2011 Chevrolet Spark
The 2011 Chevrolet Spark
Chevy's version of the mini-car concept is coming to life a five door Chevrolet Spark, a new small car from General Motors. The production version of the Chevrolet Spark is 143.3 inches long and has a 93.5-inch wheelbase (compared to the Mini which has 97.1 inch wheelbase). When the Spark goes on sale in Europe, it will come with a 1.0 liter or 1.2 liter 16-valve four cylinder DOHC gasoline engine. The Spark features Chevy's two tier grille setup and wheel arches that can handle up to a 15 inch wheel.The Spark's integrated rear door handles are into the upper part of the door in an effort to preserve the vehicle's rear-flank lines. Out back, there's an integrated tailgate spoiler and a new take on Chevrolet's trademark round taillight setup. Despite its compact size, General Motors insists the Spark will have a spacious cabin with interior noise levels on par with larger vehicles. The cabin is highlighted by the Spark's motorcycle-themed, steering wheel mounted instrument cluster and dual cockpit layout. The 2011 Chevrolet Spark is expected to arrive in European dealerships early 2010, followed by other regions including the U.S. reportedly sometime in 2011. A bigger engine for the U.S. market is reported using GM's 1.4L four cylinder engine.
