Introducing the 2021 Chevy Spark, a compact car that performs big. The Spark is agile and energetic. It has the latest tech to keep you in the know and connected. Plus it comes with all the comfort and convenience you desire. Here's a closer look at what makes the 2021 Chevy Spark a small but mighty vehicle.

Curb Appeal

The Chevy Spark's colorful paint choices will turn heads. Mystic Blue, Cayenne Orange, Passion Fruit, and Toasted Marshmallow are just a few of the 10 colors available, plus the Spark offers a two-tone painted roof option. It features a sporty and aggressive front fascia with Halogen projector-beam headlights, daytime running lights, and fog lamps. Its sculpted side and low center of gravity give it an athletic posture. The roofline slopes slightly to end in a roof-mounted rear spoiler for style and performance. It rides on 15-inch Black-painted alloy wheels and the LED taillights complete the lighting package.

Agile Performance

Chevy equipped the Spark with a 1.4-liter ECOTEC inline four-cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection. It comes with your choice of a 5-speed manual transmission for a more thrilling drive or a continuously variable transmission for smooth, effortless performance. This powertrain gives you 98 horsepower and 94 pound-feet of torque. Its small stature makes it easy to navigate those busy city streets and crowded parking lots, while its impressive powertrain has plenty of zip to get you around quickly. Four-wheel anti-lock brakes, a front-wheel-drive platform, and an electronic traction control system put you in control of your Spark, even in adverse driving conditions.

Interior Comfort and Convenience

Slipping into the cabin of the Spark, you immediately feel the comfort of the premium cloth fabric. If you want, you can upgrade to leatherette in a variety of styles. Heated seats are standard on the upper trims and are available on lower models. Your infotainment center features a 7-inch touch screen that controls all your tech. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability allow you to send and receive calls, access your favorite apps, stream your music playlists, and do even more, hands-free. Your Spark can turn into a 4G-LTE Wi-Fi hot spot and can connect multiple devices within a 50-foot range.

Driver-Assist Features

Now your Spark can be equipped with the latest driver-assist technologies available. A Forward Collision Alert system uses forward-facing sensors to monitor the road ahead. When it detects a potential collision it will send visual and audio alerts. It will also alert you when you are following the vehicle ahead too closely. Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) works in tandem with the Forward Collision Alert system. When the Forward Collision Alert system is activated, the Automatic Emergency Braking system is engaged. Should you fail to react in time, the AEB system will apply additional emergency brake support to help mitigate or avoid a possible impact. The Spark's Lane Departure Warning system uses cameras mounted high on your windshield to track your Spark while traveling within marked lanes. When it detects an unintentional drift, it alerts you. The Spark may be small, but it out-performs the competition in a mighty way. Come test drive one today and see why. Image via Chevrolet.

They both use hidden sensors located in the rear corner of your vehicle that can detect moving vehicles beside and behind you. When the sensors are activated, a warning symbol will appear on the side view mirror corresponding to the side where the system has detected a vehicle. If you turn your turn signal on, the symbol will flash to indicate that it is not safe to change lanes. These warning symbols are helpful in preventing lane change collisions.
