The Volkswagen Polo took the lead among the cars most sold in Brazil in the partials of April 2026, with 7,025 units registered by the 28th of the month. The data comes from the survey by Mundo do Automóvel para PCD and shows a turnaround compared to the previous day: the Fiat Argo, which was still in first place on April 27, fell to the second position with 6,889 units.

Volkswagen Polo and Fiat Argo fight for the top; Creta leads among SUVs

The difference between the first and second places among the cars was only 136 units, revealing a highly competitive market at the top. The Chevrolet Onix was in third place with 6,536 registrations, followed by the Hyundai Creta, which maintained its position as the best-selling SUV of the period with 6,481 units.

Another point of attention in the ranking is in the fifth position: the Volkswagen T-Cross accumulated 6,345 units and may surpass the Creta before the definitive closing of April if the registration pace is maintained.

The rise of electric cars also caught attention. The BYD Dolphin Mini appeared in eighth place with 5,675 units, consolidating the presence of electric vehicles among the most sought-after models by Brazilians. The BYD Song closed the top 10 with 5,171 registrations.

Volkswagen Polo 2026: prices, versions, and what changes between them

The April-leading Polo is sold in three versions in Brazil in 2026, with very distinct prices and equipment. The entry version, the Track, is on promotion until April 30, 2026: it costs R$ 86,375 (from R$ 95,490) with a 0% rate and zero IPI for customers who trade in their used car. The Sense and Highline versions cost R$ 112,990 and R$ 138,690, respectively.

In terms of dimensions, the Polo measures 4.07 meters in length, 1.75 m in width, and 1.47 m in height, with a wheelbase of 2.57 m and a trunk of 300 liters.

Naturally aspirated engine in the entry-level version, turbo in the others

The Track version uses a 1.0-liter three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine with a five-speed manual transmission. With gasoline, it delivers 77 hp of power and 9.6 kgfm of torque; with ethanol, it rises to 84 hp and 10.3 kgfm. Urban consumption reaches 13.9 km/l (gasoline) and 9.6 km/l (ethanol), according to Inmetro data.

The Sense and Highline versions share the same 1.0-liter three-cylinder block, but with turbo and direct fuel injection — and a six-speed automatic transmission. Power increases to 109 hp with gasoline and 116 hp with ethanol, with 16.8 kgfm of torque regardless of fuel. On the highway, consumption reaches 15.7 km/l with gasoline and 10.9 km/l with ethanol.

Among the equipment, the versions differ as follows:

The three configurations of the 2026 Polo progressively evolve in features. The entry-level model, the Track, already comes with the basics well-resolved: air conditioning, electric power steering, power windows and locks on the front doors, radio, side airbags, and height-adjustable driver’s seat. For those who wish, the VW Play multimedia system can be added as an option.

A step above, the Sense inherits all of this and adds the turbo engine with automatic transmission, LED front lighting, keyless access, rear sensor, cruise control, paddle shifters on the steering wheel, and an 8-inch digital instrument panel. The VW Play multimedia system can also be added to this version.

The Highline, the top-of-the-line model, further expands the package: instrument screen and multimedia center grow to 10.25 inches, the air conditioning becomes digital and automatic, and features such as induction cell phone charging, rearview camera, 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlight activation, rain sensor, and automatic engine shutdown system at stops — the so-called start-stop — are introduced.
