Small car Renaissance, part 1: Chevrolet Spark to debut in February

January 25,2011

Chevrolet’s all-new subcompact Spark hatchback is coming to the Philippines in February. Actually, the Spark has been previewed extensively before its upcoming official debut. The “aggressive and edgy” (Chevy’s words) should help distinguish this car from the pack, and this includes the hidden rear door handles that make it look like a three-door. Inside, the motorcycle-style instrument panel with “ice-blue” backlighting gives a bit of modern vibe. Engine choices will likely be a 1.0-liter with 68 bhp, or a 1.2-liter with 81 bhp.

It’s going to be an interesting face-off between the Korean-made Spark and its compatriot, the new Kia Picanto.
