Although one of the smaller members
of Chevrolet’s comprehensive small car range, the 2007
Spark brings with it all the reliability, performance
and value-for-money that are the hallmarks of the Chevrolet
line-up.
Eye-catching Design and Versatile
Interior
The new 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 , add ing 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 new 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.
The 2007 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 new 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.
Unmatched Fuel Economy and
Value for Money
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 new 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 new four-speed automatic transmission,
which was especially developed for the new 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.
Enhanced Safety
The Spark offers strong protection in the event of
an accident. It all centre GB s 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.
Other safety features in the new Spark
include driver, passenger and side air bags, three-point
seat belts and head restraints for all five seats,
electrically operated pretensioners, belt force limiters
in the front and the latest-generation four-channel
anti-lock brake system from Bosch
Comfort and Convenience Amplified
Features on the 2007 Spark include power-assisted steering
, electrically operated front windows , central locking
and a height-adjustable driver’s seat and seat belt.
It also boasts a range of convenience features normally
found only in much larger and more expensive cars,
including fully automatic air conditioning and an
audio system featuring both CD and MP3 player .
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.
