Chevy’s next generation Spark sub-compact hatch will have its world premiere on April 2 simultaneously at the New York and Seoul auto shows.
If we put a digital spotlight on the single teaser released by GM, it becomes obvious that the undisguised Chevrolet Spark that was spied in Korea last month was indeed the production car (see it here).
GM said that the new 2016 Spark is more mature than the car it replaces with a “more sophisticated aesthetic that reflects the changing tastes of the global minicar market”.
Michael Simcoe, GM International vice president of Design, elaborated: “The new Spark’s design has evolved and grown up with the segment. The youthful whimsy of the original Spark is still in its genes, but it is conveyed in more traditional proportions that reinforce the customer’s refined expectations.”
The new Spark shares its underpinnings with GM’s European market Opel Karl and Vauxhall Viva that had their world debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Across the pond, these two city cars are offered exclusively with a 75PS (74hp) 1.0 liter 3-cylinder ECOTEC gasoline engine.
