Chevrolet Spark
The Chevrolet Spark is the very first city car from the domestic automaker. The ultra-tiny Chevrolet Spark targets urban dwellers seeking a mix of hatchback practicality and sub-subcompact size to help reduce their parking footprint and fuel consumption. The front-wheel drive Spark uses a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder engine that grinds out 84 horsepower and 83 lb-ft of torque, managed by either a five-speed manual or a four-speed auto transmission.
