The Spark is Chevrolet's smallest car. North American models (2013 to 2022) use 1.2- and 1.4-liter four-cylinder engines with a manual or CVT, and the Spark EV (2014 to 2016) is fully electric. Earlier Spark models were sold in other markets.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2012 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “C”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 14 years old, a 2012 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
All Chevrolet Spark model years: 2004 · 2005 · 2006 · 2007 · 2008 · 2009 · 2010 · 2011 · 2012 · 2013 · 2014 · 2015 · 2016 · 2017 · 2018 · 2019 · 2020 · 2021 · 2022
No 2012 Chevrolet Spark was sold in the United States or Canada. See the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic.
