The Chevrolet Onix is a subcompact car launched by American automaker Chevrolet in Brazil at the 2012 São Paulo International Motor Show[1] to succeed some versions of Chevrolet Celta. Offered initially as a five-door hatchback, a four-door sedan was launched in 2013 and called the Chevrolet Prisma.[2] The Onix is currently only sold in some South American countries part of Mercosur, including Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay.
