro;
SUVs Traverse and Trucks;
Colorado and Silverado pickups.

Many are surprised by such differences in the vector of development of American and Korean enterprises. After all, residents of Europe and America look at Chevrolet products from completely different angles.

Conclusion

Chevrolet cars are produced in almost all developed countries of the world. This is due to the fact that the level of sales on the world market is simply off the charts. And this is due, first of all, to American engineers who are always trying to be one step ahead of their competitors.

According to experts, Chevrolet will soon become a leader in the auto industry.

Chevrolet Spark (from English - “spark”) is a front-wheel drive five-door, five-seat subcompact. In Russia, two generations of five-door small hatchbacks are known under the name Chevrolet Spark. One was produced from 2005 to 2009 in Korea and India. Others, from 2009 to the present, are also produced in Kazakhstan. Both cars are a continuation of the car, which, by the way, also bore the Spark name in some markets.

In 2002, Daewoo came completely under the control of General Motors, and in order not to create a new compact model, the concern chose to modify the already existing Matiz. In 2004, the M3X concept was presented - it was a Matiz, which ItalDesign specialists worked on. The car received LED optics and a new 1.0-liter engine. It was this concept that, in fact, laid the foundation for the Chevrolet Spark model.

The Spark was launched into mass production in 2005; the new car differed from the usual Matiz with an improved suspension, improved sound insulation, an expanded list of equipment, a spacious interior, as well as a modified interior and exterior.

In 2007, the Chevrolet Trax, Beat and Groove concept cars debuted in New York, one of which was destined to become a production car after an online vote. With more than 1.8 million votes, Beat won, which became the modern Spark, which went into production in 2009. The design development of the model was led by Taevan Kim (until 2006, he worked for Fiat and took part in the creation of the Fiat 500 and Grande Punto).

In Russia, the model began selling in 2010 after its premiere at the Moscow Motor Show, and in the United States it appeared only in the second half of 2012. Spark for Russia is produced in Uzbekistan at the GM Uzbekistan plant, for Europe - in South Korea in the city of Changwon.

In 2012, the Spark EV debuted in Los Angeles with a 130-horsepower electric motor and a range of 150 to 200 km. It is noteworthy that this was a production-ready car, and it was then announced that the car would go on sale in the United States in 2013.

Technical features

The first Chevrolet Spark was 14 cm longer than the Matiz, almost 10 cm wider and slightly taller. The new generation Spark differs from the previous one in its increased weight (835 versus 939 kg). The aerodynamic drag coefficient of the new and old Spark is 0.33 and 0.34, respectively. The 800 cc engine previously used in the Matiz was modified at the Worthing technical center (UK). The Spark, released after Daewoo was incorporated into General Motors, received a modified front end and an improved liter engine. In 2005, a restyled version appeared with a design from Italdesign Giugiaro, on a new platform and with an automatic transmission.

The length of the modern Spark is 3,640 mm, width - 1,597 mm, height - 1,522 mm, wheelbase - 2,375 mm, trunk volume - 170/570 liters (minimum/maximum).

The car uses 1.0- and 1.2-liter gasoline engines. In Russia, the liter engine is only available with a manual transmission. In Europe, Spark is sold with engines running on gasoline and natural gas.

Advantages and disadvantages

The hatchback stands out for its expressive appearance and good price-quality ratio. Chevrolet positions the Spark as a 5-seater car, but there is not enough space in the back for three adults; only three children will be comfortable. In addition, the model’s trunk is very small: 170/570 liters (the competitor Suzuki Splash has about the same amount - 178/573 liters).

The base Spark comes with air conditioning, but lacks a power-adjustable driver's seat and ABS. The Suzuki Splash has richer standard equipment: ABS, EBD, emergency braking system, front and side airbags, air conditioning, opening the gas tank hatch from the passenger compartment, heated seats.

But the Citroen C1, with its only 1.0-liter engine and trunk volume from 139 to 712 liters, “fades” in front of the Spark.

The KIA Picanto is sold in 3- and 5-door versions, but it does not have such high ground clearance (Picanto - 142 mm, Spark - 160 mm).

Safety

In 2009, Spark received four “stars” out of five in EuroNCAP tests (69 points out of 100), the car was let down by the lack of an ESP stabilization system. For comparison, the Daewoo Matiz received only three “stars” from EuroNCAP; in a frontal collision, the dummy hit the steering wheel with its chest and also suffered leg injuries.

Interesting Facts

The Beat prototype played the character Skids in the movie Transformers 2. By the way, Trax, another prototype that debuted along with Beat at the New York auto show, also appeared in this film, playing the role of its twin named Mudflap.

