Edmunds' Expert Review
Overall rating
If you're looking for a car that's small and efficient, with the creature comforts typically found on much more expensive cars, the 2019 Chevrolet Spark could be just the car for you. Its small size and good outward visibility make it a breeze to park. Excellent smartphone connectivity technology is another draw since every Spark comes standard with a touchscreen infotainment system that has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration.
The Spark, however, does have a couple of drawbacks. Acceleration is sluggish off the line, even for the subcompact class. And while you shouldn't expect loads of interior volume from a car like this, the Spark lacks rear legroom and cargo space behind the rear seatbacks. On the whole, though, the 2019 Chevrolet Spark should satisfy most of your needs. It's an affordable, well-equipped and efficient mode of transportation.
Trim levels & features
The 2019 Chevrolet Spark is available in four trim levels that differ primarily in standard feature content. The Spark LS is the base model, and the 1LT adds more features. The 2LT has more convenience and driver assist functions, while the Activ model increases ground clearance and tacks on roof rails for a more active lifestyle.
All Sparks come with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 98 horsepower and 94 pound-feet of torque. The engine drives the front wheels through either a five-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).
The Spark LS comes with 15-inch steel wheels, air conditioning, a rearview camera, a 7-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a four-speaker audio system, and Chevrolet's OnStar communications system that includes a 4G LTE in-car Wi-Fi hotspot.
The 1LT includes alloy wheels, power accessories (windows, mirrors and door locks), cruise control, remote keyless entry, foglights, and a six-speaker audio system.
Next up is the Activ. It adds simulated-leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, roof rails, special 15-inch wheels and bodywork, and a raised suspension that provides 0.4 inch of additional ground clearance.
Alternately, go for the 2LT. Compared to the 1LT, it comes with rear parking sensors, simulated-leather seating surfaces, push-button start, an upgraded driver information display, heated front seats, and chrome door handles and trim.
A sunroof is optional for the 1LT and 2LT trims. For the 2LT only, you can get a Driver Confidence package that adds forward collision warning system with low-speed emergency automatic braking and a lane departure warning system.

Chevrolet Spark vs. the competition
2019 Chevrolet Spark
2018 Chevrolet Sonic
Chevrolet Spark vs. Chevrolet Sonic
The Sonic and Spark are both diminutive cars, but the Sonic has 6 more inches of wheelbase, resulting in a roomier cabin than the subcompact Spark. Functionally, they have similar infotainment systems, though the Sonic's larger engine delivers a more pleasing driving experience. Still, the Spark wins the fuel economy and ease-of-parking contest.
Chevrolet Spark vs. Nissan Versa Note
The main reason to consider getting the Versa Note is interior room. It has considerably more rear legroom and cargo space. You also get a little more power. In the Spark's favor are its robust infotainment features and smaller size. The latter makes it a little easier to park in tight spaces.
Chevrolet Spark vs. Ford Fiesta
Although Ford announced that it will stop selling regular cars in the United States, the Fiesta will stick around through 2019. It's still one of our favorite subcompacts because of its nimble handling, appealing interior design and capable Sync 3 infotainment system. Rear-seat space is about the same as the Spark's.

Should I lease or buy a 2019 Chevrolet Spark?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
