About

The Chevrolet Spark CNG (2011) is a compact hatchback designed for urban driving. It features a 1.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 63 horsepower and 90 Nm of torque, making it adequate for city driving. The car is known for its spacious interior, comfortable suspension, and easy handling, which are significant advantages in dense traffic conditions. The Spark also comes with a sequential type LPG kit, which is a plus for those looking to save on fuel costs. However, the cars cabin noise, particularly the engine and AC sounds, and the subpar tires and brakes are areas that need improvement. Despite these flaws, the Spark remains a practical choice for small families or individuals seeking a budget-friendly, easy-to-maneuver vehicle.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Chevrolet Spark CNG (2011) is a mixed bag when it comes to overall performance and user experience. On the positive side, it offers a decent pickup, especially in city driving conditions, thanks to its short gearing for the first two gears. The hydraulic steering provides a responsive and enjoyable driving experience, and the cars stability and handling are commendable for its class. However, there are significant drawbacks, such as the noisy cabin and engine, particularly after the initial 40,000 to 45,000 kilometers. The lack of soundproofing and the coarse engine sound can be quite bothersome. Additionally, the tires and brakes leave much to be desired, lacking the necessary grip and bite. Despite these issues, the Spark remains a value-for-money option for those seeking a compact, easy-to-handle vehicle.

Price

The Chevrolet Spark CNG (2011) was priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the top model, the Spark 1.0 LT LPG, was around 4.22 lakh. When factoring in on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and other expenses, the price would typically range between 4.5 to 5 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing made the Spark an attractive option for budget-conscious buyers looking for a reliable and fuel-efficient vehicle. However, its important to note that the Spark has been discontinued, so any purchases would be through the used car market.
