our expert's take

What Is the 2020 Chevrolet Spark?

The Chevrolet Spark is a subcompact hatchback that can seat up to four people. It’s powered by a 98-horsepower, 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that works with a five-speed manual transmission. A continuously variable automatic transmission is optional. Competitors include the Mitsubishi Mirage and Kia Rio.

What’s New on the 2020 Chevrolet Spark?

There are no significant changes.

What Features in the 2020 Chevrolet Spark Are Most Important?

The Spark’s small size makes it ideal for city living. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot (data trial included) make it easy to stay connected on the road.

Should I Buy the 2020 Chevrolet Spark?

If you are willing to give up space and performance for an inexpensive car that you can drive around in an urban area, the Spark might be for you. If you don’t want to make as many compromises, a larger compact hatchback might be a better choice.

    A fuel efficient 5 speed for today!

    First of all, I am a stick guy. I bought a 5 speed 2021 Spark, I prefer shifting and have been for over 50 years. I get 40+mpg most of the time. I am 68, and our family has full sized pickup, full size SUV and other vehicles. So not my only car, but the most fuel efficient. It is the one I want to take especially when driving alone. I pull trailers with other vehicles, but am very pleased this small car is so efficient and even with a small 4 cyl and reviews of underpowered, when you know how to use the manual transmission, it can have plenty of passing power. I am an engineer and understand, a simple fuel efficient car is not going to accelerate like a muscle car, and don’t expect it to!

    My experience with my spark

    I have had my spark for almost a year. About a month after i got it my cousin wanted to ride in my car she went to fasten the seabelt because i will tell u to get out. It fasten. Mind you it was night time was slowing down on a back road for a intersection a deer pops out. I slam hard on my brakes my steering will jerks both ways on this gravel road and her seat belt comes flying off hits the windshield and freaks us both out. Then wouldn't click back no matter how many times we try for over an hour until we give up and she rides in the back the rest of the way to home. I am afraid to let anyone ride shot gun in my car ever after that. The ones who do know they can't because my pasenger seat belt doesn't All ways latch or comes undone after it is fastened. I agree also with the acceleration of my car as All ways. Was at a stop light at the bottom of a hill in cinncinati ohio picking up a relative. It turned green a four lane road making a turn it took a min just so it would accelerate and i almost get t-boned when a person ran a red light That day. I love the gas mileage since i drive up to an hour to an hour and a half to work 5 to 7 days a week.

    Love the handling, ease of operation

    I'm a GM fan. Yes, like all makers, they've made crap at times. This 2020 Spark is not one. In fact, I had a 2017 Spark with a 5 speed manual. I taught my 7 yr old little girl to drive a stick-shift. (It took a year.) That one was t-boned in an accident at the beginning of the COVID hysteria. I miss it and so does my little girl. I'm not a fan of CVT's or any automatic for that matter. But, for the money, styling, and technology, standard equipment (rear camera, bluetooth, decent sound system and more) mileage and (extra cost) color, I really like it! For vacations, we have a large GMC SUV. The little "Blue Ball" (named by the wife and little girl) is my run-my-errands and go to work car. The old white Spark was the "Spit Ball"(also named by the wife and little girl). This is NOT a family car.
