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).
Powertrain
The 2021 Chevy Spark is offered with a single engine choice:
Engine | Fuel | Aspiration | Transmission | Horsepower @ RPM | Torque @ RPM | Axle |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1.4L I-4 LV7 | Gasoline | Atmospheric | 5-Speed Manual (MR7) | 98 @ 6200 | 94 @ 4400 | 3.91 |
1.4L I-4 LV7 | Gasoline | Atmospheric | Continuously Variable Transmission / CVT (MR8) | 98 @ 6200 | 94 @ 4400 | 3.76 |

Beyond 2021
