End Of An Era In The Brazilian Automotive Market: Renault Logan, Citroën C4 And Other Popular Cars Will Be Discontinued In 2024. Even The Iconic Sportscar Camaro Says Goodbye To The Country.
Constant renewal is essential for automakers that wish to remain competitive and profitable, especially in a landscape of rapid technological and market changes. However, this also means that some beloved models end up being discontinued. In 2024, the Brazilian automotive market will say goodbye to popular vehicles such as the Renault Logan and the Citroën C4, in addition to the iconic sportscar Camaro, which will also be retired. This decision, which directly impacts fans of these models, reflects the new strategies of automakers in pursuit of innovation and adaptation to the industry’s new demands.
Renault Logan, Citroën C4 And Other Popular Cars Will Leave Brazil
The exit from Brazil is what happened with the Volkswagen Gol, the best-selling car in the history of the country, which was taken out of production on December 23, 2022, because it was not compatible with the new Brazilian pollution emission and safety regulations, even though it was still very successful.
This year, it is likely that more well-known models will leave the “shelves of dealerships,” either for not meeting legal requirements or due to market issues.

Hyundai sells an executive minivan that looks like a VIP room on wheels: Custin carries 7 people, uses a 1.5 turbo engine with 168 hp, 8-speed automatic transmission, and costs around R$ 157,000 in direct conversion in Vietnam.
-
The 7-seater Toyota that seems too cheap to exist in Brazil: Rush has a 1.5 engine, manual or automatic option, and a converted price close to R$ 81,000, while here families need to aim for much more expensive SUVs.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Pajero Dakar diesel shows 314,000 km and still draws attention for its reputation for durability; the seven-seater 4×4 SUV handles trails, but signs of severe use may conceal losses for used car buyers.

Peugeot publicly acknowledged the errors of the PureTech engine, which caused serious failures in hundreds of thousands of cars, and introduced the new Turbo 100 as a definitive solution, a 1.2 turbo tested for over 3 million kilometers that replaces the faulty belt with a more durable chain.
With the arrival of the Kardian in the country, the duo Renault Logan and Stepway are expected to say goodbye. Initially, the automaker plans to reduce production of the models; however, there will come a point when popular cars will leave Brazil. The compact sedan Renault Logan is available in the Life and Zen versions and costs about R$ 97 thousand. The Stepway SUV is sold only in the Zen configuration, which costs R$ 86,990.
Sports Cars Will Also Leave The Brazilian Automotive Market
Besides the Renault Logan, Citroën C4, and Stepway, other popular cars will leave Brazil, such as the Bolt and Bolt EUV, since the American factory that produced the electric hatchback ceased its assembly at the beginning of this year, which means there are only the units that had already been produced. The same happened with the SUV Bolt EUV, which has also been discontinued.
Not only popular cars will leave Brazil, and another sorrowful farewell was that of the Chevrolet Camaro, which certainly leaves fans of sports cars nostalgic. Its production ended at the beginning of the year, and the remaining units in the market start at R$ 510 thousand.
Returning to popular cars, the French automaker Citroën is expected to bid farewell to the C4 Cactus, motivated by the debut of the seven-seat SUV Citroën C3 Aircross and its coupe brother, the C3 X or Fastlounge. The Stellantis has not confirmed the end of production, but it is already almost impossible to find units of the model, whose price starts at R$ 111,990.
New Arrivals In The Brazilian Automotive Market
The Renault Logan, Citroën C4, and other popular cars will leave Brazil, but this is part of the market cycle, and now new models will arrive to surprise the Brazilian public even more. Automakers are making every effort to launch vehicles that combine modern design, cutting-edge technology, and greater efficiency. This year, the variety of options ranges from compact and economical cars to impressive SUVs.
The growing demand for more technological and sustainable vehicles is defining the 2024 launches. These global trends in the automotive sector are being adapted to meet various profiles of Brazilian consumers. Among the models that will arrive are:
- Chevrolet Montana 2024: The new generation of the Montana brings more interior space, advanced technology, and energy efficiency.
- Fiat Pulse Abarth: An SUV that combines aggressive performance with high connectivity and comfort.
- Volkswagen ID.4: This electric SUV is one of the most anticipated launches, promising to transform the market with its sustainability and innovation.
A substituição de carros populares por veículos mais modernos – e caros faz parte de um complô mundial contra s classe média.
