Then there was Bolt and Bolt EUV, the latter was limited to 200 units and all were sold. However, it still appears on the website and the price is R$ 279 thousand and with a bonus of R$ 50 thousand if you buy a used car. As for the hatchback, there are no units for sale, although it is still listed on the Chevrolet website, and both are no longer being produced.
Another model that is on the list of the end of popular cars discontinued, which had its line discontinued worldwide, gaining a special line for Brazil, called Collection. The brand's idea is that the model will return a few years later, but as an electric version.
Asian companies also anticipate the end of popular cars
According to the Self-support, the Hyundai Ioniq has stopped being imported to Brazil, although it is still listed on the automaker's website. In its place, they are preparing the arrival of the Ioniq5, an electric hatchback with a sportier proposal. Toyota Camry, launched in the United States last year, did not arrive in Brazil, as stock ran out before this import.

Renault, Nissan and Chery also highlight their discontinued popular cars
O Caoa Chery iCar It arrived in June 2022 and was never a sales success, even though it is one of the cheapest electric cars in Brazil. In 2024, the end of popular electric cars came, as there were no units imported to Brazil, but there are still some units for sale in the country. When they run out, there is no forecast of new ones arriving.
The Nissan Leaf was the first electric car sold to consumers in Brazil, and was one of the most popular cars discontinued, being offered on the automaker's website until February of this year. However, its price was above the standard in relation to some larger electric cars, such as the BYD Yuan Plus.
Finally, there is the Renault Stepway, which had its end announced by the brand's president in Brazil, Ricardo Gondo. However, it was only in July that it was finally discontinued by the automaker, leaving only the 1.0 version on the automotive market.
Honestly, whoever wrote this has no idea what a popular car is, if we can still call entry-level cars, read Kwid and Mobi, popular. Cruze, Bolt, Ioniq and Camry, seriously, the only one on the list that is a cheaper car is the Stepway, but even so it is not a popular car.
I was going to say the same thing. None of these cars are popular.
This report is clueless. Terribleโฆ.
You're absolutely right, I was going to say the same thing.
The subject is too weak, maybe if they gave it to the intern to do, it would come out betterโฆ
This guy must be in another world. Since when has the Cruze been a popular car?
The intern assistant did it.
By the way, whoever wrote the article doesn't know anything about cars. Like all the articles on this page, they're all a disgrace.
True, I completely agree, there's nothing popular about this list.
Indeed. Where are the popular ones???
I was looking for the popular car. I didn't find it either.
Taking a 1.6 car off the line and keeping the 1.0 naturally aspirated is the end of the line, it's hard to buy cars, they're getting more and more expensive, in a few years only people who have money will be able to buy them, electric cars are out of the question, there's no network structure for electric cars here, they don't even have tires, whoever buys them will certainly have a big loss, used electric cars are being sold for half the price, with so many new automakers on the market, don't be surprised if the automakers collapse, there's no demand for so many new cars.
Is Toyota's symbol with Hyundai's?
This would be half-assed
During my life I have only had 83-year-old Chevrolet cars, almost all of which are sold in Brazil. I do not regret it, but taking the Cruze off the production line without having a replacement is a bad joke. I am disappointed with Chevrolet.
You're right, Mauricio. Here, good things don't last long. But look, I have a 2018, which I won't sell for any price. I've made fun of some great cars, reaching 250 km, and a BMW, eating dust. And the fuel economy, zero to one hundred in 8,9 seconds? For the category, it's iconic and will always be. Just don't die of envy. GMC, if it continues like this, spreading its legs, could go bankrupt once again.
If you step on it, it easily reaches 380/km. And it does 0/100 in 2,3 seconds.
SUV (sport in name only) is all the rage and those who don't have a big family or are single/couples are running out of options. Either buy these **** Moby and similar things or you're on foot. Will occasional rentals and apps be the option?
I've never seen a car that costs almost 400 thousand reais be popular, I think this Valdemar doesn't know anything about what a popular car is.
After reading this article I don't know what category my car falls into, I thought it was a popular car, but if a popular car costs 400 thousand, mine must be a beggar's car lol
