Chevrolet Shocks The Market And Reveals The SUV Version Of Onix: New SUV Is Cheaper Than Yaris Cross And Pulse, And Promises To Sell Like Hotcakes!
If you thought the Chevrolet Onix had already reached its peak, get ready to be surprised. The American automaker is about to transform the favorite of Brazilians into an SUV that promises to shake up the market and leave competitors like Toyota Yaris Cross and Fiat Pulse behind.
With innovative design, cutting-edge technology, and a price that will impact your wallet, the new Onix SUV is Chevrolet’s bet to dominate the streets and win even more hearts. And you, will you miss out on this revolution?
Chevrolet Onix Is Turning Into An SUV And Will Be Produced In Gravataí, Rio Grande Do Sul
The Chevrolet Onix, one of the most popular cars in Brazil, is about to undergo a radical transformation. The American automaker has confirmed that the model will gain an SUV version, bringing a new option for those seeking style and performance.
-
It surpassed the T-Cross, Creta, and Tracker: with nearly 8,000 units sold, the Volkswagen Tera was the best-selling SUV in March 2026.
-
Honda performs miracles in fuel consumption with a hatch that marks 13.2 km/l in the city and 15 km/l on the highway, leaving Polo, HB20, 208, and Onix behind and becoming a reference among compact cars without resorting to turbo or hybrid systems.

Six diseases that seem common but can prevent the renewal of the driver’s license for the elderly throughout Brazil and surprise experienced drivers — could any of them affect you without showing clear signs?
-
With 122 hp, fuel consumption of up to 17.7 km/l, and a trunk capacity of 440 liters, this hybrid SUV impresses even though it costs up to R$ 47,000 more than the Yaris — meet the Toyota Corolla Cross.
Production will be in Gravataí, Rio Grande do Sul, the same location where the hatch and sedan models of the Onix family are manufactured.
New SUV From Chevrolet Promises To End The Reign Of Toyota Yaris Cross
Chevrolet plans to position the new SUV below the Tracker, creating a more affordable alternative in the market. With prices ranging from R$ 100 thousand to R$ 130 thousand, the goal is to compete with models like the Toyota Yaris Cross, Renault Kardian, VW A0SUV, Fiat Pulse, and Honda WR-V. The brand will leverage much of the Onix’s structure, using the GEM platform and sharing parts to ensure competitiveness in the segment.
This new version of the Onix SUV will feature characteristics reminiscent of the hatch model, but with significant adaptations. The front will be raised, the suspensions more robust, and the vehicle will gain embellishments on the wheel arches, adopting the classic form of an SUV. However, many internal and structural elements, such as the A and B pillars, will be retained from the original Onix, ensuring the model’s identity.
Additionally, to avoid competing directly with the Tracker, the Onix SUV will have slightly smaller dimensions. The wheelbase will be 2.55 meters, slightly below the 2.57 meters of the Tracker, maintaining the hierarchy among Chevrolet models. The engine will be the well-known 1.0 turbo flex, with up to 116 hp of power and 16.8 kgfm of torque, available in manual and automatic six-speed versions.
The New SUV Project Is Part Of An Investment Of R$ 1.2 Billion In The Gravataí Plant
But the news doesn’t stop there. According to information from journalist Fernando Calmon, the Onix SUV is expected to arrive on the market with a hybrid-flex powertrain. The setup will include an electric motor replacing the starter and alternator, assisting in starts and cruising speed. This system, similar to that of the Kia Stonic, will increase torque and power, offering a more efficient driving experience.
The new SUV project is part of an investment of R$ 1.2 billion in the Gravataí plant, which will also serve to renew the entire Onix family. The forecast is that the model will be launched in 2026, but it is already generating anticipation in the market. With the introduction of this new SUV, Chevrolet aims to reinforce its presence in the competitive sports utility vehicle segment, offering an attractive option for those seeking a compact, modern, and efficient vehicle.
