The Chevy Spark is not an Electric Vehicle

We should be more specific, and hopefully clear up some common misperceptions about the Spark. The Chevy Spark’s electric model (the EV) will be available in selected markets (California and Oregon), but the models currently in stock at Johnson Motors, and most Chevy Dealers across the country, are in fact gasoline-powered.

This popular car is powered by a very fuel-efficient 4-cylinder inline, 1.2 liter DOHC engine, and boasts a fuel-sipping 37 mpg on the highway, and an estimated 28 mpg for city driving.

The Spark isn’t a brand-new car, either. In fact, it’s been sold around the world for several years, and is thoroughly road-tested and ready for the American market. Instead of being an import being sold to the domestic market, the Spark is one of the first “export” cars that Chevy sold abroad, and introduced to America in 2013.

The amazing little Spark holds several #1 spots in its category. It has the lowest starting MSRP at $12,170, a 9.3 out of 10 Kelley Blue Book consumer rating, ten airbags, nearly 32 cubic feet of cargo space, and a 7-inch MyLink radio/interactive screen that handles a variety of function.

If you’re in the market for a compact, fuel-efficient and very affordable vehicle with great style, we hope you’ll stop by Johnson Motors and check out the Chevy Spark.
