2021 Chevrolet Onix problems

chevrolet logo

The Chevrolet Onix is a subcompact car launched by American automaker Chevrolet in Brazil at the 2012 São Paulo International Motor Show and the second generation in China at the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show. In Brazil, it was launched to replace the Chevrolet Corsa and some versions of the Chevrolet Celta. Mainly produced in General Motors Brazil’s plants in Gravataí and São Caetano do Sul, the Onix is a five-door hatchback. A sedan version is sold as the Chevrolet Onix Plus in Brazil, and as the Onix sedan in Colombia. The Onix has also been produced in Uzbekistan since 2022 by UzAuto Motors.

First generation (2013)

The first generation Onix was available in three trim levels (LS, LT and LTZ) with two 4-cylinder engines, the 1.0-liter producing 78 PS (57 kW; 77 bhp) (gasoline)/80 PS (59 kW; 79 bhp) (ethanol) and 1.4-liter 98 PS (72 kW; 97 bhp) (gasoline)/106 PS (78 kW; 105 bhp) (ethanol) offering automatic or five-speed manual transmission. In Brazil, the 4-door sedan variant was known as the Chevrolet Prisma.

For 2017, the Onix and Prisma received a facelift, along with interior improvements. A touchscreen was added with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. The LS trim level kept the original front end and became known as the Onix Joy and Prisma Joy, leaving the LT as the base trim for the updated Onix/Prisma. A crossover-like version called the Onix Activ was also added, with raised suspension, plastic body cladding and roof rack.

In late 2019, the Onix and Prisma were replaced in Brazil by the second-generation Onix and Onix Plus, respectively. However, the Onix Joy and Prisma Joy remained available, and were renamed Joy and Joy Plus, respectively. The Joy and Joy Plus have been built at the São Caetano do Sul plant in Brazil from 2019 through 2022. Production will move to GM Colmotores in Colombia in early 2023.

Common 2021 Chevrolet Onix problems

The Chevrolet Onix, introduced in 2021, has been a popular choice among car buyers due to its affordability and decent exterior design. However, like any other vehicle, it is not without its issues. Based on complaints from owners, here are some common problems with the Chevrolet Onix 2021:

  • Infotainment Issues: Infotainment is the leading design-related problem, with issues totaling 24 PP100. Among those, the number of design problems accounts for 17 PP100, becoming the highest category of design-related problems. The top 5 infotainment design problems are: radio poor/no reception; not enough power plugs/USB ports; touchscreen/display screen - DTU/too much glare/gets dirty too easily; built-in navigation system – inaccurate; built-in voice recognition - frequently doesn't recognize commands/DTU.
  • Basic Safety Equipment: The 2022 Chevrolet Onix comes with basic safety equipment, including rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, 4 airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Control, and Hill Start Assist. While this equipment is standard, it may not be sufficient to meet the expectations of some buyers seeking advanced safety features.
  • Powertrain and Performance: The all-new 2022 Chevrolet Onix is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine that's naturally aspirated. While the engine produces 110hp and 147 Nm of torque, it's mated to a CVT gearbox for better fuel economy, resulting in a combined fuel consumption of 6.2 L/100 km or 15.9 kpl, which is not very impressive for a small SUV.
  • Exterior Design: The exterior design of the 2022 Chevrolet Onix may not set your trousers on fire for the way it looks or makes you feel when you look at it. However, the front-end of the 2022 Chevrolet Onix does sport a rather pleasing look with its sloping hood, sleek LED DRL setup up top, matched with a wide grille, bumper-mounted headlights, and a satin-finished lower air dam with black bumper extensions.

In conclusion, the Chevrolet Onix 2021 has some common problems, including design-related issues, infotainment problems, basic safety equipment, powertrain and performance concerns, and exterior design limitations. However, it's essential to note that not all vehicles of this model will experience these issues, and some may not encounter any problems at all.
