Chevrolet Spark

Price $10,398 – $19,498
Fuel consumption 6.2 – 8.0 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 66%(view ratings)
One of the few subcompact cars left in Canada, the Chevrolet Spark hatchback is also among the cheapest vehicles in the country. Its diminutive size and short turning radius make it ideal for city driving, while the user-friendly infotainment system will please technology enthusiasts. Under the hood is a 1.4-litre four-cylinder delivering 98 horsepower. Fuel economy is good but not as great as one would think given the engine specs.
