The Rise Of Chinese Automakers In Brazil Seems Inevitable, And BYD Symbolizes This Advance By Dominating The Electric Vehicle Market, Controlling 77% Of Segment Sales. However, The Brand’s Success Was Not Enough To Secure Absolute Leadership Among The Best-Selling Chinese Cars In The Country

Chinese automakers have firmly established their presence in the Brazilian market and show that the competition for space is becoming increasingly fierce. BYD, for example, reached the seventh overall position in licensing in the country in 2025, with 66,419 units and a significant 5.49% market share in automobiles.

On the other hand, Caoa Chery, with Sino-Brazilian capital, occupies 11th place, with 41,727 sales and 3.4% market share.

GWM appears just behind, in 13th position, with 23,016 units sold between January and August.

Despite BYD’s dominance in the electric segment—where it alone accounts for nearly 77% of sales and, along with other Chinese brands, totals 84.4%—the top of the ranking for the 25 best-selling Chinese cars in Brazil in 2025 belongs to another name.

The leader is the Caoa Chery Tiggo 7, with 21,445 units registered, surpassing the BYD Dolphin Mini, which appears in second place with 19,516 sales, and the GWM Haval H6, third place with 16,509 units.

5°) Caoa Chery Tiggo 8	10,823
6°) BYD Song Plus	9,839
7°) BYD Dolphin	8,893
8°) BYD King	8,301
9°) Caoa Chery Tiggo 5X	8,254
10°) BYD Yuan Pro	3,221
11°) GWM Haval H6 GT	2,607
12°) BYD Seal	1,973
13°) Jaecoo 7	1,946

Caoa Chery SUVs Stand Out

In addition to the Tiggo 7, Caoa Chery also registered other models among the top spots. The Tiggo 8 appears in fifth place, with 10,823 units sold, while the Tiggo 5X comes in ninth position, with 8,254 registrations.

Even the Arrizo 6 sedan made the list, taking the 16th place with 1,201 sales for the year.

These numbers show that even with a smaller overall market share, Caoa Chery managed to position its models strategically and gain direct space in the preference of Brazilian consumers.

BYD Dominates Electrified Cars, But Not The Top Of The Ranking

BYD continues to be the giant in the sector, occupying the top positions among hybrids and electric vehicles, and dominating the electrified market with a wide margin.

Among the 25 best-selling models, it appears with names like Song Pro, Song Plus, Dolphin, Dolphin Mini, King, Yuan Pro, and Seal. However, none of them managed to surpass the isolated performance of the Tiggo 7.

The result highlights an interesting movement in the market: although BYD holds the largest share of sales by brand, the leadership by model goes to Caoa Chery, which demonstrates growing strength and an increasingly solid presence in the country.

A BYD pratica descontos volumosos pra conquistar a liderança dos importados, mas até as revendas estão reclamando da perdas causadas por esses descontos.

BYD Dominates Electrified Cars, But Not The Top Of The Ranking

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.

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.

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.

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.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

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.

Pickle juice, molasses, and brewery waste are spread by trucks on frozen roads in Massachusetts to melt ice after a shortage of road salt, repurpose industrial waste, and reduce damage to rivers and lakes used as sources of drinking water.

China places in the sea an 8-story, 25,000-ton steel giant, the largest offshore wind station in the world, capable of transmitting 6 billion kWh per year and bringing clean energy to areas increasingly distant from the coast.

Braking only in front of the radar and accelerating right after may no longer be an option for drivers, because BR-101 in Espírito Santo tested a system that measures the average speed over an entire stretch and caught a car at 124 km/h on a 60 km/h road.

Building a 95-square-meter house in 2026 can start at around R$ 185,000 at the reference base and exceed R$ 330,000 in high standard, but the final cost depends on the land, finishing, fees, and the region, with the South of the country being among the most expensive in Brazil.

A small church built in 7 weeks in 1961 stands surrounded by skyscrapers in Balneário Camboriú, the city with the most expensive square meter in Brazil, accommodating only 60 people and defying decades of verticalization and luxury on the coast of Santa Catarina.
