The Chevrolet Spark (internal type designation M300 ) is a small car from the US manufacturer General Motors that has been available since 2010. The vehicle was developed by GM Korea and is sold worldwide. At GM Korea, the Spark replaces the Matiz . A notchback sedan has also been available on the same basis since 2017.

In India the model is called Chevrolet Beat and in Australia the vehicle is marketed as Holden Barina Spark as a sub-model of the Holden Barina . In South Korea it initially remained with the name Daewoo Matiz until the Daewoo brand was also given up there in 2011.

Model history

The vehicle was shown publicly for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show 2009. The design goes back to the concept vehicle Beat , which was shown for the first time at the New York International Auto Show (NYIAS) in 2007. The car was launched in March 2010.

Facelift

The Spark was revised in autumn 2012. The front apron and the third brake light mounted in the rear spoiler are new. The interior was also redesigned. The revised Spark celebrated its premiere at the Mondial de l'Automobile . In Europe, the vehicle is no longer available since Chevrolet withdrew from imports in 2014. Another facelift for some markets in South America took place in 2017. A notchback sedan, which was shown as the Chevrolet Essentia concept vehicle at the Auto Expo in Delhi in 2016 , and which at GM's Talegaon plant in India as the Chevrolet Beat Sedán for Latin American markets is based on this version is produced.
