CHEVY TO UNVEIL UPDATED SPARK, MALIBU DIESEL AND ORLANDO TURBO IN PARIS

By Jonathon Ramsey, Autoblog.com - The Chevrolet Trax will be joined at the Paris Motor Show by four other Chevrolet reveals on their ways to the European market. The 2013 Spark gets styling updates inside and out, starting with a nipped-and-tucked front fascia and headlight covers, moving to to new 14- and 15-inch wheels, and ending out back with a new placement for third brake light to improve driver visibility. The interior will get the obligatory vaguely identified "new decor elements" and "enhanced storage" in the center console.

The Malibu diesel will take a bow powered by a turbo-charged 2.0 liter oil burner with 160 horsepower and 258 pound-feet and be paired to either an automatic or manual transmission.

The Orlando people-mover adds a new gasoline engine, a 1.4-liter turbo putting out 140 hp and 147 lb-ft paired with a six-speed manual, plus stop/start and electric power steering for improved efficiency. The result is 37.94 miles per gallon combined on the European cycle.

Finally, the Cruze wagon completes the showcase of the new, bringing with it the fascinatingly named navigation app Engis Bringo.
