In 2005, Chevrolet presented a brisk baby for the metropolis - Spark, which means "Iskra" in Russian. This car is the smallest in the range of Chevrolet models. Spark was designed by the ItalDesign studio.

The car looks fresh, non-trivial, and inviting. The original design of the front end, the beautiful headlights of the unusual shape, the cute round taillights: the Spark simply shines with friendliness. Rounded interior lines and a symmetrical center console emphasize the inviting interior

Comfortable insidebut not at all cramped, despite the Spark's modest dimensions. The high seating position allows four people to sit inside. At the same time, the interior offers a lot of opportunities for transformation and easily neutralizes the relatively small volume of the luggage compartment, which can be changed in the range from 170 to 845 liters.

If we talk about the driver's seat, then the seat is equipped with all the necessary adjustments, and it moves within wide limits. So even the fixed "tightly" steering column does not interfere with getting comfortable and correctO. Instruments and controls of the car are divided into two groups. The first, located directly in front of the driver, includes controls, indicators and signaling devices. The second group, cleverly placed in the middle of the front panel and visible from all passenger seats, contains instruments - there are both analog gauges and digital displays. The displays can be blue, green or orange, depending on which interior and exterior color the customer chooses.

In addition, the dashboard fits perfectly.It goes into the interior, since, in fact, it is a continuation, or rather, the beginning of the center console. Immediately under the flap there are round ventilation deflectors, an audio system and a small compartment for small things. Slightly below is the air conditioning control unit, and under it are two cup holders and one more "luggage recess". In general, the entire lower part of the front panel is a compact shelf, which, together with a spacious glove compartment, pockets in the doors, drawers under the front seats and nets on the backs of the seats, solves the problem of placing smalloh luggage.

Spark has obvious and undeniable advantages in tight metropolitan streets and parking. The car is only 3.5 meters long.

The Spark is equipped with a choice of two responsive and reliable engines that meet Euro IV emission standards. The economical 0.8-liter 38 kW (51 hp) engine is great for city driving. The 48 kW (65 hp) liter engine is an excellent choice for those who are going to travel both in the metropolis and in the countryside. For vehicles with three-cylinder power units alsoa four-speed automatic transmission is offered.

Spark is also a car with a full range of passive and active safety features.

The passive safety of the car is based on a strong frame that protects the passenger compartment. The new Spark is able to reliably protect the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. Methods of redistribution and absorption of impact energy when the vehicle is struck from the front, from the side or from behind have been carefully thought out. The list of passive safety of the car includes front airbags for the driver and front passenger; bnew airbags; three-point seat belts and head restraints for all five seats; pretensioners and force limiters for front seat belts (electronically controlled); energy-absorbing deformable steering column and knee pads. All Spark versions boast a wide range of additional equipment, which includes: ABS system, power steering, a set of passive safety devices, power windows for the frontwindows and central electric lock with remote control. Depending on the version, Spark can be equipped with comfort devices such as air conditioning, audio system with CD-player and power windows for the rear windows. Spark is protected from theft by an immobilizer and high-strength glass.

All vehicles are offered a full 2-year unlimited mileage warranty and a 6-year body warranty against corrosive penetration.

In 2010, the company updated the Spark model. The car is based on a modernized platformma GM for ultra-compact cars, which was developed by the Asian branch of GM-DAT. The design of the car was chosen by potential consumers - in 2007, Internet users voted for one of three concepts (Beat, Trax and Groove), the first one became the chosen one, which eventually gave life to the new Spark. Incidentally, this is the first Chevrolet model with a 3-year warranty.

Exterior survived by the cardinalth changes. The design has become more modern and expressive. Now Spark will not get lost in the bustling city traffic of a large metropolis. Disguised in the C-pillar, the door handles not only add originality to the look, but also show that the Spark's look is in line with the latest automotive fashion trends.

Compact on the outside, this car can accommodate 5 adult passengers inside. The main trump card of the Spark interior is the original style. For example, the instrument cluster here is like a motorcycle: an analog speedometer is combinedXia with a digital display, which displays the engine speed scale and auxiliary information. It is noteworthy that the instruments have moved from the middle of the front panel to their familiar place in front of the driver's eyes. The position of the steering column changes only in height, the range is small, but this drawback is partially compensated for by the vertically adjustable driver's seat cushion. Only cheap finishing materials indicate the availability of the car: hard plastic corresponds to the model class.

In addition to pockets, the front doors have recesses for standard 1.5 liter bottles. And in the front panel, in addition to the central niche, there are a couple of shelves on the sides. The trunk volume remains the same - 170 liters. If the rear sofa (60:40 fold-out) is folded down, the space increases to 994 liters. A full-size spare wheel is hidden under the boot floor.

Vibration load is noticeably lower than that ofpredecessor.
