The Toyota Production Was Interrupted After Damages At Its Plant In Porto Feliz (SP). Understand Why Used Cars From The Brand May Become More Expensive And Which Models Are Affected.

The used cars from Toyota may become more valuable in Brazil after the shutdown of the automaker’s engine plant in Porto Feliz (SP).

The unit suffered significant damages on September 22, when a severe storm hit the region.

The location is responsible for producing flex engines that equip models such as Corolla and Corolla Cross, two of the most sought-after vehicles in the national market.

Why May Toyota Used Cars Rise In Price?

With the suspension of production, the expectation is for a decrease in the supply of new vehicles.

This scenario is likely to boost the demand for Toyota used cars, especially among consumers looking for Corolla and Corolla Cross.

To compensate for the lack of stock, some dealerships have started strategies for repurchasing vehicles from customers, trying to keep the showroom supplied.

The impact is not limited only to the models already established in the market.

The SUV Yaris Cross, considered one of Toyota’s main launches in Brazil in 2025, has also seen its schedule postponed.

The decision increases uncertainty about the brand’s presence in the new vehicle sector in the short term.

Reflections On Toyota Factories And Workers

The interruption in engine production in Porto Feliz has also affected the Indaiatuba and Sorocaba units, which depend on supplies to keep their lines active.

Leandro Soares, president of the Metalworkers’ Union of Sorocaba, evaluated the situation:

“It is likely that Toyota will not return to production in Brazil this year due to the lack of engines in Porto Feliz.”

About 4,600 workers were laid off, with deductions from their hour bank, until the end of September.

The Toyota also granted 20 days of collective vacation and is already preparing to adopt layoffs — temporary suspension of employment contracts — which may vary from two to five months.

Repair Costs And Alternatives

The company is still calculating the losses to repair the damage caused by the storm.

Among the alternatives being studied is the importation of engines, but high logistical costs make this solution less feasible in the short term.

For now, Toyota has not provided an official forecast for resuming normal activities.

Effect On The Consumer Pocket

For those looking to buy a vehicle, the scarcity of new Toyota cars is expected to push used prices up.

Meanwhile, owners considering selling may find a favorable scenario, with greater appreciation of their models.

The spotlight is on the pre-owned Corolla and Corolla Cross, which may become even more sought after until the automaker normalizes its production in the country.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

Engineers are storing 40,000 cubic meters of snow under wood chips to turn winter into a cooling system that seems unlikely, using meltwater to cool hospitals, servers, and medical equipment in the summer.

How much does it cost to maintain a 2019 Corolla at a basic level? The owner shows maintenance with oil change, filters, tire rotation, and cleaning.

With US$ 629 billion invested in 1,900 clean energy projects, Brazil consolidates itself as a renewable powerhouse — but still relies on fossil thermal power plants for 15% of its energy matrix.

English football giant pays millions for a book deemed the most expensive in the country’s history and donates it to encourage reading among young people.

In just 12 months, Brazil will install the equivalent of 9 nuclear power plants in solar and wind energy — a total of 9,142 MW new, a jump of 23.4% compared to the previous year.

While many focus only on batteries, Toyota is heavily investing in electric trucks with third-generation fuel cells and has signed an agreement with Isuzu for the mass production of a light model expected to arrive in 2027.

The first automaker in the world to promise 1,000 real kilometers with a solid-state battery already has a production line set up, 50 cars in operation, and a date set for September 2026.

A brand that has been manufacturing motorcycles since 1901 launches its first electric model, and the price shocked the world: $3,000, weighing only 124 kg and accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in 3.7 seconds…
