As indicated, the Chevrolet Spark EV accelerates to 100 km/ h in 8 seconds, which indicates the excellent dynamics of the car, to which all the torque power of the electric motor is available almost instantly. The electric car has an exceptional ability to gain momentum, which compares favorably with many competitors who have this moment systemically limited.


The immediate acceleration of the Chevrolet Spark EV implies confidence in the driving qualities of an electric car. Indeed, the car is perfectly controlled, offering the owner the maximum available maneuverability. Chevrolet Spark EV confidently obeys the steering wheel, smoothly enters turns, accurately maintains the chosen course. The suspension of the car copes with most of the loads, confidently "swallowing" small irregularities, but slightly giving in to serious potholes, which in principle is characteristic of urban vehicles. The car drives quite quietly, which indicates not only the electrical nature of the engine, but also a good sound insulation of the interior.

There is also a peculiar atmosphere inside the car. On the one hand, it cannot be said that it is cramped, since the car offers a high landing and a large amount of space above your head. On the other hand, according to the length and width of the seat in the Chevrolet Spark EV, at least two front passengers can still make room and sit more or less comfortably using seat adjustments, but after that only children can sit in the back, for adults, there is not enough legroom.


The compact hatchback Chevrolet Spark EV is not the most attractive design. This is an omission not only of a car with an electric motor, but also of its gasoline counterpart. The exterior is dominated by rounded shapes typical of most ultra-compact cars. The electric car looks tall and narrow, plus the wide door designs, minus the too-inflated tailgate handle and passengers boarding almost on the wheel. The expressive cut of the front headlights looks interesting, but it is a bit discordant with the modest taillights, which look a little out of place in the general context.


The seats of the Chevrolet Spark EV also do not differ in increased comfort and offer the minimum of amenities that a car requires for short trips around the city. The landing is almost vertical, there are minimum adjustments of positions. I am pleased with the presence of a trunk offering 273 liters of volume, as well as the ability to fold the rear row of seats, which will add an additional 400 liters to the luggage compartment.
