Base plate manufacturers have not yet created base plates for the 2019 Chevy Spark but I am sure they will be coming out in the near future. I checked the owner's manual for the 2019 models and only models with a manual transmission can be flat towed. If you have an automatic transmission then you can dolly tow the Spark using a tow dolly, # RM-2050-1 or # RM-2000-1. You can also dolly tow models with the manual transmission if you want.

I have linked videos of the tow dollies for you. Honestly using a tow dolly is a great way to go. You pretty much just need it and a ball mount with the right amount of rise or drop to tow the dolly level. Each of the dollies above has electric brakes which can be controlled with a brake controller as well.
