The official online configurator for the 2022 Chevy Spark is now live, allowing interested customers to spec theirs to taste and explore the various options on offer.
Compared to the preceding 2021 model year, the 2022 Chevy Spark offers three new exterior colors, namely Crimson Metallic, Blue Glow Metallic, and Nitro Yellow Metallic. The three new hues arrive as replacements for three outgoing colors, specifically Passion Fruit, Toasted Marshmallow, and Caribbean Blue.
Beyond the exterior paint change up, the rest of the vehicle remains unchanged. The 2022 Chevy Spark arrives as the ninth model year of the current generation, previously receiving a refresh for the 2019 model year. The body style continues as a four-door hatchback in the mini car A segment.
Looking over the trim level cadence, the ACTIV trim stands out for its unique wheel design, unique front and rear fascia, off-road skid plates, and revised suspension, the latter of which raises the vehicle’s ride height by an additional 0.4 inches (10mm). The rest of the trim level lineup includes the LS, 1LT, and 2LT.
Motivation is sourced from the naturally aspirated 1.4L I4 LV7 gasoline engine, which produces 98 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 94 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm. Both a five-speed manual and a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) are offered. Under the skin, the 2022 Chevy Spark rides on the GM Gamma 2 platform.
Production of the 2022 Chevy Spark got underway at the GM Changwon plant in South Korea on June 7th, as GM Authority covered previously.
Following the departure of the Fiat 500, the Chevy Spark and Mitsubishi Mirage are the only remaining models in the U.S. mainstream city car segment. So far, the Bow Tie brand product has outsold the Mitsubishi in a nearly two-to-one ration, with first quarter sales for the 2021 calendar year revealing 11,505 units sold for the Spark, and 6,932 units sold for the Mirage.

Do you have any 2022Chevy Sparks in stock?
Good to see it’s still being made. The Spark is a competent little car. We had a 2016 model until recently and it was refined on the road, a good handler, and very reliable.
A correction to the article: this is the seventh year of this generation, not the ninth. This gen debuted in ’16
A low cost EV would be more desirable then a sub 100hp car. Does Marry Barra know what she’s doing?
I have a 2019 chery spark passion color bought it in 2018 for Christmas…may get the 2022 in a new color…so happy with the gas mileage
I have a 2013, love it👍🏼 Just not a highway car
Do not buy the 2021 Mitsubishi Mirage. The hatchback version of the Mirage costs more than the Chevy Spark by about $1500 but is mechanically inferior to the Spark.
…
In fact, the prices of the Mitsubishi Mirage sedan and the Nissan Versa are identical, but the Versa is superior. Its 4-cylinder engine is more reliable and runs quieter than the Mirage’s 3-cylinder engine.
…
Mitsubishi loaded the Mirage with accessories that are not mandated by law in order to raise the price beyond $16,000 (and to fatten the profit margin).
…
Mitsubishi could easily produce a high-quality low-end car that is priced below the Versa. Mitsubishi has an alliance with Nissan. The engineers at Mitsubishi could just take the Nissan Sentra of the early 1990s, upgrade the engine to improve its already good reliability, refrain from adding any accessories not mandated by law, and price the car at $8995.
…
For this kind of barebones car, there is a large market among college students and working-class families.
Would be nice if they brought back the Spark EV with a newer battery pack that could give 150 range to compete with the Mini EV and could beat Tesla to the $25K hatchback. My 2016 Spark EV is a great city/urban car with 4 doors and being taller than a Mini would make it a better choice especially if they used the same 140hp 327 lb ft of torque motor.
Hi GM we miss you in South Africa when are you likely to come back again? I have a 2017 spark campus and it still runs like new. I would like to own the new model some day it really looks beautiful.
To every one ( like me) who bought and liked the Spark, , have any issues? mine only have 6000 miles on it and bought brand new, suffering EVAP issue ( P0446) and not gas tank cap, what’s even worse, it automatically blow off the gas door cover ( not the cap of course) open 4 times last week. choke closed high tank pressure induce the gas cap autmatically relief. Seems to me either vent valve or less likely purge vale is the guilt. , I did extensive research( including knowing this website since and bookmarked) before buying the little cutie, but nobody mentioned about its bad reliability,
I’m a very careful driver and never do anything bad to it. Quite shockingly, comparing to a Toyota or Honda, which never had any issues for well over 60ooo miles, not 6000 miles. is it only me the miserable or it is a problematic car. Experts, please weigh in.
