Chevrolet Onix Plus dominates the used car market: Find out if it's worth buying the sedan for R$60 in 2024.
The Chevrolet Onix Plus, the sedan version of the iconic Onix, was launched in late 2019 with the aim of replacing the popular Prisma. However, the Prisma Joy still remained available for some time as an entry-level option. Since then, the Onix Plus has stood out in the automotive market, consolidating itself as a one of the most sought after options among compact sedans. With affordable prices, especially in the used market, the model has attracted drivers looking for economy, technology and reliability.
A little bit of history of the Chevrolet Onix Plus in the automotive market
The Plus arrived in the basic version called Onix, in addition to the LT, LTZ and the new Premier. The highlight is the interior space, which has grown in relation to the Prisma. In total, it is 4,47 m long (19 cm more), 1,74 m wide (4 cm), and the wheelbase is 2,60 cm (8 cm). The trunk is smaller, 469 liters compared to the 500 liters of the Prisma.
Among the engine options, the sedan debuted the three-cylinder Ecotec in two configurations: the 1.0 12V naturally aspirated (up to 82 hp/10,6 kgfm) and 1.0 12V with turbo (up to 116 hp/16,8 kgfm), both associated with the manual or automatic gearbox, always with six gears.

In the list of standard equipment items, from the simplest models, the customer is already provided with six airbags, hill start assist, stability and traction control, front and rear USB inputs, radio, fog lights, 15-inch alloy wheels, OnStar and Wifi system, cruise control, among other items that were reserved for the more expensive versions.
What is the best version of the Chevrolet sedan to buy in 2024?
All Chevrolet Onix Plus units have their own qualities and comfort levels, depending on the version, and what makes the model stand out most in the automotive market is its excellent cost-benefit ratio. From the simplest version, without the Onix Plus domination, the Chevrolet sedan already comes well equipped with important safety features such as, for example, the six airbags, as mentioned above.
With prices starting at R$60 for a 2020 model, according to the Fipe table, on the main websites it is possible to find Chevrolet Onix Plus units at up to 20% below the official table.
In terms of fuel consumption, the 1.0 naturally aspirated with manual transmission can do up to 10,1 km/l in the city and 12,5 km/l on the highway (ethanol) and 14,3 km/l in the city and 17,7 km/l on the highway (gasoline). If you insist on the automatic, it is important to know that it also has its legion of fans and does very well in the used car market.
What to look for when purchasing?
When buying a Chevrolet Onix Plus, it is important to pay attention to a few things. Look underneath and check for scratches on the bumper and especially on the oil pan, which may leak oil depending on the damage caused by the impact. The tip is to install a steel plate oil pan protector at specialized stores.
Even in cars with low mileage, complaints about the braking system are not an isolated case. One of the noises originating comes from the rear, more specifically due to the slack in the rear brake linings, a chronic problem that also impacts the Tracker line.
At the end of 2019, the brand recalled the 2020 Chevrolet Onix Plus units manufactured between April 29, 2019 and November 06, 2019. The service is to update the calibration of the engine control module and can still be scheduled with the brand's network of dealerships and authorized workshops.
The car is not just good looking
Sure
Mine is a 20/20 and has 85k. The best car on the market. Only those who have it have the right to speak. I bought it brand new and took it out of the dealership with 5 km on it.
Only those who have the right to speak, right? I have a 2022 and even using Militec in the engine, I had to change the timing belt after just over 100 thousand km.
You'll be amazed, when I contacted Chevrolet here in Palmas -TO I was informed that the replacement would cost from 6 thousand if it was just the belt. This is not maintenance for a so-called "popular" car.
Apart from the disposable 3-cylinder engine, the car is excellent.
