The Range of Up to R$ 75 Thousand Still Includes Automatic Hatchbacks, Sedans, and SUVs from Hyundai with Distinct Proposals, from the Most Spacious Utility to the Most Up-to-Date Turbo Compact, in a Used Car Market that Continues to Value Comfort, Parts Availability, and Widely Known Mechanics.
The automatic used cars from Hyundai remain among the most present names in the searches of those looking to escape the manual transmission without breaking the budget.
In the ad filtering from Mercado Livre available in March 2026, it is still possible to find five models from the brand for up to R$ 75 thousand, with quite different proposals from each other, from the veteran SUV to the compact turbo sedan.
The list includes cars that became known for relying, in a good part of the lineup, on conventional automatic transmissions with torque converters.

This set tends to weigh in favor in the used car market because it delivers predictable operation, maintenance more familiar to independent workshops, and a smoother driving experience in urban use, an aspect valued by those buying a pre-owned car for everyday use.
Hyundai Tucson Automatic Opens the Entry-Level Segment
In the entry-level segment appears the Hyundai Tucson automatic, with listings starting from R$ 35,900.
The cheapest model found is a 2010 unit listed at this price point, which keeps the utility as one of the most accessible entry points for those wanting an automatic SUV from the brand without exceeding R$ 40 thousand.
In the mechanical set, the old Tucson combines 2.0 naturally aspirated gasoline engine with 142 hp and 18.8 kgfm with a four-speed automatic transmission.
It is an older project, but it still draws attention for its internal space, elevated driving position, and a history of robustness that helped the model establish itself in the Brazilian market for many years.
The point of attention is on fuel consumption and the age of the fleet, as most of the cheaper units exceed ten years of use.
Still, front airbags, hydraulic steering, air conditioning, and power controls appear frequently in the most common versions, which keep the Tucson as an alternative for those prioritizing size and comfort over recent technology.
Hyundai HB20 Automatic Remains Strong in Urban Use
Among compacts, the HB20 automatic continues to be one of the easiest options to find.
There is a listing for an automatic unit for R$ 44,900, while the filtered results for models from 2013 to 2016 show a floor of about R$ 45 thousand, which keeps the hatch within the proposed ceiling and with a numerous offering in the market.
In the more recent 1.6 automatic versions within this range, the hatch features a 128 hp engine with 16.5 kgfm.
Unlike what still appears in many texts replicated on the internet, the models from 2017 onward already use six-speed automatic transmission, not the old four-speed gearbox, which improves smoothness and engine efficiency in daily use.
With a 300-liter trunk and compact dimensions, the HB20 serves those who drive more in the city and seek an automatic with a well-known mechanic.
Depending on the version, it is possible to find items like electrical steering, alloy wheels, steering wheel controls, fog lights, and multimedia center, a combination that helps explain the good liquidity of the model in the used car market.
Used Hyundai ix35 Combines 2.0 Engine and Six-Speed Transmission
For those wanting a more modern utility than the Tucson, the ix35 automatic remains a natural alternative.
A listing for the model appears for R$ 57,900, placing the SUV in an intermediate range where there’s still room to seek units with more equipment and a design less outdated than its predecessor.
The ix35 uses a 2.0 flex engine with up to 167 hp and 20.6 kgfm, always paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
In the consulted technical sheets, the trunk appears with 465 liters, while fuel consumption with gasoline varies according to the version and wheel size, averaging around 10 km/l in the city and between 11 and 11.6 km/l on the highway according to publicly available data widely used by the market.
In addition to the stronger engine, the ix35 usually delivers a higher list of features compared to older Hyundai models sold in the same range.
Stability control, electrical steering, cruise control, digital air conditioning, and multimedia center frequently appear among the recurring items, reinforcing the model’s position as a transitional option for those wanting a more current automatic SUV without jumping to much higher prices.
Hyundai Creta Automatic Joins the Competition Below R$ 75 Thousand
The Creta automatic begins at R$ 69,900 in the ads consulted, staying within the limit of R$ 75 thousand.
In this range, it represents a profile change compared to the Tucson and ix35, as it delivers a newer project, more focus on urban use, and a safety package more aligned with what is expected from a recent compact utility.
The 1.6 automatic versions of the first generation are equipped with a 130 hp engine and six-speed automatic transmission.
Catalogs and materials from Hyundai indicate the trunk of 431 liters and the presence of items such as stability control, hill start assist, and electrical steering, a combination that helped the model gain space precisely among consumers looking for an SUV without sacrificing simple drivability.
In practice, the Creta tends to appeal to those wanting a more recent Hyundai automatic compared to the ix35 but still within a controlled budget.
The offering below R$ 70 thousand is not as broad as the compact hatchback options, however, the model appears as a rational alternative for small families and drivers who split usage between city and highway.
Hyundai HB20S Turbo Closes the List at the Budget Limit
At the top of the selection is the HB20S automatic, which can already be found for R$ 74,800 in the listing of a 2020 unit, in addition to general results indicating a floor of R$ 75 thousand for the model on the platform.
Thus, the sedan enters the equation by a narrow margin, but still fits within the Hyundai automatic range below R$ 75 thousand.
The highlight is the 1.0 TGDI engine with 120 hp and 17.5 kgfm, coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Catalogs from the brand and market sheets confirm this setup, which positioned the HB20S in a more competitive place among compact sedans by combining sufficient performance for highway use and higher gasoline consumption than larger naturally aspirated models.
Also weighing in its favor is the equipment package, which can include six airbags, stability and traction controls, hill start assist, multimedia center with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and steering wheel controls.
Therefore, among the five names listed, the HB20S often delivers the feeling closest to a modern car without exceeding the barrier of R$ 75 thousand.
