Three Legends On Wheels Defined Generations In Brazil — Honda CG, Volkswagen Gol And Beetle Marked The Automotive Industry And Continue To Be Symbols Of Passion, Performance And History On The Country’s Roads

The relationship of Brazilians with vehicles goes beyond the need for transportation — it is part of the national culture. Over the decades, models like the Honda CG, the Volkswagen Gol, and the legendary Beetle have become icons that have crossed generations and left deep marks on the country’s streets. Each one captivated the public in its own way, but the numbers reveal who really dominated this story.

Honda CG: The Queen Of National Production

Launched in 1976, the Honda CG inaugurated a new era in motorcycles produced in Brazil.

In December 2024, the bike reached the impressive milestone of 15 million units manufactured. This achievement positions it as the most produced motorized vehicle in Brazilian history.

Volkswagen Gol: The Best-Selling Car In Brazil

The Volkswagen Gol started production in 1980 and remained on assembly lines until 2022.

During this period, 8.5 million units were manufactured, of which about 7 million stayed within national territory.

For 27 consecutive years — from 1987 to 2014 — the Gol led the sales ranking in the country.

Therefore, it is recognized as the best-selling car in Brazilian history, a symbol of reliability and presence in Brazilian garages for generations.

Volkswagen Beetle: The Eternal Classic

Produced in Brazil from 1959 to 1996, with a brief return between 1993 and 1996, the Volkswagen Beetle had 3.35 million units assembled in the country.

Although the number is lower compared to competitors, the Beetle gained an unmatched sentimental value.

Its unmistakable design and simplicity granted the model a status that withstands the test of time.

Even decades after the end of production, it is still remembered as the car that taught many Brazilians how to drive.

Who Leads

According to official data, the Honda CG leads in total volume, the Gol reigns among cars, and the Beetle continues to be the most nostalgic icon on Brazilian roads.

Each, in its own way, represents an unforgettable chapter in the history of wheels in the country.

Who Leads

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

While Mazda succeeded with the rotary engine, China attempted to apply it in trucks, but the low torque, high consumption, and wear led to the failure of the TJ140 project.

At the same time that a traditional farmer plants lettuce in the field and waits up to 90 days for the harvest, a single Japanese factory produces 30,000 heads of lettuce per day, without soil, without pesticides, and not dependent on the season, with automated harvesting that surprises the world.

Petrobras made two discoveries in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin in less than 30 days: “excellent quality” oil in Marlim Sul in March and hydrocarbons at 2,984 meters in April.
