Oshawa, Ontario (Friday, April 6, 2018) — An updated face and new available active safety technology for the 2019 Spark add attitude and purpose to Chevrolet’s feisty, segment sales-leading mini-car.
“The Spark is easily personalized by customers, one of the main reasons it leads its segment in sales, attracting both young buyers and women to the brand,” said Jamie Dewhurst, brand manager, Chevrolet Cars in Canada. “Spark offers great safety, technology and connectivity features at an excellent price point for customers seeking an affordable car.”
Spark’s fresh front-end styling takes its cues from the Chevrolet line, while new, available Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking1 can help drivers prevent or reduce the severity of low-speed front-end collisions by applying the brakes or enhancing the driver’s braking.
The new styling boosts Spark’s premium appearance with a rich use of chrome in the grille. Available projector-style headlamps further enhance Spark’s chic styling. The available LED daytime running lamps are moved lower, giving Spark a more powerful presence and a family resemblance to the rest of the Chevrolet car lineup.
At the rear, dual-element taillamps further the signature brand cue. Spark continues its tradition of offering customer personalization through bright and distinctive paint colors.
The 2019 Spark is offered in LS, LT and 2LT trims. All trims feature standard rear-vision camera system, 10 standard airbags2 and MyLink 7-inch radio system.
New, segment-exclusive Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking joins the available Driver Confidence Package, complementing the package’s additional active safety features, Forward Collision Alert1 and Lane Departure Warning. 1
When it comes to connectivity, Spark delivers a standard Chevrolet infotainment system featuring phone integration compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a limited trial of OnStar and connectivity access at no additional cost, plus access to the MyChevrolet mobile app.
Spark is powered by a 1.4L DOHC engine offered with a manual transmission or an available continuously variable transmission (CVT).
The refreshed Spark joins the 2019 Malibu, Cruze and Camaro as part of Chevrolet’s updated car portfolio, which offers new styling, new technologies and more choices and value. It goes on sale later this year
FAST FACT: Spark customers are among the youngest in the segment, and 65 percent of Spark buyers are women — the highest rate in the segment.
