2014 Chevy Spark EV Exterior

There’s really only one word to describe the exterior of a 2014 Chevy Spark EV—spunky. With a grounded stance that throws a confident attitude in your face, the Spark EV has an energetic appearance that reminds us a bit of a Jack Russell terrier. A prominent upper grill and lean, muscular design create an aerodynamic silhouette, allowing the compact electric car to get optimal driving range. Add the hidden rear door handles and five different colors to choose from, and there’s no denying that the 2014 Spark EV is one cool car.

The 2014 Chevy Spark EV is a car built for city driving with a 105-kW electric motor, which gets a decent 140 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Paired with the motor is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack with 21 kilowatt hours of capacity, allowing the EV to recharge in seven hours at 240 volts.

2014 Chevy Spark EV Interior

If you’re looking for a luxurious, over-the-top interior, the 2014 Spark EV isn’t really for you, but if simplicity is more your thing, look no further. A refreshingly uncomplicated dashboard uses clean lines, a motorcycle-like instrument cluster, and a large central touchscreen to create a no muss, no fuss atmosphere that is almost relaxing in its quality. Simple graphics allow you to know just how much charge and driving range is left on the battery, while the MyLink infotainment system has crisp graphics and easy-to-use menus. It even keeps you easily connected with smartphone app integration. For such a small car, there’s a huge amount of room, though the back isn’t exactly the roomiest in the car industry. It’s definitely a car built for short trips and commuting, so keep that in mind as you consider purchasing the 2014 Chevy Spark EV.
