Chevrolet
has made it clear that 2019MY Spark isn’t going anywhere just yet. The mid-life
refresh, which comes three years after the fourth generation was first
introduced, receives new color choices, a fresh face with an updated grille and
chrome surrounds, and modded taillights. Upper levels benefit from LED DRLs,
which sit lower than before, and projector-style headlamps.
Offered in four flavors, the 2019 Chevrolet Spark
comes with standard air conditioning, reversing camera and 10 airbags.
Additionally, the manufacturer has made Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking
standard, as a segment-exclusive. It joins the optional Driver Confidence
Package, which features Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning.
The city car doesn’t lack connectivity features
either, and comes equipped with an infotainment system that offers Android Auto
and Apple CarPlay support, along with limited OnStar trial and access to the
MyChevrolet mobile app.
Powering the 2019 Chevrolet Spark is a 1.4-liter
four-cylinder engine that makes 98 hp, and is married to either a
five-speed manual transmission or a CVT. Just like the refreshed Malibu, the
Spark will go on sale in the coming months. Pricing has yet to be announced,
but the extra features will probably make it a bit more expensive than the
current iteration, which starts at US$ 13,050 in base form.