In 2002, a joint venture between General Motors and SAIC in China began production of the Chinese version of Spark under the name Chevrolet Le Chi.

Czech Spark fans have already set more than one record included in the national Book of Records. In 2008, they organized a meeting where one hundred Sparks gathered at the same time, and in 2010, they beat their own achievement by gathering 101 compact cars in one place.

Awards and numbers

In 2011 and 2012 Chevrolet Spark became the first in the “Car of the Year in Russia” competition in the “City Cars” category. The car also received the title “Best Car According to Runet 2011”.

Several times Spark was included in the list of contenders for the title of “Car of the Year” in Europe and the USA, but never achieved success.

In 2012, the American magazine Wards Auto awarded the Spark model a prize for the best interior. By the way, in this rating Spark turned out to be the cheapest of the winners.

The contract to organize the production of the Chevrolet Spark at the GM Uzbekistan plant worth $124.5 million was signed in 2008. Production started in August 2010. In 2012, GM Uzbekistan produced 33,027 Spark units (14% more than in 2011).

In 2012, 47,640 of these hatchbacks were sold in the markets of Western and Central Europe, the market share increased to 4%.

The ideal city car, seemingly created by the city itself: versatile, agile and stylish. The Chevrolet Spark is a 5-door compact car equipped with many useful features for city driving. A wide pocket on the back of the seat can store maps, magazines and more. A mesh side pocket is designed for easy access to smaller items.

The price of a new Chevrolet is considerable, but for this money you are purchasing a high-quality and unique car. Although, of course, you can save money and buy a used Chevrolet.

where is chevrolet spark assembled

General Motors plant, Incheon, Korea 100%, at one time I myself thought about this car... but IMHO the car is 100% female... there is no space, the engine is weak.. but it is "powered by the holy spirit" (C) I heard that they want to produce it in Ukraine (at ZAZ) supposedly talking about it. You can watch the Chevrolet video test on our page.

Space baby: Chevrolet Spark review.

Why the hell don't you turn around?! Why don't you notice me point blank?! Well, the bespectacled guy in the light green Matiz stepped on the gas to drive on a parallel course and have time to see the car. This one is clearly on topic. Jealous, boy! I'm driving a car of the future, a model that, firstly, has not yet gone on sale, and secondly, looks like a spaceship. More precisely, like an individual escape capsule from a spacecraft. Spark second generation.

Outwardly he is really funny. Funny - in the positive sense of the word: cheerful, perky. This is a big plus in favor of a car the size of a flea. This appearance deprives the car of the wretchedness that is well known from the current generation of Sparks/Matizs, and even the drag coefficient has become a little better. This appearance deserves a long paragraph. Even two!

The designers dared to allow a glaring imbalance between the bulky mordulence and the cut-off rear. Or maybe they didn’t think about it at all. The stern (let's go from the rear) is flat like plywood, its almost vertical cut begins with a sharp corner of the spoiler edge and ends with a short overhang. This form leaves hope for accident-free parallel parking performed by the one who is “all so sudden, so contradictory...” But it leaves almost no space in the trunk for her purchases. There are a couple more details of the rear part that will definitely catch your eye: the handles of the rear row of doors hidden in the black pillars and the cut-off rear edges of the roof rails.

The little car in front is simply handsome! Of course, it is inferior in expression and dynamics to its drawn prototype - the Beat concept, but it is still good. The sharp edges of the geometric elements, the huge glazing of the optics, the harmonious transition of its line into the ascending window sill line - this is truly impressive. Plus size 15 wheels! In general, they managed to give a dynamic look to the box, a little more than three seconds long.
half meters and a height of one meter fifty! True, the bumper hangs low, albeit gracefully, but like a bulldog - not even the most harmless ones with such an overhang will fit into every country road. It’s a pity to scratch the faceted “lip” painted in the body color.

But the huge bus glazing in the front seats looks harmonious and gives a good view. In the front seats you don’t feel squeezed at all. Spark will not offend anyone who was teased by the “rafters” and “towers” - there is enough space for a tall driver. And the steering wheel is height adjustable. It will be more difficult for an obese person, but I would like to see a big guy “trying on” such a car. Even sitting in the back (for an Ashnik) is tolerable. It is noticeable that this model is clearly larger inside than its predecessor - the overall dimensions have increased by 15 cm in length and 10 cm in width.

