7 August 2026, 17:32 Brazil: New Car Sales Hit Highest Since 2014.
Brazil's new vehicle sales rose 2.6% month-over-month to 279.5 thousand units in July 2026, rebounding from a 0.8% decline in June, marking the highest level since December 2014. Compared with a year earlier, sales jumped 14.9%, marking the strongest monthly performance of 2026 despite the school holiday period. Electrified vehicles continued to gain market share, accounting for 23.5% of total registrations, up from less than 11% a year earlier. Year-to-date sales of electrified models surged 120.8%, supported by record registrations of 25.8 thousand fully electric vehicles in July. In the commercial segment, truck sales continued to recover, aided by financing incentives under the Move Brasil program, while bus sales remained weak, down 10.7% so far this year due to delays in the Caminhos da Escola program. In the first seven months of 2026, total vehicle sales exceeded 1.7 million units, up 17.9% from a year earlier.
