Brazil's new vehicle sales rose 2.6% month-on-month in July 2026, reaching 279.5 thousand units and reversing a 0.8% decline in June. This was the highest monthly volume since December 2014. On a year-on-year basis, sales jumped 14.9%, the strongest monthly performance of 2026 despite the impact of the school holiday period.

Electrified vehicles continued to expand their presence in the market, 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 alone.

In the commercial segment, truck sales continued to recover, supported by financing incentives under the Move Brasil program. Bus sales, however, remained weak, down 10.7% so far this year due to delays in the Caminhos da Escola program.

Over the first seven months of 2026, total vehicle sales surpassed 1.7 million units, an increase of 17.9% compared with the same period a year earlier.
