Chevrolet Spark – It’s more than just looks!

Entering the Indian small car market at a time when the market was being led by big and proven brands such as Maruti Wagon R, Swift, etc., Chevrolet Spark has made a place for itself in the market. It mostly stands out because of its dynamic looks, funky interiors and affordable pricing. Spark surely made way for the launch of Maruti’s global concept car Maruti Suzuki A-Star, which is quite similar to Spark when it comes to looks and the peppy interiors.

Chevrolet Spark is surely a dynamic car with spacious interiors which are equipped with good quality materials being used in the interiors. Inspite of being a small sized compact car, Chevrolet Spark is quite spacious! High quality steel being used in the car adds to its dynamism and gives the car a light weight and required balance.

When it comes to the body of Spark, it surely is among the best cars available in the market. Tension beam, shock absorbers with trailing arms give the car a much better stability, even when its travelling on rough roads. Presently, Chevrolet Spark petrol version is available in a single engine option that is a 1.0 Litre, 8V, SOHC Smart-TEC engine. The mill is equipped with several innovative technologies including Dual Distributor Less Ignition System (DDLI), Sequential MPFI, Advanced Optical Sensor and Motorized Throttle Intake System (MTIS). It is interesting to note that the Smart-Tec powertrain increases the max engine power and torque which result in a zippy pick-up and performance. This also ensures that the engine operation is smooth, noiseless, fuel-efficient, powerful, and reliable and maintenance free.

Chevrolet Spark comes equipped with a 995cc petrol engine. The 995cc, 8 valve engine competes with Maruti A-Star, Estilo and Hyundai Santro. No doubt, Maruti Suzuki A-Star’s next-generation lightweight KB10 engine has proved to be the technology of the millennium! Spark’s engine gives a maximum power of 63PS @ 5400rpm and a maximum torque of 90.3 Nm @ 4200 rpm. This great looking compact car is mated with a five-speed manual gearbox.
