Used 2020 Chevy Spark Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Chevrolet Spark is a compact four-door city car available in four trim levels that differ primarily in standard feature content. The Spark LS is the base model, and the 1LT adds more features. The 2LT has more convenience and driver assist functions, while the Activ model increases ground clearance and tacks on roof rails to suit the more active lifestyle.

All Sparks come with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 98 horsepower and 94 lb-ft of torque. The engine drives the front wheels through either a five-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable automatic transmission.

The Spark LS is fairly bare-bones but still comes with air conditioning, a rearview camera, a 7-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, USB connectivity, and a four-speaker audio system. Even at this base level, the Spark features Chevrolet's OnStar communications system that includes a 4G LTE in-car Wi-Fi hotspot.

The 1LT equips alloy wheels, power accessories (windows, mirrors and door locks), cruise control, remote keyless entry, foglights and a six-speaker audio system.

Next up is the Activ. It adds simulated-leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, roof rails, special 15-inch wheels and bodywork, and a raised suspension that provides 0.4 inch of additional ground clearance.

Alternately, go for the 2LT. Compared to the 1LT, it comes with rear parking sensors, simulated-leather seating surfaces, push-button start, an upgraded driver information display, heated front seats, and chrome door handles and trim.

A sunroof is optional for the 1LT and 2LT trims. For the 2LT only, you can get a Driver Confidence package that adds forward collision warning system with low-speed emergency automatic braking and a lane departure warning system.

Which Spark trim does Edmunds recommend?

With the Spark's cost of entry so low, most people will be able to afford to move up a trim level and get more features. Since the Chevy Spark comes standard with a fairly good infotainment system with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, we recommend the 1LT. It adds convenience features such as power windows, mirrors, door locks, remote entry, and a six-speaker audio system.
