Body Styles

The 2021 Chevrolet 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).

Beyond 2021

We expect that the second-generation Chevrolet Spark will at least remain in its current form for one or two more years as we expect the all-new, future Chevy Spark to launch during the 2022-2023 model years, potentially as a crossover-like vehicle.