The bright red color of the body is continued in the same painted inserts on the front panel and door trim. Along with them, the interior is decorated with a dashboard in the form of a single separate block attached to the steering column. Its functionality is debatable, because everything is not always visible from behind the steering wheel rim, and the curve of the electronic tachometer on the bright blue monitor and the indicators in the deep eyes along its perimeter are read with noticeable effort. But this design solution for the dashboard is unconventional (again, in the good sense of the word). And they managed to cram a trip computer into this box, showing time, average speed, driving distance with remaining fuel, etc.

Ours, the richest version, also had electric windows, electric side mirrors, air conditioning and a radio with AUX and MINI-USB sockets, as well as steering wheel control keys. And rear parking sensors. Not chic, of course, but this is A-class. And there is no smell of inferiority here anymore.

1.2-liter 16-valve engine from its older brother Aveo, derated to 81 hp. s., at idle you can't hear it at all. Is it really that soundproof?! No, while driving there is noise from the engine
compartment allows you to change gears of a fairly clear 5-speed manual transmission by ear. It’s interesting that acceleration accompanied by such a “soundtrack” does not seem sluggish. Slower than the Aveo, but not sad. The box is quite elastic; in fourth gear you can pull it out from low speeds. And on the first one you can crawl at the speed of a traffic jam, even without taking your feet off the pedals. There are only problems with the back - the handle needs to be pushed in more confidently. Although, perhaps, this is an acquired “disease” only of this particular machine. And one more thing about sound insulation: the trunk door closes not with a dull bang, but with a loud “bang” sound, accompanied by an iron ringing sound. And this door opens from the outside only with the turn of the key.

The suspension and steering are quite worthy of praise. The same McPherson in front and beam in the rear, but the heavier car with a widened track holds the road clearly more confidently than the current Matiz. And the steering wheel, devoid of sporty sharpness, is nevertheless very accurate. There is no need to be afraid of minor unevenness and shallow ruts; the machine can easily pass such obstacles. Yes, it’s better not to exceed significantly more than a hundred on it, but remember about the speeds allowed in Russia. But how convenient it is to park! And you will have to go to the gas station regularly just because the tank is too small. But, alas, we don’t respect such cars.

We'll have to see what kind of cars will be for the Russian market - we have not yet driven a car made in Uzbekistan and with a Euro-5 engine. Sales should begin only by the end of the year, and the price tag for this car has not yet been announced. Now we can only assume that the base price for the “space” Spark will be higher than the current one (from 301 thousand rubles), but not more than the starting price for Aveo (from 385 thousand). That is, a car with a liter engine will cost around 350 thousand. And a version similar to the one tested will clearly exceed four hundred.

CONS AND PROS
Liked: appearance and behavior on the road.
Didn't like: poor sound insulation and large front overhang.

Chevrolet Spark 3: review with detailed specifications.

The third generation five-door Chevrolet Spark hatchback, one of the main characteristics of which is compactness,
was first presented at a motor show in the heart of Switzerland - Geneva in 2009. GM did not reinvent the wheel; the car, like its predecessor, became a mirror copy of the Daewoo Matiz, a long-liver in the world of minicars.

The design was carried out by the Italian design bureau ItalDesign. As a result, the Chevrolet Spark radically changes the usual roundness into clean lines and a modern appearance. From the trendsetter of automotive style, he got a somewhat aggressive exterior, a signature grille, massive main optics, rear door handles hidden in the pillars and a spoiler in the rear.

The ultra-modern design of the fairly spacious interior also has interesting features. Good materials and

high-quality execution are aimed at declaring: miniature cars can pleasantly surprise. The instrument panel cannot be overlooked either. Visually, it resembles a motorcycle, and consists of a large round speedometer coupled with a digital tachometer.

The Spark's wheelbase is 2,375 mm, which has significantly contributed to the ability to create a cabin with spacious legroom, which is not at all typical for cars in this class. In addition, the luggage compartment is pleasantly surprised, which thanks to the folding rear seat

can change the volume from 170 to 994 liters. It is also interesting to note that the number of pockets and cup holders of different sizes has increased.

Spark is equipped with new 16-valve petrol engines, which are entirely made of aluminum alloy. With a working volume of 1.0 and 1.2 liters, a power of 66 and 78 liters is developed, respectively. With. Fuel consumption in the combined cycle is about 5.0 l / 100 km, CO2 emissions - 120 g/km. The engines are offered with a 5-speed manual transmission. For the one-liter engine, a 4-speed automatic transmission is additionally provided.

Summing up, we can safely say that the developers have done a good job, proving that small cars for the city can be completely different - bright, original, with character.
