The race for the most affordable people's car
In an increasingly expensive car market, popular car options like these five models continue to attract attention.
Consumers looking to purchase an affordable vehicle face a complex situation: although prices have stabilized, they remain high for a large part of the population.
According to experts, maintaining prices below R$90 for popular models represents an effort by automakers to remain competitive and continue meeting the demand for economical vehicles.
For many Brazilians, the dream of owning a brand new car is still difficult to achieve, especially due to the rising cost of living and financing rates.
In a scenario where values remain high, these five models offer some hope, but the question remains: How long will Brazilians have to deal with such high prices to buy a new car? Leave your answer in the comments!
Excuse me. I drive a Kwid, provided by the company I work for. In addition to being ****, it also drinks more than an alcoholic in a rehabilitation center. Don't buy it! Stay away from a Renault dealership. It's a junk car.
We Brazilians will have to deal with the high prices of new vehicles for as long as we continue to pay for them.
Chinese electric cars, although still questionable in my opinion in some aspects, are forcing traditional car manufacturers based in our country to rethink their prices as they are facing a new “voracious player” that promises to devour them if given the opportunity.
I still wonder if Chinese manufacturers set up their assembly plants in Brazil and start producing their components here or if they launch a vehicle in this segment…
Would it be a dream or a prediction very close to reality?
Cars in Brazil are expensive because of taxes that reach 40% of the value. In short, Brazil with its politics is a never-ending robbery!
This government's taxes influence car prices. We have to lower taxes and put an end to this government's theft.
Brazilian, I'm a sucker* I won't buy this Onix, not even for fun, the expression is true, the 1.0 3 cylinder engine is a real bomb, the engine is still weak, the oil timing belt is just a problem, the engineer ruined the car, the old Onix is so good, but the Onix is full of defects, when the engine breaks down, you can't fix it, even if you can, it won't run for long, the engine is expensive, change that one. The oil belt is also expensive, almost 3000, jump out of this car, the 3 cylinder is no good, this one can be worse, the turbo breaks too much.
I would venture argo at least current command maintenance for better cheaper.
In 2020, this car cost 45.000 to 55.000, according to the report.
Cars in Brazil have become a joke.
When you buy Onix, think long term, 2 years, it will cause problems.
You're screwed
Fire engine 1.0, 1.3 and 1.5
Old Celta and Onix 1. 0 and 1.4 engine
Reliable engines, all 4 cylinders, usually all dry timing belt.
Onix worst cars people are going to dump 3 cylinder engine and oil bathed belt. All 3 cylinder are horrible
It's not that we're idiots for paying so much for new cars in Brazil!
The problem is that some people with more wealth continue to buy deliberately!
And they don't know the power of a boycott!!!
Car manufacturers and especially our rotten and complete **** government also open your eyes!!!
