The new model also features roof rails, rocker moldings and standard fog lamps.
“The new Spark Activ is all about adventurous fun and style,” said Steve Majoros, Chevrolet director of car and crossover marketing. “It has an attitude, while still offering the sophisticated, efficient and connected driving experience customers have come to love.”

Fuel economy is estimated at 29 mpg city and 37 highway with the manual and 30 city/37 highway with the CVT. The Korean-built minicar has 27.2 cubic feet of load space behind the front seats when the rear bench is lowered.
