Chevrolet Spark Campus in South Africa

Tweet

Here is some good news for first-time car buyers in South Africa. The Chevrolet Spark range has grown to include the new Spark Campus in South Africa, and for only R99 900, it’s a steal. Standing alongside the Spark L and the Spark LS, the Campus does away with some of the non-essentials and styling options while still offering the same styling and technology offering of the L specification models. What you have here is an entry level car, at a good price, pretty much an A-B mover and not much else. Depending on your needs, this might just be right car for your daily scooting missions around town.

Like the two L specification models, the Spark Campus is also powered by a four cylinder 1.2-litre petrol engine. Power is rated at 60kW at 6400rpm with a torque figure peaking at 108Nm at 4800rpm. Now don’t expect super fast times as the Spark Campus will reach 100km/h in 13.3 seconds and will only reach 164km/h, but that’s ok, because it’s a city car and the slower speeds will give you the opportunity to appreciate your surroundings. What you will also appreciate is that the Spark Campus is not a gas guzzler and will only consume 5.4-litres/100km on the combined cycle and will only spew out 129g of CO2 per kilometre.

Chevrolet have also done well to offer decent standard features for the Spark Campus and these include ABS brakes with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), driver and passenger front airbags with de-activation for the passenger system. Security features include a transponder immobiliser system and key activated central locking.

Furthermore, the Spark Campus also includes manual air conditioning, power steering, height adjustment for the driver’s seat, tinted glass all round, rear window de-fogger, cup holders and interior courtesy and map lights. Styling includes colour coded door handles, bumpers and exterior rear view mirrors.

All of this is neatly wrapped up into the Spark Campus for under R100 000, could very well be something to look into if your wallet seeks something small, economical and well specced for the price.
