- GM Brazil invested $73 million to ready the PACE factory for Spark EUV production, a project that drew a visit from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
- Chevrolet Spark EUV is priced between R$ 144,990 and R$ 159,990 (≈$32 k) and features a 10.1‑inch infotainment screen, 8.8‑inch digital cluster, and 50 kW fast charging (20‑80% in ~30 min).
