Starting in 2026, several used cars will be exempt from IPVA across the country. Understand which models will be benefited, why the measure was adopted, and how it impacts drivers.
Starting in 2026, drivers across the country will have a significant change in their wallets: several used cars will become exempt from IPVA, as announced by the state finance departments.
The measure, which will apply to vehicles over 20 years old and to categories defined by each state, will be implemented throughout Brazil and will take effect in the first tax calendar of the coming year.
The decision comes amid rising maintenance costs and declining sales of used cars, aiming to alleviate owners’ expenses and stimulate the gradual renewal of the fleet.

Used Cars With IPVA Exemption in 2026
CrossFox 1.6 2006: The Urban Adventurer That Returns to the Showcases
The Volkswagen CrossFox 2006, now found starting at R$ 21,900, returns to buyers’ radars for a simple reason: in 2026, it will join the ranks of used cars exempt from IPVA.
When it launched, the model captured a young audience looking for a robust appearance without giving up urban use.
The spare tire fixed on the rear and the details that mimicked off-road accessories created the look of a mini adventurer.
Under the hood, the 1.6 flex engine with 103 hp delivers well on its promises, working alongside the five-speed manual transmission.
The cabin features air conditioning, multifunction steering wheel, CD player, and onboard computer.
The only care needed is with the side opening of the spare tire support, which can hinder access to the 260-liter trunk in tight parking spots.
Chevrolet Vectra Elegance 2006: Sedan Comfort and Now With Exemption
Another model benefiting from the new round of exemptions is the Chevrolet Vectra Elegance 2006, available starting at R$ 29,900.
The generational change at the time brought refined finishes and a modern look, marking a leap in the lineup.
Equipped with a 2.0 flex engine with 127 hp and options for manual or automatic transmission, the Vectra has always stood out for its spacious interior and comfort.
Since many features were optional, it’s easy to find units with various packages — some with ABS, six airbags, cruise control, and dual-zone digital air conditioning.
Even the simpler models guaranteed air conditioning and a CD player.
Ford Fiesta 1.6 2006: Simple, Tough, and Among the IPVA Exempt
The Ford Fiesta 1.6 2006, valued starting at R$ 16,800, reinforces the list of used cars exempt from IPVA with a set known for its durability.
Without luxury pretensions, it has always delivered what Brazilian consumers value: reliable mechanics, low maintenance costs, and good drivability.
Its 1.6 Zetec Rocam engine produces 111 hp and works with a manual transmission. The interior is basic, featuring a radio with CD player and, in the better-equipped versions, air conditioning.
The trunk, with 305 liters, is one of the highlights — larger than many modern compacts.
Fiat Idea 1.4 2006: The Practical Minivan That Gains Prominence Again
The Fiat Idea EXL 1.4 2006, with prices starting at R$ 19,900, is once again drawing attention with the arrival of the exemption.
In the 2000s, few options managed to deliver so much space in a compact car. With a height of 1.68 m, the model comfortably accommodated passengers and also offered a 380-liter trunk.
Its 1.4 flex engine with 81 hp prioritizes fuel economy. Inside, there is air conditioning, a colored dashboard, an onboard computer, and several storage compartments — even on the ceiling, an unusual feature even today.
Toyota Fielder XEI 1.8 2006: The Station Wagon That Remains Unbeatable in Practicality
Among the models exempt from IPVA, the Toyota Fielder XEI 1.8 2006, available starting at R$ 36,300, is the most complete option on the list.
Directly derived from the Corolla, the station wagon offers the brand’s typical robustness and a giant 411-liter trunk, surpassing many current SUVs.
The 1.8 flex engine with 136 hp delivers good performance, and the car could be acquired with a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic.
Features such as air conditioning, electric mirrors, and a radio with CD player were present, reinforcing the appeal of practicality and comfort.
After All, Is It Worth Investing in These Used Cars in 2026?
With the arrival of the IPVA exemption starting in 2026, cars that once seemed merely good memories of the market gain new life and once again figure as interesting alternatives for those seeking savings without giving up comfort, space, or reliability.
Models like CrossFox, Vectra, Fiesta, Idea, and Fielder show that, with proper maintenance, older vehicles can still meet daily needs effectively.
The change in taxation not only eases drivers’ wallets but also rescues the value of well-known used cars, making them rational choices in an increasingly high-priced automotive market.
