Design of the Chevrolet Spark Car

The Chevrolet Spark's design is based on the Daewoo Tico. Chevy adopted the design to be able to offer a city-friendly car with much better gas mileage.
The Chevrolet Spark Car comes with a one speed direct transmission, automatic CVT (continuously variable transmission) or five speed manual transmission. There are two major engines, a completely electric 140 horsepower engine or a 1.2 liter four cylinder 84 horsepower engine. (Europeans have the option of a 1.0 liter engine.)
The 1.2 liter engine gets around 39 miles per gallon. The electric version has a range of around 80 miles on a single charge.
It accelerates more slowly than traditional gas powered cars, getting from 0 to 60 in eleven seconds. The CVT transmission does better than the all electric version on this metric. The electric version has a “hill assist” option that kicks in when the car is going up hill, as well as the ability to partially recharge the battery based on power generated by breaking.
