2021 Chevrolet Spark review

1. City-friendly footprint

The 2021 Chevy Spark is a city dweller's dream with a compact footprint that fits almost anywhere you want it to go. From tight alleyways to cramped underground garages, you'll love how easy it is to maneuver this small hatchback. Measuring only 143.1 inches in length, the 2021 Spark can squeeze into small parking spots. Its shorter wheelbase also provides a well-balanced ride that can zip through traffic with swift lateral movements, which makes this hatchback very fun to drive.

2. Fuel-sipping engine

If you're shopping for a small hatchback, the 2021 Chevrolet Spark will impress you with its thrifty performance. All 2021 models use a 1.4L four-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive to return an EPA-estimated 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway with the continuous variable transmission.

 If you choose the sporty ACTIV trim with the 1.4L and five-speed manual transmission, the 2021 Spark delivers an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. For commuting or running errands, the Chevy Spark's fuel-frugal powertrain is a sensible way to get around town.

3. Bold design

Available with two new-for-2021 exterior colors—Cayenne Orange and Mystic Blue—the 2021 Chevy Spark will ignite your senses with its bold design and stylish interior. A chrome-surround grille and a rear aero spoiler come standard on every model, while the 2LT also boasts chrome door handles and exterior trim details for added sophistication. If you prefer a sportier look, the 2021 Spark ACTIV has an athletic stance with a slightly raised suspension, black leatherette upholstery and color-coordinated accent stripes. 1LT and 2LT models also offer an available power-sliding sunroof with sunshade, so you can enjoy a fresh breeze on sunny days.

4. Innovative infotainment

The 2021 Chevrolet Spark includes many infotainment features to enhance your time on the road. All trims come standard with a Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system with a seven-inch touchscreen display that provides seamless smartphone integration thanks to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities. Your passengers will also love the Spark's Bluetooth audio streaming abilities for up to two devices, as well as two illuminated USB ports to keep their devices charged. An available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot is optional on every 2021 Chevy Spark, which provides internet access for up to seven devices.

 Whether dealing with rush hour congestion or long road trips, the 2021 Spark will keep you entertained and connected on your drive.

5. Helpful driver aids

All 2021 Chevy Sparks come standard with a rearview monitor and daytime running lamps, so you have good visibility whether reversing or driving through gloomy weather. The 2LT trim also includes a standard rear park assist system, which provides guidance when maneuvering into tight spots. For additional driver aids, the 2LT trim offers an optional Driver Confidence Package, which adds forward-collision alert, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking to the 2021 Spark. Other driver conveniences on the 2LT trim include keyless open and an available remote start system, which makes it easy to hop in and enjoy your drive.
