The U.S.-market 2017 Chevrolet Spark uses a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 98 hp and 94 lb-ft in a General Motors dealer equipment document. Chevrolet listed it with either a five-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission (CVT), depending on configuration. Its brochure compares LS, 1LT and 2LT equipment; ACTIV also appears in GM dealer specifications and Cars.com listings, but its equipment is not detailed in the brochure’s trim table.

2017 Chevrolet Spark specifications

Chevrolet’s model-year brochure identifies the engine as “ECOTEC® 1.4L DOHC 4-cylinder MFI.” A 2016 GM dealer equipment document gives its output as 98 hp (73.07 kW) at 6,200 rpm and 94 lb-ft (127.4 N·m) at 4,400 rpm. The brochure lists a five-speed manual and a CVT. Cars.com describes the Spark as a four-seat, front-wheel-drive hatchback.

Specification 2017 Chevrolet Spark
Engine ECOTEC 1.4L DOHC four-cylinder MFI
Power 98 hp (73.07 kW) at 6,200 rpm, per GM’s 2016 dealer equipment document
Torque 94 lb-ft (127.4 N·m) at 4,400 rpm, per GM’s 2016 dealer equipment document
Transmissions listed Five-speed manual or CVT; availability depends on configuration
Body and seating Four-seat, front-wheel-drive hatchback, per Cars.com
Fuel economy Cars.com displays 34 combined MPG on its headline specification page; that figure is not verified here for every trim and transmission

These are U.S.-market references. Trim names and equipment can differ in other markets. The 34-mpg figure is a headline listing, not a configuration-by-configuration fuel-economy comparison.

2017 Spark trim levels and equipment

Chevrolet’s brochure equipment matrix has columns for LS, 1LT and 2LT. The comparison below follows that matrix; “Not listed” means the feature is not shown for that trim in the brochure, rather than proving that no individual vehicle could have it through a package or market-specific variation.

LS

The LS has the 7-inch MyLink touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility in the brochure, along with four speakers. Cruise control, power windows, power locks and remote keyless entry are not listed in its column.

1LT

The 1LT retains the listed touchscreen and adds two speakers for a six-speaker audio setup. The brochure also lists cruise control, power windows, power locks and remote keyless entry for this trim.

Rank #2
ACDelco 41-962 Professional Platinum Spark Plug, (8)
  • One-piece, fired-in suppressor seal blends three glass types for a gas-tight seal that helps reduce radio frequency and engine interference, regulate spark plug energy, and protect against compression pressures for long life
  • Double platinum point pad on center and ground electrode offer excellent durability and consistent voltage demands to help reduce wear on ignition system
  • Pure copper core results in cooler electrode temperature for maximized durability and fouling resistance
  • Some ACDelco GM Original Equipment parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco Professional

2LT

The 2LT includes the features listed for 1LT and adds heated front seats, keyless open and start, rear park assist, Forward Collision Alert and Lane Departure Warning.

ACTIV

ACTIV appears alongside LS, 1LT and 2LT in the GM dealer equipment document, and Cars.com lists ACTIV configurations with both manual and CVT transmissions. Chevrolet’s brochure table does not include an ACTIV column, so it does not establish ACTIV’s exact equipment by comparison with the other trims.

Does the 2017 Chevrolet Spark have Apple CarPlay?

Yes. Chevrolet’s 2017 brochure lists a 7-inch MyLink touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility in all three of its compared trims: LS, 1LT and 2LT. Confirm that the specific used car has the expected equipment and that its system works, rather than relying only on a seller’s trim description.

Is the 2017 Spark automatic or manual?

Both transmission types are listed: a five-speed manual and a CVT. The available choice depends on configuration. Cars.com lists manual and CVT versions across LS, 1LT, ACTIV and 2LT, but check the transmission of the particular car you are considering.

What to check on a used 2017 Spark

A trim name is a useful starting point, not a complete build record. The brochure is a model-year feature matrix, and optional packages or market details may affect an individual example. Before buying, check the car itself and verify its equipment by VIN where possible.

  • Confirm the transmission and trim from the vehicle’s documentation or VIN.
  • Test the touchscreen and confirm the functions you need, including phone compatibility.
  • For a claimed 2LT, check for heated front seats, keyless open and start, rear park assist, and the listed collision and lane warnings.
  • Check convenience features such as power windows, power locks and remote keyless entry rather than assuming they are present from a badge alone.
  • Inspect the installed equipment and any package details; the brochure does not document every individual car’s build.

The brochure also lists air conditioning with a cabin air filter, Bluetooth for select phones, a rear vision camera, StabiliTrak with brake assist, traction control, tire-pressure monitoring, hill-start assist and multiple airbags across the LS, 1LT and 2LT columns. If replacing the cabin air filter, confirm fitment for the exact vehicle; the brochure does not supply a part number.
