According to the New Legislation, Two Models of the Toyota Corolla Hybrid Received Total Exemption from IPVA in the State of São Paulo This Year 2025

The Toyota Corolla Altis Hybrid and the Corolla Cross Hybrid are the only hybrid vehicles that received total exemption from IPVA in 2025, according to the new legislation of the State of São Paulo. This measure is part of a government strategy to encourage local production and the use of sustainable technologies, according to the website Garagem 360.

Understand the Law That Benefited the Toyota Corolla Hybrid

The IPVA exemption for flex hybrid models was established by State Law No. 18,065, dated December 18, 2024. According to Article 5 of this law, vehicles eligible for exemption must have the following characteristics:

Hybrid Flex Technology: Combination of flex combustion engine (ethanol and gasoline or exclusively ethanol) with electric motor.
Price: Vehicle value up to R$ 250,000.00.
Power: Minimum of 40 kW (54 hp) of electric power.
Electrical System: Powered by a minimum voltage system of 150 V, with energy recovery for the batteries.

The Toyota models of Corolla, manufactured in Sorocaba, interior of São Paulo, meet all these requirements, ensuring their exemption.

Other Manufacturers Were Left Out

Models such as the Fiat Pulse and the Fastback Bio Hybrid, despite also being flex hybrids, did not qualify for the exemption. This is due to lower technical specifications, such as less powerful electric motors and lower voltage electrical systems.

In addition to Fiat, light hybrid vehicles from other brands such as Kia, Caoa Chery and others were also excluded from the exemption, not meeting the minimum requirements established by the new law.

Government Justification for IPVA Exemption

The governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas, explained that the law was designed to strengthen the local automotive industry. According to him, the measure aims to attract and prioritize the production of hybrid vehicles in the state of São Paulo, with brands such as GM, GWM, Toyota, and Volkswagen already confirming plans for local production.

Freitas emphasized that the benefit will be allocated only to vehicles produced in the state, excluding those manufactured in other regions or abroad. This decision explicitly excludes vehicles like those from BYD, which have production units in Bahia.

Eu amei a matéria, isso deixa os brasileiros como eu, cheios de alegria e esperança que ainda vamos nos tornar uma boa nação. Vejo os carros Híbridos como uma Solução Sustentável e mais viável no nosso país, devido os alagamentos que temos, precisamos nessa situação do motor a combustão e fora dessa situação do conforto e eficiência que os motores elétricos fornecem.😁

Government Justification for IPVA Exemption

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

Two African countries will inaugurate in 4 days an 825-meter bridge suspended 90 meters high over a reservoir — it is the largest of three bridges of a megaproject that will supply millions of people.

A company that drilled for oil has drilled 4.8 kilometers of rock in Utah and found a never-ending heat of 290 degrees — now it is building the world’s first next-generation commercial geothermal power plant, with 100 MW connected to the grid in June 2026.

Trump breaks a 20-year environmental barrier and puts copper and nickel mining back at the doorstep of the Boundary Waters, one of the most sensitive natural areas in the U.S., reigniting the clash between critical minerals, clean water, and the risk of irreversible damage in northern Minnesota.

Historic farm 3 hours from SP hosted Dom Pedro on the Independence route, preserves JK’s room, and continues to receive visitors since the coffee era.

Paraná recorded one of the coldest days of the year, with 3.9°C and frost in several cities.

Petrobrás expands presence in the Campos Basin by purchasing 100% of the strategic area in the Argonauta field and strengthens its control over pre-salt reserves.

How much does a data engineer earn in 2026? Salaries exceed R$ 9,000 per month in Brazil, but specialists can reach close to R$ 24,000 with experience in cloud, artificial intelligence, big data, and bonuses from technology companies.

BMW 320i 2014 costs like a used popular car, but maintenance follows luxury standards: see how much the expenses are for IPVA, insurance, and the ideal income to maintain it.

New 2027 Honda Pop 110i arrives for R$10,588 without a kick-starter, with a handlebar-mounted brake, alloy wheels, and tubeless tires.

A dent that seemed simple turned into a R$ 68,000 bill after damage to a pickup truck required almost complete disassembly, removal of a panel integrated into the roof, and a complete paint job.

Financing for a Kwid scares those who want to drive for Uber: a R$ 47,000 car can end up costing more than R$ 81,000 after 5 years of paying monthly installments.

Starting from R$ 32,000: 5 used automatic cars offer up to 155 hp, CVT and 6-speed transmissions, fuel economy of up to 11 km/l, a 525-liter trunk, and fully-equipped versions with 6 airbags and 4×4.
