About the Chevrolet Onix
The second-generation Chevrolet Onix, launched in late 2019, represented a significant leap forward for General Motors' presence in emerging markets. Built on the GEM (Global Emerging Markets) platform, it introduced premium features like six airbags, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a turbocharged powertrain to a segment previously dominated by basic, naturally aspirated vehicles. The 1.0T engine offers a balance of efficiency and punchy performance, making it a best-seller in Brazil and Mexico. Its modern interior and high safety ratings helped it maintain its position as one of the most popular cars in Latin America.
