Peter Keley, Holden Executive Director – Sales, said the completely redesigned car offered customers greater
performance, efficiency and refinement, along with new, safety and connectivity features.
“It is very exciting to see the future of Holden’s smallest model. It’s easy to see why we are so confident the
all-new Spark will stand out from the competition and continue to attract a younger set of buyers to the Holden
brand,” Mr. Keley said.
“I believe this car will set a new benchmark in this highly competitive segment.”
The all-new Spark has a sleeker appearance, thanks to a slightly longer wheelbase, and an overall height about 40
millimeters lower than the current model. The lower profile reduces aerodynamic drag to help improve efficiency and
interior changes maintain the Spark’s traditionally generous headroom.
An all-new, more robust architecture serves as the foundation for the all-new Spark’s more sophisticated driving
experience. The stronger body structure enabled engineers to tune ride and handling more precisely, for a greater
feeling of control and refinement, while fostering a quieter ride.
Ian Butler, Holden Director of Vehicle Performance, said the Holden engineering team had been involved in the
development of the car.
“Even though this is a truly global car our engineers have been working hard to tailor the vehicle to ensure it
resonates with our customers in Australia,” Mr. Butler said.
“The car will feature unique suspension and steering tunes following thousands of kilometers and months of
extensive work at our Lang Lang proving ground and on public roads.”

“We made sure the car remains fun and agile but will now deliver even more sophistication.”
Inside, designers matched the lowered roof height by adjusting the hip-point dimensions for the seats, maintaining
the ample headroom of the current model and offering comparable spaciousness with a more engaging driving position.
Upgraded materials and greater attention to detail, including everything from the higher-quality fabrics to
higher-density seat foam that enhance comfort and durability, add sophistication.
General Motors (GM) Executive Vice President and President of GM International, Stefan Jacoby, announced earlier this
year that the all-new Spark would be launched in Australia as part of Holden’s major new vehicle launch programme which
will deliver 24 major new vehicle launches and 36 new powertrain combinations over the next five years.
