In 2021, new automobile registrations in Brazil totaled 1,557,957, a decrease of 3.56 percent compared to the previous year. After a strong performance in December, the Hyundai HB20 has ascended to become the best-selling car in Brazil.
The Brazilian car market ended December 2021 with a considerable slowing of its decline. In Brazil, automobile sales were 156,146 units, down 19.77 percent from the same time last year. Regrettably, recent outcomes have weighted down the accumulating data.
New automobile registrations reached 1,557,957 units between January and December 2021, down 3.56 percent from the same period in 2020.
Due to global shortages of semiconductors and microchips at car production hubs, the Brazilian market is suffering from a lack of stock in dealerships. Furthermore, as if that weren’t enough, we must factor in the uncertainty created by the coronavirus epidemic.
What were the most popular models in Brazilian showrooms? In comparison to previous months, the ranking of the best-selling automobiles in Brazil in December has some fascinating news. The podium, on the other hand, has not changed. The Chevrolet Onix wins another another race and maintains its lead. The Chevrolet Onix Plus took second place, while the Volkswagen Gol took third place to round off the podium.
The Chevrolet Tracker has remained at the podium’s gates, indicating that, at least for the time being, Chevrolet has left all of its stock difficulties behind. The Renault Kwid (6th) has also gained a lot of ground, while models like the FIAT Argo (14th) and the Jeep Renegade (16th) have dropped a lot of ground.
Without a doubt, the FIAT Pulse (15th) and the Jeep Commander are two other vehicles whose performance should be noted (22nd). Both are first-time visitors to Brazil.
In 2021, the Hyundai HB20 will be the best-selling vehicle in Brazil.
Which model has stood out the most throughout the course of the year? In 2021, the Hyundai HB20 was the most popular automobile in Brazil. Due to its performance over the previous month, Hyundai’s compact utility vehicle has won by a razor-thin margin. It was enforced on the second-placed FIAT Argo. Third place went to the Jeep Renegade. Volkswagen, on the other hand, was the best-selling brand in Brazil in 2021, with FIAT and Chevrolet coming in second and third.
Although it appears like the year 2021 began yesterday, we are already in July. With the completion of the semester, Hyundai Motor Brasil made a wonderful imprint with the HB20 model, which took the lead in passenger car sales in the period from January to June of this year. During the era, more than 45,400 copies of the compact were sold in the nation. That doesn’t include light advertisements, where Fiat Strada leads.
With the brand’s success, it’s worth noting that this is the first time the South Korean brand has surpassed the market leader in Brazil.
In the first six months of 2021, the HB20 had a 38 percent increase in sales over the same time in 2020, with over 40 thousand cars sold. Although the data is still early, it indicates that small hatchbacks have an 18 percent market share.
Hyundai finished the first half of the year in fourth place in sales in Brazil, according to the number of plates issued by the company. Remember when Chevrolet, Fiat, Volkswagen, and Ford were dubbed the “big four” in the Brazilian market? This was in the past, since the blue oval brand ceased national manufacturing in January and has subsequently lost shelf space to competing brands, resulting in a significant decline in sales volume.
For the time being, Hyundai has taken the lead, having sold 95,400 vehicles in the first half of the year, a 50 percent increase over the same period last year.
“The market has shown indications of recovery from the pandemic’s effects.” The appeal of the HB20, as well as the effectiveness of the remote sales channels that we have been able to install in our dealer network since last year, are both contributing significantly to consumers selecting and purchasing the model of their choice without leaving their homes. According to Angel Martinez, commercial vice-president of Hyundai Motor Brasil, “the HB20 achieved an expressive market share, which assured it this exceptional top place in a whole semester.”
The Creta small SUV, which is also manufactured in Piracicaba (SP), is popular in retailers and has sold over 5,000 units since March. According to the brand, the utility finished eighth in the general sales list for the semester, with 33,500 units sold at the time.
The manufacturer also says that direct sales to corporations and rental firms account for just 8% of Crete’s negotiations, and that it is the most popular in the sector when only retail sales are examined, i.e. units negotiated directly by retailers with the ultimate public (individual).
Hyundai further says that, despite a global shortage of semiconductors affecting a large portion of the automotive sector, it was able to keep its local manufacturing running smoothly until June. As a result, the plant ensured that models from the HB20 family and Crete would be available in the quantities expected by its dealership network.
The second and third shifts on the assembly plant, however, have been halted since May 31. The corporation stated earlier today that the suspension, which was set to end on June 30th, will be extended.
