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!

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.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Celso Portiolli flies over a beach in SC by helicopter, calls the destination the ‘diamond of Brazil’ and buys an apartment for up to R$ 2.4 million in a city of 27,000 inhabitants that moved R$ 4 billion in real estate.

BYD officially enters the semiconductor race by launching the Xuanji A3, a self-developed chip in China that reinforces the technological verticalization strategy and can reduce costs in millions of smart vehicles.

While SpaceX lands rockets as a routine, Spain wants to enter orbit with its own recoverable microlauncher; the Miura 5 emerged from a Spanish startup, gained a complex in Kourou, and aims to transform small satellites into a sovereign European market.

India tested the Agni-5 capable of carrying multiple independent warheads and, in the same round, conducted the first firing of a scramjet engine, joining a group that only the United States, Russia, and China were part of.

Canada is preparing a billion-dollar megaproject with 3.5 GW of wind energy, up to 530 turbines, green hydrogen, and ammonia for export, in a bid that could place the country at the center of the new global race for clean fuels.
