The Spark Activ is a slightly more rugged variant of the Chevrolet Spark. Chevy describes the vehicle as a “versatile, connected mini-car, featuring trail-inspired accents and upscale features that complement its urban-chic design.”

“The new Spark ACTIV is all about adventurous fun and style,” said Steve Majoros, Chevrolet director of Car and Crossover Marketing. “It has an attitude, while still offering the sophisticated, efficient and connected driving experience customers have come to love.”

The Spark Activ features unique front and rear fascias with accents influenced by off-road skidplates, as well as a new 15-inch wheel design and a revised suspension that increases the ride height by 0.4 inch (10 mm).

Additional unique content includes:

  • Specific grille pattern with ACTIV nameplate
  • Round fog lamps and fog lamp housings integrated in the front fascia
