How many cylinders are in the Chevy Spark?
The gasoline version of the Chevy Spark uses four cylinders, while the Spark EV operates with an electric motor and has no combustion cylinders.
Variants and cylinder counts
Gasoline Spark (ICE)
In its conventional gasoline form, the Chevy Spark is equipped with a four-cylinder inline engine. This four-cylinder configuration is standard across the model years most buyers encountered in North America and many other markets, delivering compact-city performance with a modest power output.
Spark EV
The Spark EV is powered by an electric traction motor rather than an internal combustion engine. As a result, there are no cylinders in the traditional sense to count. The car relies on battery capacity and electric motor torque to deliver its driving experience.
Context and considerations
When discussing cylinder counts, it’s important to distinguish between the gasoline Spark and the electric Spark EV. The term “cylinders” applies to combustion engines, so only the ICE version has four cylinders. Market variations can affect displacement and tuning, but the basic cylinder count for the gasoline model remains four across the common production years.
