2016 Holden Spark Brochure

By 2016, Holden's Spark had settled into dual-market duty across Australia and New Zealand, where it faced stiff competition from the Toyota Yaris and Hyundai i10. The brochure showed a car positioned squarely as the affordable urban runabout, priced to undercut rivals while maintaining the Japanese-derived engineering backbone that gave it unexpected durability.

2017 Holden Spark Brochure

By 2017, the Spark faced a crowded city-car segment where rivals like the Hyundai i10 and Kia Picanto pressed hard on value and warranty. Holden's offering in Australia and New Zealand leaned on durability reputation and local service networks rather than outright power—the 1.2-litre engine produced 84 horsepower, modest but adequate for urban duty. Buyers weighed practicality
