2014 Chevrolet Spark: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2014 Chevrolet Spark is a new optional CVT that replaces the previous 4-speed automatic. Chevrolet also made automatic headlights standard, renamed LT as 1LT, and added the more upscale 2LT trim.
About the 2014 Chevrolet Spark
First U.S. generation (2013-2015), second model year before the 2016 redesign.
Chevrolet pitched the Spark as a true city car: tiny on the outside for easy parking, but roomy enough inside for four people and everyday cargo. The brochure leans on youthful styling, smartphone-friendly tech, and low-effort urban driving, while reviewers highlight its surprising passenger space for such a short hatchback. In this class, the Spark’s identity was simple: a small, affordable commuter that felt more useful and more connected than many other minicars.
The 2014 Spark lineup runs from the simple LS to the better-equipped 1LT and the dressier new 2LT. The 1LT brings a 7-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth, cruise control, and keyless entry, while the 2LT adds heated front seats, synthetic leather upholstery, fog lights, and roof rails.

2014 Chevrolet Spark Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2014 Chevrolet Spark.
4.1
2014 Chevrolet Spark
(63 reviews)
“This is a good vehicle for the money if you relax your expectations. Don't think you are going to be able to pass cars on the interstate at will or cruise at 75. It's a small, loud no room high mpg car.”
“It's a great vehicle overall, but there are a few issues with blindspots. Oil changes are quick and easy, but to get other systems checked it has to be serviced.”
