Overview

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.

In your opinion, which car represents the best cost-benefit today?

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.
