Brands Like BYD, GWM, and Chery Lead the Advance of Chinese Cars in Brazil, and New Companies Are Already Confirmed by the End of the Year.
The car market in Brazil is changing fast. According to Quatro Rodas magazine, by the end of 2025, the country will have 12 Chinese car brands in operation. This presence is already becoming common on the streets, with electric and hybrid models gaining prominence. And it seems that this number could grow even further in the coming months.
According to Autoesporte, another four Chinese automakers are preparing to debut here, potentially raising the total to 16 brands by the end of the year. This shows that Brazil has become one of the main targets for Chinese automakers, who want to take advantage of the growing demand for more modern, economical vehicles with cutting-edge technology.
What Are the Brands Already in Brazil?
Currently, Brazil already has several Chinese automakers in operation, such as BYD, GWM (with Haval, Tank, and Ora), Chery, JAC, Omoda, Jaecoo, Neta, Leapmotor, Zeekr, SAIC, and Geely. This information was confirmed in a report by the portal Mobiauto.

OMODA & JAECOO grows in Europe in 2026 with an integrated strategy of sales, innovation, local production, and technological advancement in the United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain.
-
OMODA & JAECOO expands after-sales service in Brazil with competitive maintenance, a 7-year warranty, and high availability of parts for technological SUVs.
-
OMODA & JAECOO appoints Alessandra Souza as executive marketing director in Brazil and accelerates brand expansion with a focus on innovation, networking, and hybrid portfolio.
-
Jaecoo 7 with super hybrid SHS system exceeds 1,200 km of combined range with a 1.5 turbo engine, high-density battery, and intelligent energy management.
Brands like BYD and GWM are among the best-known and are already standing out in sales. According to Xinhua News, only in the first half of 2024, BYD sold 32,574 cars in Brazil, while GWM registered 12,730 vehicles. This success shows that Brazilians are becoming increasingly confident in Chinese models, especially electric and hybrid ones.
New Brands on the Way
Other Chinese companies are expected to arrive soon. Leapmotor, for example, will operate in partnership with the Stellantis Group and intends to bring two models to Brazil: the electric compact T03 and the SUV C10. The Zeekr brand, known for its luxury electric cars, is also confirmed and wants to compete with brands like Volvo and BMW, according to IstoÉ’s investigation.
These new brands promise to bring cars with competitive prices and modern technologies, which could further increase competition and provide more options for Brazilian consumers.
Why Are the Chinese Investing in Brazil?
Brazil is one of the largest car markets in the world. With the growing demand for electric and hybrid cars, Chinese automakers see here an opportunity to expand their businesses. Additionally, the demand for models with good cost-benefit and advanced technology is high, and brands from China excel precisely in these points.
According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, the advance of Chinese brands in Latin America is part of a larger strategy of global expansion. The idea is to occupy spaces left by traditional brands and win over the public with innovation, affordable prices, and energy efficiency.
