At the UzAuto Motors plant in Uzbekistan, they began to assemble a test series of Chevrolet Onix sedans. This model was to be delivered to Russia, but the sanctions meant that the plans were not destined to come true. However, things can still change.
Assembly of a pilot batch of Chevrolet Onix sedans will begin at a plant near Andijan, UzAuto Motors Telegram reported. Incidentally, this model for emerging markets is also produced in Brazil. There she leads the rating of the best sellers of the market, so the car came out quite successfully.
The novelty is built on the GEM (Global Emerging Markets) platform, which is “honed” for cheap compact models, and mainly for China and South America. In fact, this is a simplified Delta trolley, known from the Chevrolet Cruze.
The start of series production of Onyx is planned for early 2023. So far, they plan to sell it only in the local market, as UzAuto Motors has stopped deliveries to Russia. The fact is that the company’s assembly line comes with semiconductors and microcircuits, which are produced in South Korea, and this country has joined the Western sanctions.
In addition, General Motors even threatened the Uzbeks that in case of deliveries of cars to the Russian market, it could suspend contractual relations and “freeze” the factory. However, over time, the delivery of sedans to Russia can still be established. This can be done through private companies and the Chevrolet logo can be changed to Ravon. It is already known to our customers.
