Small is big for carmakers in India. The Spark comes with Daewoo’s S-Tec engine. This 995cc, single-cam, two-valves per cylinder unit is a scaled-down version of the U-VA’s engine, sharing a common 68.5mm bore. The stroke, however, is shorter which makes the Spark’s motor slightly oversquare. Peak power is an impressive 63bhp but the torque figure of 9.21kgm at a high-ish 4200rpm isn’t as substantial.
