Success of the Chevrolet Cobalt in Brazil

The Chevrolet Cobalt, launched in Brazil in 2011, quickly established itself as one of the most popular compact sedans in the Brazilian market, thanks to its combination of generous interior space, comfort and an attractive equipment package for the category. Produced by General Motors do Brasil, the Cobalt was developed especially to meet the demands of Latin American markets, significantly differentiating itself from its North American namesake, which was produced from 2005 to 2010.

In Brazil, the Cobalt stood out for offering one of the best interior spaces in its category, with emphasis on the ample space in the rear seat and a generous trunk, features highly valued by Brazilian consumers. Initially equipped with a 1.4 EconoFlex engine, in 2012 the Cobalt also received new 1.8 engines, including the option of a six-speed automatic transmission, expanding its appeal in the segment.

In 2016, the Cobalt underwent a significant restyling, receiving aesthetic and equipment improvements that reinforced its position in the market. These changes contributed to an increase in sales, which returned to the average level of 2300 units per month. From the 2017 model onwards, the Cobalt received improvements to the automatic transmission and injection/ignition, in addition to weight reductions and the adoption of low rolling resistance tires, addressing the main criticisms of the model related to fuel consumption.
