Design and technical characteristics of Chevrolet-Spark

The second generation of compact city hatchbacks "Chevrolet-Spark" was first presented to the public within the framework of the international auto show that was held in Geneva. This event took place in 2009. Before the Russian space, the novelty reached only a year later when at the Moscow motor show the concern "General Motors" officially introduced its new hatchback "Chevrolet-Spark". The characteristics of the engines of this subcompact, as well as its design and cost, you will learn from our article.

Design

Externally, the car resembles the style of some Japanese anime, where all the characters have huge bright eyes. The new hatchback also got bright and stylish "eyes", which emphasize the whole individuality of the car. Exquisite lines of the shock bumper and radiator grilles are slightly rounded and play on large wheel arches. But despite all the aggression, some drivers compare the design of the novelty with the appearance of a hedgehog. Although if you look at the exterior from the objective side, then we can say with confidence that after the car enters the world market its competitors should seriously consider their appearance, otherwise the "American" will simply drive them out of a number of compact cars. By the way, the body technical characteristics of Chevrolet-Spark have a good safety rating, so there is nothing to do here with the "foam" machines.

Interior

The interior of the novelty has the same success as the exterior. The characteristic wavy lines of the front panel resemble the shape of the seagull's wings. Such a design solution will accurately emphasize the individuality of the owner of the car. In general, the saloon of the hatchback has a well-thought-out arrangement of control buttons on the center console. But still there are minuses in the interior, and for 2 years of operation the drivers managed to note a lot. Among the notable drawbacks of the cabin is a thin 3-spoke steering wheel, which, according to car owners, could be thicker. The second significant disadvantage is the strange construction of the instrument panel. It is more like a dashboard for a moped. Perhaps this was done consciously, for the sake of individuality, but here the developers have clearly overdone it, especially since it does not harmonize with all the other details of the interior.

Technical characteristics of Chevrolet-Spark

The new model line of hatchbacks will be equipped with two four-cylinder engines that run on 95th gasoline. The first unit with its working volume of 1 liter can develop power to only 68 horsepower. Yes, the technical characteristics of Chevrolet-Spark are, of course, rather weak, but still we have one more motor. The unit with a capacity of 1.2 liters and a capacity of 81 horsepower is already pleased with its performance, which meets modern requirements. This motor is equipped with a 5-speed transmission with a mechanical gearshift. "Chevrolet-Spark", whose engine has a volume of 1 liter, will be supplied with one single transmission - 4-band "automatic" box. Such a transmission is simply ideal for modern megacities, because, as practice shows, the constant inclusion of the first transmission in traffic jams can bring even the most staunch driver to hysteria.

Price

Modest technical characteristics of "Chevrolet-Spark" fully correspond to an acceptable price. And it begins with a mark of 415 thousand rubles. The most expensive modification will cost customers 493 thousand rubles.

Technical characteristics of "Chevrolet-Spark" and fashionable design will definitely not be left without attention of motorists.
