Body Styles
The 2019 Chevy Spark continues to be offered as a four-door hatchback in the mini car (A segment). There are, however, variances within the same body style between the regular model (LS, LT trim levels) and the Spark ACTIV.
The Spark ACTIV features unique front and rear fascias with accents influenced by off-road skid plates, as well as a unique wheel design and a revised suspension that increases the ride height by 0.4-inch (10 mm). Additional unique content includes:
Platform
Like all second-generation units of the Chevrolet Spark, the 2019 Spark continues to ride on GM’s Gamma 2 platform shared with the following vehicles:
Production
The 2019 Chevy Spark is assembled by GM Korea at the GM Changwon factory in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea (South Korea).
Availability
The 2019 Chevy Spark follows the regular GM model year rollover sequence, and launches in the third quarter of the 2018 calendar year.
Beyond 2019
We expect that the current-, second-generation Chevrolet Spark will at least remain in its current form, except for a few minor updates, for the 2020 and 2021 model years, as we do not expect the all-new, future Chevy Spark to launch until the 2022-2023 model years, potentially as a crossover-like vehicle.
