Exterior previewed by Beat Activ concept at the Auto Expo 2016.
A certification from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) proves that GM is working on introducing the Chevrolet Spark Activ pseudo crossover in the U.S, thus expanding the entry-level Chevrolet Spark lineup.
Regardless, the Spark Activ will borrow the crossover bits from the Beat Activ concept, such as a silver skid plate, plastic cladding on the bumper, roof rails and rugged-look elements. Inside, the seats will have 'Activ' branding across, and source most of the equipment from the regular Spark, like the Apple CarPlay connectivity through its 7-inch MyLink infotainment system, a heated steering wheel, cruise control and Corsa’s City-mode Steering system.

Under the hood, the Chevrolet Spark Activ will pack the 1.4L ECOTEC DOHC engine, which produces 98 hp and 94 lb/ft (127.4 Nm) of torque. In the Spark, a 5-speed manual gearbox is standard, while a CVT unit is also available.
