The all-new 2016 Chevrolet Spark is a completely redesigned version of itself. Featuring new optional safety features to help protect those inside, as well as a more efficient powertrain, the Spark gives customers features and technology typically overlooked in its segment.

The new Spark has a sleeker appearance, thanks to a slightly longer wheelbase, and an overall height approximately 1.6 inches lower than the previous model. The lower profile reduces aerodynamic drag to help improve efficiency and interior changes maintain the Spark's traditionally generous headroom.

It is also built on an all-new, more robust architecture that serves as the foundation for its more sophisticated driving experience. The stronger body structure enables engineers to tune ride and handling more precisely, for greater feelings of control and refinement, while fostering a quieter ride.

New phone integration technology displays content from Apple iPhone 5 or later models on the multicolor screen through the Android Auto and Apple CarPlay features. Supported apps include phone, messages, maps, music and compatible third-party apps.

An all-new 1.4L engine (part of GM's new, global family of Ecotec small-displacement engines) powers the 2016 Spark. It offers an estimated 98 horsepower, which is a 16-percent increase over the previous model. A five-speed manual transmission is standard and a dual-range continuously variable transmission is available with the new engine.
