How many plugs does Chevrolet Spark have?

The Chevrolet Spark typically uses three spark plugs in its common three‑cylinder engines, but some markets offered a four‑cylinder variant that requires four spark plugs.


Engine configurations across Spark generations


The number of spark plugs in a Chevrolet Spark depends on the engine layout. Most generations rely on a three‑cylinder design, which uses one spark plug per cylinder. In some markets, Chevrolet offered a larger four‑cylinder version, which would require four spark plugs. The exact count can vary by model year and market, so checking the specific engine for a given Spark is the best way to be sure.


Three-cylinder Spark models


Most Chevrolet Spark models are powered by a three‑cylinder engine, which standardly uses three spark plugs—one for each cylinder.



  • Common engine setup: 3 spark plugs (one per cylinder).

  • Applicable to the majority of Spark variants in many markets and model years.


In practice, if your Spark has a typical 3‑cylinder configuration, you should expect three spark plugs.


Four-cylinder Spark variants (market-specific)


Some markets offered a larger four‑cylinder engine, which would need four spark plugs—one per cylinder.



  • Possible engine options: 4-cylinder 1.2L/1.4L variants in certain regions.

  • Applicable to those specific market versions rather than the mainline Spark models.


For these versions, count four spark plugs.


How to verify for your vehicle


To confirm the exact number for a specific Chevrolet Spark, consult the owner’s manual, check the engine bay for the number of spark plugs, or reference the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) against Chevrolet’s official specifications for your market and model year.


Bottom line


The typical Chevrolet Spark has three spark plugs, corresponding to its common three‑cylinder engines. Some market-specific four‑cylinder variants exist, which would have four spark plugs. Always verify your exact configuration for accuracy.


Summary


In short: three spark plugs is the standard for most Chevrolet Spark models; four plugs may appear on certain four‑cylinder variants depending on the market. Always check your specific vehicle’s engine to be certain.
