General Motors Brazil is getting ready to introduce the all-new
Chevrolet Onix later this month at the
27th São Paulo International Automobile Trade Show, and while GM released a few teaser images of the new hatchback,
AutosSegredos managed to dig up some full images of the car. As pixilated and blurry as these pictures are, we do get a good look at what looks to be an attractive small hatchback that will almost certainly never be sold in the North America.
According to the article, the Onix rides on GM's Gamma II Global Small Vehicle platform (shared with
Chevrolet Spark and
Chevrolet Sonic), so we aren't really brokenhearted that we won't be seeing this car here. We can't help but note that the Onix also rides on a platform related to the one underneath the
2013 Chevrolet Trax, a cute ute we would rather see in America instead of its costlier counterpart, the
Buick Encore. In terms of styling, we would put the Onix somewhere in between the goofy-looking Spark and the aggressive Sonic with a handsome design that is punctuated by diamond-shaped headlights and sharp lines starting with the hood and continuing along the sides of the body. The front view of the Onix is unmistakably Chevrolet, but the rear strikes us as a bit...
Mazda2.
The Onix will help introduce Chevrolet's
MyLink infotainment system and it will also be one of the few cars in its class to offer a six-speed automatic transmission.
To see more pictures of the new Chevrolet Onix, be sure to head over to
AutosSegredos or check out GM Brazil's official
teaser images in our gallery.
Scroll down to read the press release (loosely translated by Google Translate), or if you're in São Paulo, the Onix will be on display at the auto show that runs from October 21 through Nov 4.
