The Chevrolet Prisma G2, Launched in 2013, Brought Improvements in Design and Technology, Maintaining Its Popularity in the Compact Sedan Car Market.

The Chevrolet Prisma G2 arrived in the national market as a significant evolution compared to its first generation. With a new platform based on the Onix, the compact sedan brought more modernity and refinement, positioning itself as one of the main options for those looking for an accessible car with good features. In addition to improvements in design, the Prisma G2 came with mechanical and technological innovations that set it apart from its predecessor. This model stands out for its ability to meet the needs of Brazilian consumers, offering a balanced package of performance, comfort, and technology, although it presents some challenges in safety and performance.

General Information About the Chevrolet Prisma

Chemot youosis managed to design a sedan with lines that seem to be part of an original project, different from the previous Prisma.

The front of the vehicle is identical to that of the Onix up to the C-pillar, with a central grille divided by a horizontal bar that carries the Chevrolet logo, framed by a decorative trim.

The headlights feature a single bifocal reflector and may have a chrome finish or a black mask, depending on the version.

On the side, the Prisma displays a crease that starts at the headlights and runs along the entire side to the rear lights.

The C-pillar of the Prisma G2 is exclusive to the model, featuring a slope that connects to the high rear, giving a sense of continuity.

The sedan has a length of 4.27 m, while the Onix hatch measures 3.93 m. The trunk is also larger in the Prisma, with 500 liters compared to 280 liters in the Onix.

All other dimensions, such as wheelbase, width, and height, remain the same between the two models.

Although it is a sedan, the Prisma G2 offers the same interior space as the Onix, since the internal dimensions do not change.

The wheelbase of 2.52 m, height of 1.48 m, and width of 1.70 m are identical between the two models.

This may disappoint those expecting more space in a sedan, especially for families or those who use the car for personal transportation.

The instrument panel combines an analog tachometer with digital displays, in the style of the Chevrolet Sonic.

The dashboard features a central portion that may come in dark brown, mirroring the tone in parts of the seats and doors, to try to give a more sophisticated appearance to the interior, which is predominantly made up of hard plastics.

A Technological Car

The Chevrolet Prisma G2 was launched in two versions and three configurations: LT with 1.0 and 1.4 engines, and LTZ with a 1.4 engine.

Each version offers different levels of standard equipment, but like the Onix, the Prisma G2 is not known for its cutting-edge technology.

The basic LT version with a 1.0 engine includes power windows in the front doors, headlights with follow-me and lead-me functions, keyless remote door locks, electric locks with speed activation, and 14-inch wheels with hubcaps.

The LT 1.4 adds headlights with a black mask, 15-inch wheels, and darkened rear lights.

In terms of safety, all models offer ABS brakes, dual front airbags, height-adjustable steering wheel, anti-theft alarm, and external mirrors in the color of the vehicle.

What You Need to Know Before Buying a Chevrolet Prisma

The Chevrolet Prisma G2 excels in three main areas. The Market: The Prisma G2 repeated the success of the Onix, becoming an extremely commercial car and easy to negotiate in any situation.

It is the ideal model for those concerned about resale, as market acceptance is high.

The Maintenance: The Prisma is an entry-level car with a known mechanical set and no major technological innovations, making its maintenance more accessible.

This makes it a good choice for those needing a vehicle for frequent use, as preventative or corrective maintenance is less costly.

Multimedia: The Prisma, along with the Onix, was one of the first models to democratize the MyLink multimedia system, something that was previously inaccessible to many consumers.

However, the Chevrolet Prisma G2 has some downsides. Safety: Despite its success, the Prisma G2 has faced severe criticism for its low rating in Latin NCAP crash tests, receiving zero stars due to its weak structure and lack of safety features.

This situation only improved around 2018 when Chevrolet implemented structural reinforcements.

If safety is a priority, it is advisable to opt for models manufactured from 2018 onwards.

Performance: The performance of the Prisma G2 is average due to the limitations of the available engines.

Chevrolet chose not to offer more powerful engines, such as the 1.6 or 1.8, to avoid the Prisma competing directly with the Cobalt, resulting in a sedan with only satisfactory performance.

Technology: Despite the MyLink being an attraction, the Prisma G2 does not offer an extensive list of standard items. The more complete models come with the “dignity kit” basic, but not much beyond that. 

The Car and the Automotive Market

In the compact sedan market, the Chevrolet Prisma G2 faces strong competition from models like Hyundai HB20S, Ford Ka+, Renault Logan, Fiat Cronos, Volkswagen Voyage, Fiat Grand Siena, Nissan Versa, and Toyota Etios Sedan. All these models compete for consumer preference by offering different combinations of technology, performance, and cost-effectiveness.

Comprei um 0km 2016, excelente carro nunca me encomodou só por gasolina, troca de óleo e filtros e alegria. Na estrada faço 18km/litro.
