2020 Chevrolet Spark: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The 2020 Chevrolet Spark is a true carryover with no major changes. It keeps the four-trim lineup and the updates introduced for 2019.
About the 2020 Chevrolet Spark
2nd U.S. generation (2016-2022), fifth model year; 2020 sits after the 2019 styling and infotainment update and before the largely unchanged 2021 model.
The 2020 Spark is Chevrolet’s smallest hatchback and is aimed squarely at city driving. Chevrolet presents it as easy to park, easy to maneuver, and easy to stay connected in, with useful hatchback cargo flexibility and simple phone-friendly tech. Against other very small cars, the Spark’s big selling points are its tidy size, standard touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a trim walk that ranges from basic commuter to more stylish and more upscale versions without changing the car’s simple urban mission.
The 2020 Spark ranges from the practical LS to the more polished 2LT, all in a small five-door hatchback aimed at city driving. Every trim has a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while ACTIV adds a slightly raised stance and rugged-looking trim. The 2LT stands out for heated synthetic leather front seats, push-button start, and rear parking sensors.

2020 Chevrolet Spark
(266 reviews)
“The Chevy Spark is easy to park in city. It is comfortable driving long distances and has great lumbar support. It is great on gas and the dash board is easy to read and well lighted. I esp. enjoy the standard shift ( esp. in the snow). I liked my former Spark. I love my knew Spark. I just can't get over the looks of the dash board compared to my 2015 model! What an improvement! Stylish.”
“Good for a single person. Small design, not zippy but fun to drive. Great features and great price. Very clean and modern look.”
