Meet the New Contender: The Chevy Spark EUV
Hold onto your steering wheels, car enthusiasts! The spiritual successor to the iconic Chevy Geo Tracker is finally making its debut. Yes, you heard it right! The production of the new-for-2026 Chevy Spark EUV has officially kicked off down in Brazil, and it promises more than 200 miles of electrifying range. It’s time to shake off that nostalgia and see what the next-gen tracker has to offer!
From Brazil with Love: A Big Investment
Under the watchful eyes of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, GM Brazil has invested a whopping $73 million to transform the Planta Automotiva do Ceará (Pace) into a production powerhouse. But don’t think of it just as a car factory; as Rodrigo Teixeir puts it, the goal is to develop technology rather than simply bolt together vehicles. Ah, the magic of innovation!
All About That Range and Tech
The Chevy Spark EUV isn’t just any sleek box on wheels; it’s equipped with a single 75 kW (101 hp) motor that powers the front wheels. Picture this: a 42 kWh LFP battery combined with regenerative braking can give you up to 220 miles on the NEDC cycle — that’s enough to get you to the beach and back without breaking a sweat! Plus, with a 10.1″ infotainment screen and support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you’ll be cruising in style. Who knew tech could be so… enticing?
While it’s still up for debate if the Spark EUV can hold a candle to its predecessor, excitement is palpable! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a ride that’s just as beloved as the original Chevy Tracker.
