Chevrolet is putting a brave face on it. After facing an uncertain future under new management, the American firm can now relax under the protection of a government-backed GM. So what better way to rise from the ashes than launching an all-new model?
The Chevrolet Spark, which replaces the crude and slow Matiz, is an all-new city car designed by the man who penned the chic Fiat 500. It's been created to capture the hearts of a youthful audience and aims to go head-to-head with the Kia Picanto and Hyundai i10.
Inside, the cabin proves that Chevy has turned a creative corner, finely balancing a low-cost approach with a sense of fun.
Prices start from £6,945 and stretch to £9,845, while the options of a low polluting 67bhp 1.0-litre and an 80bhp 1.2-litre should make it among the best in class for running costs.
Chevrolet is confident its tiny city car will be a huge hit this side of the Atlantic. Read on to find out why.
