2021 Chevy Spark Loses These Three Exterior Colors

Three colors formerly available for the 2021 Chevy Spark hatchback can no longer be ordered, GM Authority has learned. The colors are Passion Fruit and Toasted Marshmallow, which were available as standard, and – no doubt to the dismay of Enya fans – Caribbean Blue, which was a $395 option. As of this writing, all three are still shown on the Chevrolet website, though this will likely change very soon.

Chevrolet will replace them with three other colors in the near future, but it has not yet been confirmed what these will be.

This change is unlikely to affect sales of the Chevy Spark, whose popularity seems to be increasing. There was a slight downturn of 5.21 percent in Q4 of 2020 in the U.S., but for the calendar year as a whole, sales rose by 7.02 percent, a performance beaten only by the Blazer, Bolt EV and Corvette among Chevrolet models.

It can’t hurt that the 2021 Chevy Spark is at present the lowest-priced car on sale in the United States. The entry-level LS with manual transmission has an MSRP of $14,790, including a $995 destination freight charge. Its closest rival, the Mitsubishi Mirage ES HB, is priced to start at $15,565 despite being 20 horsepower short and having only seven airbags compared with 10 for the Spark.

However, it’s also true to say that the Chevy Spark is one of the minor players in Chevrolet’s line-up, with just 33,478 sales in 2020. To put that another way, for everyone who bought a Spark last year, nearly 18 more bought a Silverado.

  2. I thought all new cars come painted. So why is there an up charge for even a basic paint color. Auto makers are Nickle and diming us to death.

    1. It’s called, greed. On the other hand, I just ordered a Chrysler Pacifica minivan. The color that I chose, I’ll Perlis white, has no up charge at all. That same color is $1000 on the Cadillac.

  4. You think with the high EPA and the low prices they’d be able to push another $100,000 or so out the door. The dealers obviously don’t want to sell something they make so little money on

  5. This car is hands down the WORST purchase I ever made. 41000 miles in ot needed a new transmission from everyday driving. It has no power. Sounds like you’re in a go cart it has no noise reduction on it you FEEL and hear every bump. Dont hit any pot holes either. It’s horrible. Never buying chevy again.

  8. You certainly nail on the head the upset for those who wanted Caribbean Blue like myself. Was going to buy one with that color in Sept- Oct of this year. I wonder what the new colors will be?

    These type of cars will last if you don’t push them too hard. Same thing with my old 2012 smart fortwo. No issues with its drive train but one of the wheel bearings needs to be replaced after 130,000. Drive them on the freeway and keep them at a steady speed and “open them up” once in a while to keep the internal engine clean.
