Thus, while trucks are the main Argentine product in number of models and in production volume, and the largest variety of products is the strength of Brazil.
The best -selling Brazilian car so far from 2025 is the Toyota Yaristhe most economical car in the brand’s portfolio. In four months 9,223 units were patented representing 4.5% of the total cars sold. The segment reference is the Peugeot 208the most patented among the B-Hatch, which registered 13,298 units and has 6.5% of the market.
