让我们看看它是否像它的名字一样令人兴奋。火花仍然是一辆非常小的车。与上一代相比,整体高度实际上下降了一点,轴距也增加了一点,以便有更多的机舱空间。绝对是一个全面的重新设计,影响最明显的正面。看起来更像个大人。现在我们已经看到了现代,丰田,甚至是大众的一些方面,但整体上来说,这款Spark比它的前身有更好的外观,它有一点像昆虫一样的外观。重新设计的Spark内部有一个大的中心堆栈。它在仪表盘的中心位置非常突出。一个7英寸的MyLink,这是雪佛兰的多媒体系统,这里的触摸屏是标准的。现在还包括一个备用摄像头。 Now, overall materials, as you'd expect for kind of an entry-level car, they're fairly basic, but there's kind of a nice, interesting texture on the dash. It doesn't make it seem too shiny. It gives kind of a muted tone. And there's some creative use of colors inside the car. You get some painted panels here, like you did in the old Spark, that can sort of add some vibrancy around you. Space, now there's a nice hollowed out area here below the center stack that actually allows your knees to kind of spill into, so it's not too bad there. Looking out the back here, rear head restraints nest in the seats like they used to. That clears up space very well right behind you. But again, like the old Spark, still door handles in the back of the rear doors. Kind of make those C pillars seem a little bit thick, hurt some of your over the shoulder blind spot visibility. Now adults will find the backseat adequate in terms of space, but if you're planning on loading up on cargo often, you're gonna want to find a bigger hatchback. There's just not a ton of space behind these seats, and folding them down is a process that really sucks. You gotta tumble these seats forward first and then get the head restraints down if they're up, and then put these cushions down. And if you really want to get the seat all the way down, you gotta come and move the front seats forward a little bit to score enough clearance here, which then gets this forward and moves the seat all the way down. It was a mess in the prior generation of the Spark. It remains one here. The big question for any small car is fuel economy. We've heard that highway gas mileage on the Chevy Spark, this is from Chevy officials, should be right around 40 miles per gallon or so, but final EPA numbers and that all important combined figure still to be determined. So stay tuned to cars.com for more news on that closer to the Chevy Spark's on sale date in late 2015. (trunk slamming)
