General Motors’ Australian unit Holden will launch its new small car, the Barina Spark, at the Australian International Motorshow in Sydney next week.
The
1.2-litre hatchback – sold in most other markets as the Chevrolet Spark complements Holden’s existing, also GM-Daewoo-sourced, Barina range, a model line that dates back to the rebadged Suzuki Swift launched ‘down under’ in the mid-80s.

Sales, marketing and aftersales head John Elsworth said the Barina Spark had what it took to attract new generation to the Holden brand.
“This is a very style-conscious market and with Barina Spark we have a really fresh and energetic design that breaks the ‘cute car’ mould. It’s fun, fuel efficient and offers class-leading safety features and value for money in the best Holden tradition,” he said.
Holden will offer CD and CDX trim levels with sports body kit, alloy wheels, fog lamps and rear spoiler as standard, along with electronic stability control and six airbags.
Both versions have a 1.2 litre DOHC I4 engine and five speed manual transmission.
