Chevrolet Onix
motor vehicle
The Chevrolet Onix is a subcompact car marketed by Chevrolet. It was launched to replace the Chevrolet Corsa and some versions of the Chevrolet Celta. Mainly produced at General Motors Brazil's plants in Gravataí and São Caetano do Sul, the Onix is available in five-door hatchback and four-door sedan body styles. The sedan version is sold as the Chevrolet Onix Plus in Brazil and as the Onix Sedan in Colombia, while in Mexico the sedan is the only model offered. The Onix has also been assembled in Uzbekistan since 2022 by UzAuto Motors.
First generation (2012)
The first-generation Onix was available in three trim levels (LS, LT, and LTZ) with two four-cylinder engines: a 1.0-litre producing 78 PS (57 kW; 77 bhp) (petrol) or 80 PS (59 kW; 79 bhp) (ethanol), and a 1.4-litre producing 98 PS (72 kW; 97 bhp) (petrol) or 106 PS (78 kW; 105 bhp) (ethanol), available with automatic or five-speed manual transmission. In Brazil, the four-door sedan variant was known as the Chevrolet Prisma.
For 2016, the Onix and Prisma received a facelift along with interior improvements. A touchscreen was added with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. A crossover-styled variant called the Onix Activ was also introduced, with raised suspension, plastic body cladding, and a roof rack.

Why this record matters
The phrase “motor vehicle” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3540623. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022, 2012 and 2016.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
