In photos: Canada's second-cheapest new car inside and out
In the push to purvey Canada’s least-expensive car, Chevrolet and Nissan engaged in a charming pricing scrum. When Chevrolet parked the MSRP of the 2016 Spark just three dollars below the Nissan Micra’s then-cheapest Canadian price of $9,998, Nissan countered with a $10 price drop to $9,988. Now, with the dust settled, Micra maintains the title of Canada’s most affordable car, beating the $9,995 Spark at the base-price game by just $7. A brand-new car below the magical $10,000 mark represents a compelling alternative to a used car, creates buzz, and puts brands strongly on the radar of first-time buyers. With the new Spark, Chevrolet has dropped another sub-$10,000 model into this rapidly-growing segment, and it has more going for it than just that new car smell.
