In the most recent test, the Chevrolet Onix 1.0 achieved the mark of 16.3 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km/h with gasoline. Although slightly slower than the 15.8 seconds of 2021, the performance still impresses, considering the adaptations made to meet stricter emission standards.
When it comes to efficiency, the Onix does not disappoint. On the road, it covered an impressive 24 km/l with gasoline, while in the city it achieved an average of 14.2 km/l. These numbers reinforce its status as a benchmark in consumption in the segment.
Equipment and Cost-Benefit

The price of the Onix has risen significantly since 2019. Back then, the base version cost R$ 48,490. Today, the price starts at R$ 93,770. Nevertheless, the model continues to attract buyers, thanks to the balance between cost and benefit.
The Future of the Chevrolet Onix
The 2025/2026 line promises updates, such as an updated design and the possible inclusion of a hybrid flex system. These changes are expected to solidify the Onix as one of the most innovative models from General Motors.
With GM celebrating 100 years in Brazil, the Chevrolet Onix plays a central role in this celebration, symbolizing the automaker’s commitment to innovation and quality.
The Chevrolet Onix has shown that, even in challenging times, it is possible to maintain relevance and leadership. With a track record of success and great expectations for the future, it remains one of the favorites among Brazilians. So, are you ready to embark on this new phase of the Onix?
