2016 Chevrolet Spark Side Crash Test

The Chevrolet Spark was redesigned for the 2016 model year. Two side tests of the Spark were conducted, one by the Institute and the other by General Motors as part of side crash test verification. Ratings are based on both tests, but the vehicle specifications shown below are based on the Institute’s test.
