At the UzAuto Motors facility in Asaka, production of Chevrolet Onix sedans has commenced, marking a notable step in local automotive manufacturing in the region. The plant’s output reflects a growing integration of international models into Central Asian markets, with assembly lines geared toward meeting demand for compact sedans in neighboring countries as well as inside Uzbekistan itself.
Prices for the Onix in Uzbekistan span from 149 to 215 million, equivalent to 0.98 to 1.41 million rubles, illustrating a broad range of configurations designed to cater to different buyer budgets and preferences (UzAuto Motors). This price spread helps balance entry-level affordability with more feature-rich variants, making the Onix a practical choice for families and urban commuters alike.
In terms of dimensions and design, the sedan shares several characteristics with the Lada Vesta, including a total length approaching 4.5 meters. Buyers can select between a three-cylinder 1.2-liter engine with aspirated power or a version equipped with a turbocharger for enhanced performance. This engine lineup mirrors a strategy to offer efficiency-focused, cost-conscious options alongside more spirited power delivery to suit varied driving needs (UzAuto Motors).
As of now, local production localization at the Uzbek plant sits at 50 percent, with a clear plan to raise this share to 70 percent in the near to mid term. This effort reflects a broader push to boost domestic sourcing, create more regional employment, and reduce dependency on imported components, all while maintaining competitive pricing and timely supply for the market (UzAuto Motors).

The basic Onix configuration includes two airbags, ABS and ESP stability control, air conditioning, power windows, a heated wiper mount, and an integrated audio system. Notably, the aspirated 90-horsepower engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission delivers an official fuel consumption of about 5.9 liters of AI-92 gasoline per 100 kilometers in mixed driving conditions, highlighting a balance between performance and efficiency for daily use (UzAuto Motors).
Chevrolets from Uzbekistan are not officially imported into Russia, though parallel import channels could potentially facilitate some shipments, as market dynamics and regulatory frameworks evolve across the region (UzAuto Motors).
