Overview
- What: an all-new Chevrolet Spark A-segment hatchback that will represent the third generation of the nameplate, after the second-gen Spark was introduced for the 2016 model year
- When: we expect the next Spark to launch in the 2022 calendar year as a 2022-2023 model year vehicle; the vehicle is likely not a priority to be redesigned by GM, since next-generation crossover utility vehicles (CUVs) are currently the focus
- Why: an all-new Spark will enable Chevrolet to continue building its presence in the A-segment car space
- Where: sold in all current markets where the Spark is currently sold, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, select markets in Central and South America, as well as the Middle East

Following are our expectations about the future Chevrolet Spark:

- All-new exterior design, available as a four-door hatchback
- All-new interior design
- Inclusion of next-generation MyLink infotainment system
