Overview

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.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 Chevrolet Spark LS 4dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl 5M) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.11 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.}

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.

This base trim starts you off with:

15-inch steel wheels

60/40-split folding rear seats
7-inch touchscreen
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility

A more adventurous trim includes:

Unique grille, bumpers and black exterior accents
Roof rails
Foglights
Protective door plates

21 Chev Spark is a nice, solid car for the money. The technology you want comes standard. It’s a great A to B type car.

2021 Chevrolet Spark 1LT 4dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl 5M)

I found the Chevy Spark so practical we bought 2 of them. If you are looking for a race car buy a Dodge Challenger. If you are looking for 3 roll seating and storage buy a suburban. This car does what it was designed for. And for people to be negative about the Spark you need to buy what fits your needs. I just think this little car is as nice as a pocket on a shirt.

2021 Chevrolet Spark LS 4dr Hatchback (1.4L 4cyl 5M)

We just got a new 21 Spark LS in Cayenne Orange - it's a really cute little car. Had the windows tinted, medium on the front side windows, a limo-tint visor and back windows. Custom wheels - Sport-Tuning alloys, they look great. I also had the whole front of the car off to install a towing baseplate - we hook a tow-bar to the front and it goes behind our Winnebago motorhome. These …

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.

Compare Chevrolet Spark & Kia Rio features

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.

Compare Chevrolet Spark & Hyundai Accent features

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.
