Some of the most popular cars in Brazil will cease production in 2025. Find out which models are being discontinued and the reasons behind this decision that impacts consumers and the automotive market.
The Brazilian automotive market will undergo many changes in 2025. While new models promise to shake up dealerships, some well-known vehicles will say goodbye to market Brazilian.
The reasons vary: low sales, new environmental regulations or strategic changes by automakers. This year, stricter emissions standards Proconve L8 have already had a significant impact, and the scenario is expected to continue this way. Next, see five cars that will say goodbye to Brazil in 2025.
Fiat 500e: The discreet electric car in the Brazilian market
The Fiat 500e, an electric model that initially attracted attention for its charming design, has faced difficulties in the domestic market. In 2024, only eight units were sold until November, reflecting its modest performance.

Although it is still listed on Fiat's website, the manufacturer had already promised a new shipment of cars for November of the same year, which did not materialize.
Currently, the fiat 500e It is offered in the Icon version of the 2022 line, with a suggested price of R$214.990. It has an electric motor with 118 hp of power and torque of 22,4 kgfm.
Even though it is a sustainable model, its discreet presence on the market suggests that the end of its production is near.
Kia Stonic: The hybrid SUV that lost steam
The Kia Stonic, a compact SUV with a mild hybrid design, is also among the models that should be discontinued in 2025. With low sales in 2024, the model registered only two units in October and ten in November, even with the arrival of the 2025 line.
The Stonic is equipped with a 1.0 turbo three-cylinder engine, which delivers 118 hp and 17,1 kgfm of torque, in addition to an auxiliary engine that acts as a generator, providing 120 hp in total.
Despite its competitive price of R$149.990, fierce competition from other hybrids such as the Fiat Pulse and Fastback should seal its fate.
suzuki jimny sierra
The Suzuki Jimny Sierra, one of the most iconic vehicles for off-road lovers, is also facing uncertainty.
The Proconve L8 emissions rules, which came into force in January 2024, put the model at risk, especially due to the engine's lack of suitability.
Equipped with a 1.5 naturally aspirated engine that generates 108 hp at 6.000 rpm and 14,1 kgfm at 4.000 rpm, the Jimny Sierra is sold from R$ 149.990. It offers a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, always with 4×4 traction and a reduced gear option.
Although popular in specific niches, its continuity depends on adaptations that Suzuki has not yet confirmed.
Renault Stepway
The Renault Stepway, an adventure version derived from the Sandero, is also on the list of models that are set to be discontinued. The car will lose its 1.6 engine option at the beginning of 2024, leaving only the 1.0 version.
Throughout the year, the Stepway had its best sales performance in October, with 516 units registered, but the numbers for the following months were below 500 units.
The model is powered by a 1.0-liter naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine that generates 82 hp and 10,5 kgfm of torque, coupled to a five-speed manual gearbox.
Available in the Zen version for R$86.990, the Stepway does not appear to have a promising future amid strong competition and changes in Renault's strategies.
Toyota Yaris
The Toyota Yaris, available in hatchback and sedan versions, has already begun its farewell. The Yaris Sedan has ceased production, and the hatchback's future remains uncertain. The arrival of the Yaris Cross compact SUV, scheduled for July 2025, should cement the end of the traditional model.
With a starting price of R$104.190, the Yaris hatch is equipped with a 1.5 engine with 110 hp of power and 14,3 kgfm of torque, associated with a CVT gearbox.
Despite being efficient, the engine has not been updated to meet Proconve L8 standards, something that will be done in the Yaris Cross, confirming the model's replacement.
The transition of the automotive market in 2025
The year 2025 marks a new era for the Brazilian automotive sector, with significant changes driven by regulations and technological advances.
The cars that are saying goodbye reflect a trend: more efficient engines that are more suited to environmental demands are shaping the future.
Whether due to low adoption or the need for innovation, the departure of these five models signals the beginning of a renewal cycle in the national market.
