GM Authority Covers 2020 Chevy Spark Special Edition Model

There is a lot to love about a small-sized vehicle that in no way breaks the pocketbook, and the Chevy Spark is getting a refreshing jolt of energy this year thanks to the unveiling of a brand new Special Edition model. It was first shown at the 2020 Chicago Auto show and has since been making the rounds on social media hot spots such as Instagram and the GM Authority blog. There are now a few changes that help give it its own flavor and identity, and it's a car that has received praise for its attitude, spunk, and playful sense of energy. It is also perfect for large cities such as St Louis that may tend to have streets on the narrower side of the spectrum!

This new Special Edition has a major focus on adding to the visual appeal of the exterior and now is equipped with black bow tie emblems a black painted grille, black daytime running lamp bezels, and 15-inch black-painted machine-finish alloy wheels. This new Special Edition is only available on LT trim levels for the 2020 Chevy Spark, which is offered in two configurations: the 1LT Manual and the 1LT Automatic. The power source for both is the 1.4-L LV7 inline 4-cylinder engine. It has now been specially tuned to crank out 98 horsepower and 94 lb-ft of torque, delivered straight to the front wheels.

This Special Edition Spark model will be available here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis in the spring, ready to provide a budget-friendly and planet-friendly choice for any Eco-conscious daily driver. The Spark had also received a thorough update for the 2019 model year, when it saw the addition of a restyled front end, new wheel designs, fresh exterior paint and interior color options, Chevy Infotainment 3, new safety features, and two new USB ports. This is one of the very last standing cars in the lineup that is not a crossover, SUV, or truck! Many very talented young professionals and graduates out there have told us they plan on thinking small when it comes to car purchase size, but think big when it comes to EPA fuel rating.

In the city, you'll achieve 30 mpg, while enjoying 38 mpg during highway miles. The vibrant color choices for the Spark are now Orange Burst, Caribbean Blue, Raspberry, and Passion Fruit. Don't forget to check out the ACTIVE look, which features roof rails, 15-inch aluminum wheels, rocker panel, fender trim, unique front and rear bumpers, jet black leatherette heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Whenever you choose to hit the open road with the Spark, you feel the ultimate in safety and protection, as features like Available Lane Change Departure Warning, 10 standard airbags, and a high-strength steel safety cage are present to aid your journey!
