Peugeot 2008: The New Generation That Conquers Hearts
The new generation of the Peugeot 2008 arrives in Brazil with an irresistible proposal. Available in two versions, one gasoline and the other electric, the model promises to be one of the main launches of August.

Cheaper than Fiat Pulse, Renault Kardian, and Volkswagen Tera: with a 2.0 turbo engine of 190 hp, 30.6 kgfm torque, automatic transmission, and Swedish safety package, this premium hatch delivers sports car performance at the price of a new compact: meet the Volvo V40 T4 Momentum 2017.
-
Cheaper than a new Mobi and a Polo: with a 1.8 engine of up to 139 hp, 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission, 300 liters of trunk space, and a complete equipment package, this hatch stands out for its performance and cost-effectiveness for those seeking sportiness without spending too much. Meet the Fiat Argo HGT 2018.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.
-
With the look of a compact SUV and the price of a rational used car: 1.5 flex engine with 115 hp, automatic transmission, 420-liter trunk, and multimedia make the Caoa Chery Tiggo 2 Look 1.5 AT 2020 an unconventional alternative.
The gasoline version is equipped with a 1.0 turbo engine with up to 130hp, already known for its efficiency. The electric version, named E-2008, is powered by a 158hp motor and a 54kWh battery, ensuring competitive autonomy.
The design of the Peugeot 2008 received a significant upgrade. The front grille with three-dimensional elements and the modern optical set give the crossover a sophisticated and dynamic appearance.
Manufactured at the El Palomar plant in Argentina, this launch strengthens Peugeot’s presence in the compact SUV segment, meeting the expectations of the most demanding consumers.
Chevrolet Blazer EV: The Future of Electric SUVs
Chevrolet enters the electric SUV market with the Blazer EV, the successor to the Bolt. This new model stands out for its futuristic design and bold lines. The striking front, with LED headlights connected to an illuminated grille, is one of the highlights of the Blazer EV’s visual.
Offered in the sporty RS version, the Blazer EV features a 345hp motor that promises agile and efficient driving. According to data from Inmetro, the model offers a range of up to 486 kilometers, positioning it as an attractive option for those seeking a high-performance electric vehicle. Chevrolet’s bet reinforces the trend of electric car launches that focus on sustainability.
Volkswagen Amarok Refreshed: Power and Modernity
Volkswagen has not fallen behind and brought the refreshed Amarok as one of the highlights of August. Produced in General Pacheco, Argentina, the midsize pickup received a more modern and imposing look, with some similarities to the Saveiro. The split headlights divided by a robust front grille, the LED bar below the hood, and the redesigned bumper give the model a renewed air.
Maintaining the 3.0 V6 turbodiesel engine with 258hp, the Amarok continues to be one of the most powerful pickups on the market. The launch promises to please both those seeking performance and those valuing a distinctive design. The official debut of the refreshed Amarok in Brazil will take place during the traditional Festa do Peão de Barretos, from August 15 to 25.
