Chevy’s version of the mini-car concept is coming to life a five door Chevrolet Spark, a new small car from General Motors.
The production version of the Chevrolet Spark is 143.3 inches long and has a 93.5-inch wheelbase (compared to the Mini which has 97.1 inch wheelbase). When the Spark goes on sale in Europe, it will come with a 1.0 liter or 1.2 liter 16-valve four cylinder DOHC gasoline engine.

The Spark features Chevy’s two tier grille setup and wheel arches that can handle up to a 15 inch wheel.The Spark’s integrated rear door handles are into the upper part of the door in an effort to preserve the vehicle’s rear-flank lines. Out back, there’s an integrated tailgate spoiler and a new take on Chevrolet’s trademark round taillight setup.

Despite its compact size, General Motors insists the Spark will have a spacious cabin with interior noise levels on par with larger vehicles. The cabin is highlighted by the Spark’s motorcycle-themed, steering wheel mounted instrument cluster and dual cockpit layout.
