Inflation Calculation Based on IPCA Shows That The Cheapest Model Could Cost Over R$ 82 Thousand Today!

When the Hyundai HB20 was launched in 2012, it quickly became one of the most coveted cars in Brazil, charming drivers with its modern design, good performance and excellent cost-effectiveness. Since then, the model has established itself as one of the best-selling cars in the country, remaining relevant to this day.

But, with the impacts of inflation and changes in the vehicle market, what would be the updated price of the entry-level model? Let’s understand the impact of years of inflation and how it reflects on the value of the HB20 today!

The Price of HB20 in 2012: The Start of a Success Story

When the HB20 was launched in 2012, the entry-level model, the HB20 Comfort 1.0, came with a very attractive price. This version was designed for the Brazilian public, who sought a compact car but with the quality and performance of a more expensive vehicle. Check the value at the time:

Inflation Adjustment: The Updated Price of HB20

To understand the impact of inflation on the price of the HB20, we will use IPCA (Broad Consumer Price Index), which measures the official inflation of Brazil, from 2012 until today. Applying the accumulated IPCA, which exceeds 150% since the launch of the model, we arrive at an estimated value for the entry-level version Comfort 1.0 today:

Value adjusted for inflation: R$ 82,000 (approximately)

This means that if we consider only inflation, the HB20 would have almost doubled in price since its launch, increasing by more than 2.5 times the initial value. However, it is important to remember that this value is an estimate based only on official inflation and does not take into account other factors in the automotive market.

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.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

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.

The YouTuber Mark McCann bought a Bugatti Veyron for almost $1.2 million, but discovered that the supercar’s gearbox is so damaged that even Bugatti itself won’t accept to repair it, and the repair could cost a fortune.

How Romania became Hitler’s “gas station,” supplying about half of the oil used by Nazi Germany, and surprised the world by abandoning the Axis in 1944, just when the fuel shortage was beginning to suffocate the Third Reich.

The river rose 15 meters overnight and devastated a village in Vietnam in 2025, and Japan responded with dams that hold back mud and stones, training 15,000 people for evacuation, and a sewage station for 1 million residents.

Giant earthquake returns to haunt California after study points out San Andreas and San Jacinto faults at highest stress level in 1,000 years, with risk involving Los Angeles and other populated areas.

Thinking about buying a used HB20? See why the 2015 model is still a crowd favorite, with cheap parts, easy-to-fix mechanics, a strong engine, and quick sales.

Suzuki Fronx emerges as the “compact coupe SUV” that Brazil doesn’t have: priced around R$ 37,000 in a tax-free conversion, the model has a hybrid version, 1.0 turbo engine, bold design, and the price of a popular car in India.

Not every car with a battery is truly electric; some hybrids never run solely on electric power, and since 2025, ABVE stopped counting mild hybrids as electrified, and these differences change everything when buying.

Peugeot 408 Griffe 2015 combines a turbo engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, a 526-liter trunk larger than many compact SUVs, leather, multimedia, cruise control, and a sunroof, but it remains off the radar among fully equipped used cars.
