Muscat,
Oman–
Chevrolet Spark is the perfect choice for younger,
first-time owners looking for the greater freedom
and fun that having your own car allows.
Although one of the smaller members
of Chevrolet’s comprehensive small car range, the
Spark brings with it all the reliability, performance
and value-for-money that are the hallmarks of the
Chevrolet line-up.
The Spark features a progressive
design that attracts immediate attention. The
exterior, characterized by short
overhangs and steeply
rising shoulder lines, conveys a striking personality.
Converging feature lines in the hood extend through
to the front side windows, adding tension
and dynamism to the side view. The
design also features emotional elements that give it
an unmistakable ‘smiling face.’
Along with a bold bumper design
and large air intake, the front of the Spark is dominated
by striking round headlights with a large lens effect.
The front headlight design is matched at the rear
by signature round taillights.
Chevrolet Spark also features a
unique cockpit design. The operating elements of
the design are divided into two parts. In the driver's
direct area of vision is the control and warning
light unit. Strikingly
positioned in the centre of the dashboard and easily
visible to all passengers are the speedometer and
instruments.
Due to its intelligent packaging
and long wheelbase
of 2,345 millimetres, the Spark offers
a comparatively large amount of space and a feeling
of roominess. The rear seat backrest can be divided
in a 60:40 ratio, enabling longer objects to be easily
transported. The interior also offers a number of
clever storage locations, with shelves, trays, and
bottle and can-holders. The ashtray can be placed in
one of three locations or removed altogether.
In addition to its funky European-inspired
style, diverse colour palette and striking design
elements, the Spark boasts
remarkable fuel economy and affordability as
well as an impressive array of comfort and convenience
features, proving once and for all that bigger isn’t
necessarily always better.
Chevrolet has developed an economical
yet powerful engine exclusively for the Spark. A low
curb weight and aerodynamic styling give the Spark
the unmatched fuel efficiency. The powertrain maximizes
power and torque at lower speeds, especially when
combined with the four-speed automatic transmission,
which was especially developed for the Spark. Featuring
an overdrive function, the state-of-the-art transmission
drives the front wheels and makes the Spark ideal
for both commuting in congested city traffic and
for open highways.
The Spark
offers strong protection in the event of an accident.
It all centres
on the stable passenger cell, which is made predominantly
of high-strength steel. This not only ensures greater
rigidity and stability but also lowers the weight
of the body shell. Advanced
high-strength steel is used for the A-pillar, front-impact
beam, centre tunnel and floor panel sides.
At under 4m in length, the Spark
is the smallest Chevrolet to arrive in the region,
but thanks to its intelligent packaging and long wheelbase,
this member of the brand’s line-up proves that the
Spark can pack a big punch, with its surprisingly
spacious and endlessly versatile interior.
