The survey, released this week, took place across Brazil and presents consolidated data on the best-selling vehicles. The information reveals how each model performed, why some grew so much, and how others fell sharply.
As a result, the November comparative helps the automotive market understand where national preference is shifting.
Strada Secures Overall Leadership And Maintains Hegemony In Brazil
The Fiat Strada returned to the top with 13,019 units, securing first place overall for the third consecutive month. Moreover, the pickup opened over 16,000 units of advantage in the year-to-date. Thus, everything indicates that the model will close 2025 as the absolute leader for the fifth consecutive year.
This consistency reinforces Fiat’s dominance among light commercial vehicles, while also putting pressure on rivals like Saveiro, Toro, and Hilux, which, on the other hand, recorded declines in November.
Tera Remains Strong Among Cars And Consolidates National Favoritism
Shortly after, the VW Tera appeared with 9,772 units, repeating the excellent performance of October. The model maintained first place among passenger cars and confirmed its rise in the automotive market.
Although it showed a slight drop, the Tera’s performance indicates that Brazilian consumers are increasingly seeking a balanced set of technology, space, and price. Therefore, this month’s comparative reinforces Volkswagen’s consistency in the competitive compact segment.
Onix Surprises And Almost Takes The Lead: Chevrolet Shines Again
The Big Surprise Of The November Ranking came from the Chevrolet Onix. With 9,524 units, the hatch grew by more than 28% and nearly surpassed the Tera. The recovery returns Chevrolet to a prominent position after months off the podium.
Additionally, Onix’s rise shook up the comparative and pressured rivals like Polo and HB20, which fluctuated during the period.
Polo Rises, T-Cross Shoots Up, And Kwid Has Its Best Month Of The Year
The VW Polo secured 9,381 units and climbed one position, reinforcing its good moment. Meanwhile, the VW T-Cross recorded an increase of nearly 27%, reclaiming the lead among compact SUVs.
On the other hand, the Renault Kwid surprised the automotive market by achieving growth of over 37%, marking its best performance in 2025.
SUV Segment Reveals Contrasts And Decisions Impacted By Production
The Jeep Compass, with 5,889 units, maintained a wide advantage in the medium SUV segment. Thus, the model remains strong in the competition against the Toyota Corolla Cross, which fell drastically to 1,465 units due to halted production.
Furthermore, the month marked the debut of the Honda WR-V in the top 50, surpassing City and City Hatch.
Overall Ranking Reinforces Movements In The Automotive Market
The November ranking closed with 227,174 Vehicles Registered, recording a decrease of 8.35% compared to October.
Even so, the result brought important signals regarding consumer behavior. Models that focused on competitive prices, good technology offerings, and availability in stock stood out, while others suffered from production adjustments.
Light Commercials Show Strong Decline
Among commercial vehicles, the Fiat Strada maintained dominance, but most models fell, including Saveiro (-25%) and Toro (-27%). Still, some exceptions caught attention, such as the Volkswagen Amarok, which recorded a strong jump after a period of low supply.
