2022 Chevrolet Spark: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026

About the 2022 Chevrolet Spark
2nd generation Spark, final U.S. model year.
The Spark is Chevrolet’s smallest city hatchback: easy to park, simple to own, and sized for drivers who want basic transportation without giving up smartphone-friendly tech. Chevrolet markets it as a fun, nimble small car with room for four adults, flexible hatchback cargo space, and a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Its appeal is straightforward value, tiny-city maneuverability, and just enough convenience and connectivity for everyday commuting.
The 2022 Spark remains a small, simple hatchback aimed at city commuting and first-car duty. Every trim has a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while the ACTIV adds sportier-looking exterior trim and heated front seats. The more fully equipped 2LT adds push-button start, rear parking sensors, synthetic leather upholstery, and heated front seats.
