The Associacao Nacional dos Fabricantes de Veiculos Automores (ANFAVEA) announced that Brazilian vehicle sales (including trucks and buses) increased 6.0% YOY to 171,248 units in January 2025.
Vehicle sales in January consisted of 123,407 passenger cars; 36,647 light commercial vehicles; 9,410 trucks; and 1,784 buses.
Among passenger vehicle sales by brand in the month, FCA sold 28,762 units (23.3% share), VW sold 17,527 units (14.2%), GM sold 15,940 units (12.9%), Hyundai sold 9,597 units (7.8%) and Toyota sold 7,921 units (6.4%).

In ANFAVEA's sales report by fuel type, sales of flexible fuel vehicles were down 1.9% y/y to 115,573 units (72.2% share), diesel vehicles were up 21.4% to 19,140 units (12.0%), gasoline vehicles increased 32.3% to 8,846 units (5.5%), hybrid vehicles increased 61.5% to 6,265 units (3.9%), Plug-in hybrid vehicles increased 72.5% to 6,536 units (4.1%) and electric vehicles decreased 15.2% to 3,694 units (2.3%).
On January 17, Scotiabank published its forecast for full-year Brazilian sales of 2.55 million units in 2025 and 2.59 million units in 2026.
“The month of January is historically worse than December, as it is a period with unique characteristics that influence the performance of registrations, since, at this time, the family budget is affected by expenses such as IPVA, enrollments and school supplies, in addition to being a time when many consumers go on vacation and end up postponing the decision to buy vehicles. Still, we had a positive result from January 2024,” Arcelio Junior, president of Fenabrave, said.
