Mais um rival para Pulse e Tera: Chevrolet confirma SUV nacional abaixo do Tracker

Chevrolet Confirms Unprecedented Model Below the Tracker, with 1.0 Turbo Engine, Robust Look, and National Production Starting in 2026

General Motors has revealed the first images of the new Onix SUV, which will be produced at the Gravataí (RS) plant. The new model will fill the gap between the Onix hatch and the Tracker SUV, with a launch expected in 2026.

The model, still camouflaged, was shown during an institutional video for the plant’s 25th anniversary. It reinforces GM’s focus on expanding its presence in the entry-level compact SUV segment, where it will compete with Fiat Pulse, Renault Kardian, and VW Tera.

Robust Design and Unprecedented Look for the New Onix SUV

Even under heavy camouflage, the new Onix SUV displays a more aggressive and elevated style. The LED headlights are positioned at the ends of the bumper, while the daytime running lights are at the top, simulating the main headlights. The lower grille is wide and incorporates fog lights, highlighting the Chevrolet emblem in the center.

Onix Platform with 1.0 Turbo Engine and Technological Interior

The new Onix SUV will be built on the same platform as the Onix, with a wheelbase of 2.55 m and about 4.15 m in length, close to the size of the VW Tera. The expectation is that it will bring a 1.0 turbo engine with up to 116 hp, along with versions with a naturally aspirated engine of 82 hp. The more expensive configurations are expected to use a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Inside, the SUV will follow the pattern of the latest Chevrolet models, featuring a digtal dashboard, 11” multimedia system with Wi-Fi, digital air conditioning, induction charger, and complete integration with smartphones.

Gravataí Plant Will Be Modernized to Receive the New SUV

The development of the new Onix SUV marks a new phase for the Gravataí plant, which has already received over R$ 6 billion in investments since its inauguration in 2000. In 2024 alone, R$ 1.2 billion was allocated to prepare the assembly line for this project.

The Chevrolet strategy aims to strengthen its competitiveness in one of the most competitive niches in the country: compact SUVs below R$ 120,000, where Fiat, Renault, and VW compete for every inch of market share with constant launches.

Parece ser muito bonito, mas com motor fraco deveria ter mais potência e torque.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
