Small Car, Big Life: The 2018 Chevrolet Spark Hatchback at Emerson Chevrolet
In a world where vehicles seem to get larger, heavier, and more expensive by the day, there is something incredibly refreshing about a car that values smart efficiency. A car that can squeeze into the tightest downtown parking spots, sip fuel on your daily commute, and offer modern, high-tech features without breaking the bank.
Right now, sitting on our lot at 946 Center Street in Auburn, we have the ultimate city-smart commuter: a pristine 2018 Chevrolet Spark Hatchback 5D equipped with a 1.4L I4 engine and a smooth, effortless automatic transmission.
If you are looking for an affordable, highly maneuverable, and remarkably fuel-efficient hatchback that is as fun to drive as it is easy to park, this Chevrolet Spark is waiting for you at Emerson Chevrolet.
The 1.4L ECOTEC Engine: Zippy Performance Meets Elite Fuel Economy
Don't let its compact size fool you—the 2018 Chevrolet Spark is engineered to deliver a lively and engaging driving experience. Under the hood sits a spirited 1.4-liter ECOTEC 4-cylinder engine producing 98 horsepower and 94 lb-ft of torque.
Because the Spark features a remarkably light curb weight of just under $2,300\text{ pounds}$, those 98 horses translate directly to responsive acceleration around town. It zips away from stoplights, handles lane changes with athletic agility, and maintains confident highway speeds with ease.
The real headline, however, is what this powertrain does for your monthly budget. Paired with a smooth-shifting, continuous-ratio automatic transmission (CVT), the 2018 Spark boasts stellar fuel efficiency:
- EPA-Estimated 30 MPG City
- EPA-Estimated 38 MPG Highway
- 9.0-Gallon Fuel Tank Capacity
With fuel prices remaining highly unpredictable, owning a vehicle that can deliver up to 38 miles to the gallon on the highway is a massive advantage. Whether you are commuting down I-95 or running quick errands around Auburn, the Spark ensures your trips to the gas station are few and far between.
Hatchback Versatility: Surprisingly Roomy on the Inside
The exterior dimensions of the Spark are perfect for navigating urban environments. With an overall length of just over $143\text{ inches}$ and a turning diameter of only $33.8\text{ feet}$, you can easily execute u-turns and slide into those "compact only" parking spaces that SUV drivers have to pass up.
But step inside, and you’ll discover that the Spark is a marvel of space efficiency. Chevrolet designers pushed the wheels to the absolute corners of the vehicle to maximize interior volume, offering:
- $39.0\text{ inches}$ of Front Headroom
- $41.7\text{ inches}$ of Front Legroom
- Four-Passenger Seating Capacity
Whether you are packing gear for a weekend getaway or heading out with friends, the hatchback configuration delivers outstanding storage utility. Behind the rear seats, you'll find $11.1\text{ cubic feet}$ of cargo room for groceries or backpacks.
Need to haul larger items? Simply fold down the 60/40 split-folding rear seats to unlock a massive $27.2\text{ cubic feet}$ of flat-loading cargo capacity. From small furniture purchases to outdoor gear, the Spark is always ready to accommodate your lifestyle.
Advanced Connectivity: Standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
Just because you are choosing an affordable commuter car doesn't mean you have to sacrifice the modern technology you rely on every day.
The 2018 Chevrolet Spark comes standard with the intuitive Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system, displayed on a crisp, vibrant 7-inch diagonal color touchscreen. This system is your ultimate command center, featuring:
With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard, you can seamlessly mirror your smartphone's interface directly onto the dashboard.

Furthermore, this model is equipped with OnStar with 4G LTE Wi-Fi® Hotspot capability, allowing you and your passengers to stay connected to high-speed internet wherever your road trips take you.
Safety is Built-In: Comprehensive Passenger Protection
