Practical city hatchback

When you live in the city you don’t need a car every day, but having one comes in handy for trips to the grocery store or weekend excursions out of town. The 2014 Chevrolet Spark makes owning a car in the city easy, in part due to its small size. Despite its compact package, the 2014 Spark offers flexible interior space, including 42 inches of legroom in the front seats. Three trims span from a barebones base trim to a well-furnished top spec that includes synthetic leather seats, heated front seats, and roof rails for more versatile cargo space.

5 reasons to buy the 2014 Chevrolet Spark

1. Designed for city living 

Snagging a parallel parking space or navigating through cobblestone streets isn’t a problem in the 2014 Chevy Spark. The Spark is small, measuring just 12 feet from bumper to bumper. You’ll have no problem slipping into tight street parking or spots reserved for compact cars.  

2. Spacious 

Despite its small size, the 2014 Chevrolet Spark has enough space for people and cargo. The driver and front passenger will have 42 inches of legroom. The Spark has 11.4 cu.-ft. of cargo space behind the second row. The standard 40/60 folding bench allows you to optimize cargo space when you need it, while available roof rails on the 2LT give added cargo flexibility. 

3. Gas-sipping engine 

Go further between fill ups thanks to the 2014 Chevrolet Spark’s gas-sipping engine. The 84-hp 1.2L four-cylinder engine gets an EPA-estimated combined fuel economy of 34 mpg with the standard manual transmission.

With the available automatic transmission, the 2014 Spark gets an EPA-estimated 33 mpg combined fuel economy.
 

4. Smartphone connectivity 

Connecting to your smartphone is easy in the 2014 Chevrolet Spark thanks to Bluetooth® integration, available on the 1LT and 2LT trims. That pairs with a seven-inch touchscreen, standard on all but the base trim. Running errands or waiting in the school pickup line will pass in a flash with your playlist on standby.  

5. Upscale touches 

If you’ll be commuting in the 2014 Chevrolet Spark, take advantage of upscale touches that will keep you comfortable. The 1LT trim adds cruise control, making long highway drives easier. The top-tier 2LT trim has heated front seats and leatherette upholstery, among other features.
