The Million-Dollar Plan of Chevrolet: Innovations and Investments in Brazil Until 2028
Chevrolet has revealed its ambitious investment plan for Brazil between 2024 and 2028, totaling an impressive R$ 7 billion, according to Vrum Notícias. This investment not only promises the renewal of already established models, such as the restyled Spin, but also brings the promise of introducing new vehicles, including the highly anticipated Onix SUV. In this article, we will explore the expectations surrounding this unprecedented model that is scheduled to hit the market in 2026.
The Strategy Behind the Onix SUV: A Muscular Argo in Chevrolet’s Sights
Chevrolet’s vision for the Onix SUV is not simply to replicate the Chevrolet Tracker, which shares a platform and mechanical set with the Onix. The automaker seeks inspiration from success stories like the Fiat Pulse, a more robust-looking Argo. Similar to Volkswagen’s approach with the Polo and Nivus, Chevrolet plans to maintain the monocoque and some body components of the hatch, while raising the suspensions to achieve a minimum height of 20 centimeters, an essential requirement for classification as an SUV.
Advanced Interior and Powerful Engine: What to Expect from the Onix SUV in 2026
Inside the Onix SUV, we anticipate features that reflect the new generation of Chevrolet, including a small digital instrument cluster integrated into the multimedia center. The innovations don’t stop there, as the model will feature a 1.0 turbo flex engine, developing 116 hp of power, whether using gasoline or ethanol, and significant torque. The six-speed automatic transmission will provide a smoother and more efficient driving experience.

Production will be concentrated at the Gravataí (RS) plant, which is already responsible for manufacturing the Onix family, composed of the hatch and the sedan.
