General Motors will be tweaking the North American version of the Chevrolet Spark, which currently does not meet US safety standards.
New information suggests it will feature a wider grille, redesigned air intakes and a few other minor adjustments.
Sources at Chevy say the changes will slightly alter the vehicle’s looks while satisfying American safety requirements.
Outside North America, the Spark is powered by 1.0- and 1.2-litre mills, but only the latter will be available here. The Spark currently produces 80 hp and 80 lb-ft of torque and burns about 5 L/100 km of fuel.
For now, it’s hard to tell if the engine will also be reworked before the North American launch, scheduled for 2012.
