Chevrolet Spark Review: More value from the LT - Performance

Reviewed by Shawn Jooste

Performance

What sets the spark apart from it’s competitors is the fact that it has a 4-cylinder engine rather than a 3-cylinder engine which seems to be standard for the smaller 1.2-litre engines. From the 1.2-litre engine in the Spark they manage to produce 60kW (all the Sparks in the range have the same engine), which is as standard as the 108Nm of torque. Despite this, the spark goes quite well around town. Because it’s so small and so light you have more than enough power under the hood to get you along. Problems start though once you begin up hill, you really need to drop a few gears and plant the right foot to get yourself up the hill.
