Brazil’s new-vehicle sales rebounded 2.3% month over month to 281,400 units in September after falling 1.6% in August, marking the highest monthly volume since December 2014. The increase was driven by strong growth in passenger-car and light-commercial-vehicle sales. Passenger-car sales rose 1.6% to 216,600 units, while light-commercial-vehicle sales grew 4.4% to 52,200 units. Electrified vehicles also supported the market, accounting for 20.1% of new light-vehicle registrations in Brazil in 2026. Heavy-vehicle sales also increased, with truck sales up 2.2% to 10,200 units and bus sales jumping 17.1% to 2,400 units. Anfavea revised up its 2026 forecasts for vehicle sales and production, now expecting the domestic market to reach 3.1 million registered vehicles this year.
