Advantage and disadvantage of the three cheapest cars sold in Brazil

When comparing the three cheapest cars sold in Brazil, it is clear that each model has its advantages and disadvantages. While the Mobi offers a more affordable price and cheap maintenance, the Kwid stands out with more interior space. On the other hand, the Citroën C3 provides greater power and space, although its finish leaves something to be desired.

When choosing the best car for your daily life, it is important to consider your individual needs in terms of space, performance, fuel consumption, comfort and price.

The big problem is the astronomical tax, a cheap car doesn't mean much.

I have a Mobi Trekking 2025 and I am simply surprised at how enjoyable it is to drive. It doesn't even feel like I'm in such a small, smooth, quiet and economical car. As for the price, unfortunately it is the reality in Brazil, but it is incomparable to the Kwid or any other in the category that has similar values.

Any car can do 700km on a tank. It all depends on the size of the tank.
