R U going to buy the Spark? The Spark comes with a three-year or 100,000 kilometre service warranty, one of the best in the industry. There are four variants available - starting from the barebones version Spark 1.0 E at an ex showroom price of Rs 1.1 lakh in Delhi. Very good, but you don't even get an AC in that version. Then come the Spark 1.0, the 1.0 LS and the 1.0 LT - these are the ones you should consider. So you have an ex-showroom price of 3.32 lakh on the 1.0 Spark, going up to 3.9 on the Spark 1.0 LT version. Got a bit of extra cash lying around, and go for the LT with the optional pack, which will cost 4.25 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. If you were always a Matiz lover, you SHOULD buy the Spark. No questions asked. On the other hand, if you are stuck between the Estilo, Santro and similar, think about what matters more to you - power, space, economy, looks and try to come to a decision based on all the parameters.

Are You Going to buy a Chevrolet Car in India ???

Inside View , Speedo Console, Visual Field, Seat Management of chevrolet-spark



Inside View is mostly grey and black. Keep yourself down in the driver's seat, you will notice that the speedo console which is placed smack above the centrally located AC vents. Visual Area is not shortened. The average driver would feel comfortable with the seat and legroom, and legroom in the rear too comfortable for passengers. However, try to seat three in rear seat, and you may face some crowding issues. The rear seat in the Spark does that 6:40 folding bit. A good thing for carting slightly big things around at the rear.

Chevrolet Spark: Engine and specifications:
The Chevrolet Spark has got rid of the three cylinder engine of the old Matiz - and in its place is a new 995 cc four cylinder engine that produces more power than the newly released Fiat Palio Stile 1.1. You get 62.13 bhp (48.5 KW) at 5400 rpm, and 9.02 kgm (90.3 NM) of torque at 4200 rpm which are very decent for a car in this class. The five speed manual gearbox is quite capable and well-sorted out, and most auto mags have said that the Spark drives well, and the car feels sure-footed for something this small.
