The dominance of Fiat and Volkswagen models shows a preference for reliable utility and hatchback vehicles in an otherwise conservative market.
The rise of BYD, although modest, indicates that electrification is starting to gain traction — a turnaround could happen in the coming semesters.
With a growth rate of nearly 5%, the sector is regaining its footing, driven by popular models.

Strategies for Those Looking to Buy

If you are researching a new car, it’s worth considering:

Fiat Strada and VW Polo: absolute leaders — good resale value, a wide support network, and strong public acceptance.
T‑Cross, Creta, and Corolla Cross: great combination of space, value, and style, with strong market appeal.
BYD Song and Dolphin Mini: for the sustainable buyer who wants to be a step ahead in electrification.

With the economy showing slight acceleration and hybrids/electrics beginning to appear, the second half of 2025 promises even more excitement in the Brazilian automotive market.
