Deserving of recognition
The Chevy Spark was just one of the top seven budget cars you can buy right now. Per the publication’s John Vincent, the Spark and the other top six models fell into the front-wheel-drive subcompact category, which means they’re typically cheap to insure and will significantly reduce your gas budget. However, only the 2019 Spark secured Vincent’s compliment of being “currently the least expensive car you can buy in America,” due to its $13,220 starting MSRP.
More reasons to choose the Spark
If the Spark model’s low price isn’t enough to convince you to buy it, here are a handful of other features and specs this car boasts.
- A highway efficiency rated at 38 miles per gallon, whether you go with the manual transmission or the CVT option
- An array of connectivity perks, including two USB ports, the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, 4G LTE Wi-Fi, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, and Chevrolet Connected Access
- The latest safety systems to ease your mind, such as Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking
- An available Spark ACTIV version that pairs luxuries like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and heated black-leatherette front seats with functional perks like roof rails and a raised suspension package
