Survey by OLX and Fenauto Points Out the Most Advantageous Models in the Used Car Market
Given the rising prices of new vehicles, many consumers have found in the used car market a more viable alternative to acquire a car with good performance, safety, and technology. Within the range of up to R$ 100 thousand, there are several options with excellent cost-benefit, especially among models that are up to three years old, according to the NSC Total website.
Midsize Sedans Remain a Synonym for Reliability and Comfort
Among the most sought-after sedans in the used market, the Toyota Corolla stands as a reference in reliability. Models manufactured from 2015 onwards offer refined finishes, a good level of technology, and a proven track record of mechanical durability, making it one of the most appreciated vehicles in resale.
Another highlight among sedans is the Honda Civic, especially in the 2015 to 2018 versions. The model offers an efficient combination of performance, safety, and comfort, making it a solid alternative for those seeking sophistication without sacrificing economy.

Midsize and Compact Pickup Trucks Stand Out for Their Robustness
For consumers needing vehicles with greater capacity for use in more demanding terrains, two options catch the eye: the Toyota Hilux and the Chevrolet S10. The Hilux, known for its strength and reliability, can be found in flex or diesel versions produced between 2006 and 2018, with either 4×2 or 4×4 traction.
The Chevrolet S10, on the other hand, offers good alternatives from 2011 to 2015, with versions featuring powerful engines and all-wheel drive. Both serve well for both professional and family use.
The Fiat Toro, classified as a midsize pickup, also appears among the recommended models. Produced from 2019, it stands out for its modern design, good drivability, and options for flex and diesel engines.
Compact SUVs Establish Themselves Through Versatility and Modern Design
Among the most sought-after sports utility vehicles in the range of up to R$ 100 thousand, the Honda HR-V emerges as one of the favorites. Its 2016 to 2019 versions offer good internal space, CVT transmission, balanced performance, and mechanical reliability, appealing to an urban audience that values comfort and economy.
Another important name is the Jeep Renegade, which combines adventurous style and good performance in both urban environments and off-road conditions. Models from 2016 onwards, with 1.8 Flex or 2.0 diesel engines, are among the most valued in the used car market.
Modern Hatchbacks and Turbo Sedans Balance Economy and Performance
The Chevrolet Onix, one of the best-selling cars in Brazil, is also present among the most recommended used cars. The versions with a 1.0 turbo engine, automatic transmission, and good safety features, produced from 2020 onwards, are seen as excellent choices for those seeking economy, performance, and modernity.
The Chevrolet Cruze, in the sedan configuration, offers a refined set with a 1.4 turbo engine, elegant design, and good embedded connectivity. Models from 2017 to 2019 are especially recommended.
