Auto Show is the 2017 Chevrolet Spark Activ, boasting unique front and rear fascias, off-road skidplates and revised suspension that raises the compact car’s height by 0.4 inch (10 mm).

Other unique changes to the exterior of the Spark Activ include a specific grille pattern with the Activ nameplate, as well as round fog lights and housings that have been integrated in the front bumper.
