Renault Kwid bids farewell to Brazil: the model that was once the cheapest in the country lost ground after selling only 217 units in 2026, is removed from the brand’s website, and ends the trajectory of Renault’s electric compact in the Brazilian market.

The Sedan version of the Yaris, sold at R$ 88 thousand, had a margin of 9.2%. This change in the scenario reflects a diversification of consumer preferences, according to Fábio Braga, Country Manager of MegaDealer, in an interview with the Terra portal.
Trends in the Used Market
The Megadealer Study on Used Vehicle Performance (PVU) highlighted solid results for the used market in October, with the average sale reaching R$ 81,154.
The gross margin rose to 10.8%, and the average inventory turnover time dropped to 34 days, the lowest rate in years.

Data from the National Federation of Automotive Vehicle Distribution (Fenabrave) shows that 1,073,409 used cars and light commercial vehicles were sold during the period, a significant increase compared to the previous year, which recorded 883 thousand units, representing a growth of 10.1%.
Return on Investment and Future Trends
The segment of lightly used vehicles up to three years old showed remarkable performance, with dealerships reporting a return on investment (ROI) of 69% and an average conversion rate of 18%.
These numbers underscore the attractiveness of the used vehicle market for investors and consumers. The success of the Chery Tiggo 5X not only led the market but also indicated a shift in buying trends among Brazilian consumers.
With the continued growth of this segment, the future looks promising for both brands and dealerships, reinforcing the presence of the Chery Tiggo 5X as a leader in the competitive used vehicle market.
