2022 Chevrolet Spark Review

byCameron Rogers
Senior News Editor
Cameron Rogers has worked in the automotive industry since 2013. He has tested and reviewed hundreds of vehicles over the course of his career.Pros
- Impressive number of features at an affordable price
- Offers many high-tech features as options
- High fuel economy
- Easy to park in tight places
Cons
- Acceleration is slow, both for the class and in general
- Not much rear legroom or cargo capacity
What's new
- No significant changes for 2022
- Part of the second Spark generation introduced for 2015
Shoppers looking for a small, inexpensive car seem to have fewer choices every year. In fact, two of our favorite pint-sized hatchbacks — the Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit — were recently discontinued. But there are still a few models worth seeking out, and one of them is the 2022 Chevrolet Spark.
The Spark offers strong value for the money. It has good fuel economy, a low starting price and a long list of standard features. Some rivals — including the Kia Rio and Hyundai Accent — are a little more powerful, efficient and more generously equipped. For instance, both of those competitors come with standard power door locks and windows, which are optional on the Spark. However, the existence of far less desirable vehicles in the class (Mitsubishi Mirage, we're looking at you) confirms that while the Spark isn't the most enticing hatchback out there, it's still a solid pick.
Which Spark does Edmunds recommend?
If you're considering a subcompact vehicle, chances are that the out-the-door price is a major consideration. That said, the base LS is a little too bare-bones for us to recommend. The next-level 1LT is a great option if you want to keep costs low but still have desirable features. The power accessories, remote locking/unlocking and cruise control features will pay dividends over the years.
Chevrolet Spark models
The 2022 Chevrolet Spark is a subcompact hatchback that's sold in four trim levels: LS, 1LT, Activ and 2LT. Every Spark is powered by a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine making 98 horsepower and 94 lb-ft of torque. You can choose between a five-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT) on all four trims.
LS
This base trim starts you off with:
- 15-inch steel wheels
- Automatic headlights
- Manual windows, mirrors and door locks
- Air conditioning
- Height-adjustable driver's seat
- 60/40-split folding rear seats
- 7-inch touchscreen
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility
- Two USB ports
- Four-speaker audio system
- OnStar communications service with onboard Wi-Fi hotspot
1LT
The next step up adds on:
- 15-inch alloy wheels
- Power windows, mirrors and door locks
- Heated mirrors
- Audio and phone controls on steering wheel
- Cruise control
- Remote keyless entry
- Six-speaker audio system
- Satellite radio
You can add the following options to the Spark 1LT:
- Sunroof
- Spark Special Edition package (requires two-tone exterior)
- Black-painted wheels
- Black-painted grille
Activ
A more adventurous trim includes:
- Unique grille, bumpers and black exterior accents
- Roof rails
- Foglights
- Protective door plates
- Leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Heated front seats
- Simulated leather upholstery
- Suspension with 0.4 inch higher ground clearance
2LT
This top trim takes 1LT equipment and adds:
- Keyless entry and ignition
- Chrome door handles and trim
- Upgraded driver information display
- Heated front seats
- Simulated leather seating surfaces
- Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)
The Spark 2LT options include:

Chevrolet Spark vs. the competition

2022 Chevrolet Spark

2021 Kia Rio
Chevrolet Spark vs. Kia Rio
The Kia Rio is one of the better picks for a subcompact. The base Rio comes standard with power accessories and heated mirrors, along with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay smartphone compatibility — a rare feature for any vehicle on the market. A comfortable ride and Kia's peerless warranty are other highlights.
Chevrolet Spark vs. Hyundai Accent
The Hyundai Accent is very similar to its mechanically related corporate cousin, the Kia Rio. But the Rio's refresh last year added a more substantial list of standard features, and the Accent is more expensive once you start adding options. Plus, you can get the Rio in both sedan and hatchback configurations. Compared to the Spark, the Accent offers a superior warranty, more features for the price, and better fuel economy.
Chevrolet Spark vs. Mitsubishi Mirage
The Mirage has a rock-bottom starting price, but that's about where the positives end. The unresponsive engine and poor steering make it unpleasant to drive, while the uncomfortable seats and exceptional engine and wind noise levels are disappointing for passengers too. Of these two subcompacts, the Spark is by far the better purchase.

Should I lease or buy a 2022 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.
