There are no significant changes this year. 

What Features in the 2021 Chevrolet Spark Are Most Important?

  • Small size is ideal for city driving 
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity 
  • 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot (data trial included)
  • Air conditioning
  • Power moonroof available
  • Low-speed automatic emergency braking available
