With its standard set of smartphone-friendly features and commute-friendly mileage, the 2021 Chevrolet Spark is a hatchback for the modern era. Shoppers who want a great price on peppy performance and parking-friendly dimensions will drive away happy.
Highlights:
Just how thrifty is the 2021 Chevrolet Spark? Very! With its peppy 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine and the continuously variable transmission, this little hatchback earns up to 33 mpg combined (30 city/38 highway mpg). Fun-loving drivers can choose the five-speed manual transmission, which also helps you earn 33 mpg combined (29/38 mpg).
Around town, the Spark’s 98 horsepower and 94 pound-feet of torque strike a balance between get-up-and-go and thrifty commuting. This hatchback is also a skilled mover and shaker, handling tight corners and swerving highways with impressive control.
The 2021 Chevrolet Spark is a small modern hatchback, perfect for squeaking into parallel parking spaces and navigating jam-packed, fast-moving traffic flows. You can dress up its sporty exterior with options like 15-inch wheels, a sunroof, chrome door handles, and foglights.
Its parking-friendly dimensions are undeniable, but the Spark cabin is arranged to provide maximum passenger space. What does that mean for you? Up front, it means a healthy supply of head- and legroom. All seats are nicely padded, with enough cushion to weather even the longest trips. Behind the rear seats, cargo space comes in at 11.1 cubic feet. Fold those seats down for up to 27.2 cubes of maximum space.
In this department, the 2021 Chevrolet Spark is a true segment standout. If you’re looking for a great price on connectivity, you’ve certainly found it, because the Spark comes standard with a Wi-Fi hotspot* and the Chevrolet Link 3 infotainment system with a 7-inch touch screen and smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. That means you can use your phone’s voice controls and navigation features directly through the central system. And you’ll always be able to keep devices charged, thanks to standard USB connectivity.
And every Spark comes with a secure safety net, compliments of the standard OnStar** emergency telematics system. When you’re in need of roadside assistance or emergency services, OnStar is quick to help. OnStar includes:
Safety aids, such as forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, are available for the top-trim Spark 2LT—just add the Driver Confidence package (more on this below).
*After a trial period, monthly or annual fees apply**While the OnStar system is standard equipment, you must subscribe to use its services. Various subscription plans are available.
The 2021 Spark is available as five trim models—LS, 1LT, Activ, and 2LT—each of which adds a little bit more comfort and convenience to your drive. Here’s a look at some of the highlights of each model:
Note: this package is only available for the 2LT with the automatic transmission!
Peace of mind is a staple of the 2021 Chevrolet Spark. You’ll appreciate this modern hatchback’s impressive safety net—the kind of warranty coverage that will keep you chugging along for years to come without any hassle.
We expect Chevrolet to redesign the Spark for the 2023 model year. Check back for more info!
