BYD Dolphin Facelift: The leading electric vehicle gets an update to stay on top
The BYD Dolphin, Brazil's best-selling electric car, will receive its first facelift in 2025. The changes include redesigned bumpers, a new front grille inspired by the Seal model, new wheel designs and a two-tone paint option. Inside, the finish follows the brand's standard, with an updated rotating multimedia center and a slightly larger digital panel.
The electric motorization should be maintained: 95 horsepower for the entry-level versions and 204 horsepower for the Plus. The restyled Dolphin will arrive in the second half of the year, with estimated prices between R$150.000 and R$200.000.

The new global generation of the Honda WR-V promises to erase the simple image of the previous model. With an SUV look, modern lines and a size reminiscent of the HR-V, the new WR-V features 17-inch wheels, a roof rack and a full LED headlight assembly. The interior has evolved with a more sophisticated finish, updated multimedia, a digital dashboard and the Honda Sensing safety package.
The engine will be the well-known 1.5 naturally aspirated flex with 126 horsepower, combined with the CVT transmission. The launch is scheduled for the second half of the year, with prices starting at R$130.000, competing with the Chevrolet Tracker, Nissan Kicks and Fiat Fastback.
Hyundai Santa Fe: Returning in style with bold design and seven seats
After a hiatus since 2020, the Hyundai Santa Fe returns to Brazil fully renovated. Larger and more robust, the seven-seater SUV features a square design, with “H”-shaped headlights, inspired by models such as the Land Rover Defender. The interior offers sophisticated finishing, with two large 12,3-inch screens and a comprehensive list of equipment.
In Brazil, it is expected to be sold with a hybrid setup consisting of a 1.6 turbo gasoline engine and two electric motors, producing 235 horsepower. Scheduled to arrive this year, the new Santa Fe will compete in the luxury SUV segment, with an estimated price above R$300.000.

Inside, a larger multimedia center (about 11 inches) and digital panel are expected, in addition to improvements in the finish. The 1.0 turbo and 1.2 turbo engines should be maintained, with prices starting at around R$ 130.000.
The Jeep Avenger, the first 100% electric Jeep, will arrive in Brazil in mild hybrid versions. With a modern look, seven-slot grille and full LED headlights, the model will have a 1.0 turbo flex engine associated with a generator, delivering 130 combined horsepower and a CVT transmission. Made in Brazil, the Avenger will arrive this year with estimated prices starting at R$120.000, making it a more affordable entry-level option for the brand.
