Plan d’maintenance Chevrolet Onix I

Launched in Brazil in late 2012, the first-generation Chevrolet Onix quickly ascended to become South America's most popular passenger car. Combining tidy hatchback styling, a well-packaged interior, and user-friendly MyLink infotainment, it prioritised accessible motoring for millions of drivers. Rigorous Chevrolet Onix maintenance is essential to ensure this ubiquitous city hatchback retains its long-term mechanical reliability.

Under the bonnet, the SPE/4 1.0 and 1.4-litre eight-valve Flex engines represent simple, well-proven GM technology. However, both engines utilise a rubber cambelt requiring strict replacement intervals alongside the water pump and tensioner pulley to avoid internal valvetrain destruction. Flex-fuel versions incorporate a cold-start petrol reservoir (`tanquinho`) that can gum up if filled with stagnant petrol. The optional six-speed automatic gearbox requires regular fluid renewals to prevent low-speed shift hesitation.
