Chronology
PredecessorChevrolet Cavalier
Chevrolet Cruze

The Chevrolet Monza (Chinese: 科鲁泽; pinyin: kēwòzī) is a compact sedan produced by General Motors through its SAIC-GM joint venture under the Chevrolet brand. Prior to the introduction of the vehicle, the Monza nameplate was previously used in the 20th century for unrelated compact models in the North and South American markets.[1] It is the successor of the fourth generation Chevrolet Cavalier previously sold under the 科沃兹 kewozi nameplate, which is now used for the Chevrolet Onix positioned below the Monza.

History

The Monza debuted in November 2018 at the Guangzhou Auto Show. Since 21 March 2019, it is sold in China. It is built on the GM-PATAC K platform shared with the Buick Excelle GT and the Buick GL6 use.[2]

Starting in late 2021, the Monza was exported to Mexico as the Cavalier Turbo. It was positioned above the Onix and replaced the previous generation Cavalier.[3][4] It was available in three trim levels; LS, LT, and RS.[5] The Cavalier was discontinued in July 2025, leaving the Aveo and Onix as the only Chevrolet passenger cars sold in Mexico.[6]
