Looking down the list, the mixture of colours shows the diversity of the market. Not having a local brand to support adds to that.
Europe is strong but so too is the USA and increasingly China. Japan is not far off the pace but apart from two models, Korea is not represented.
The leading model is the Fiat Strada, which is a small leisure vehicle/pick uptruck. The VW Polo and Chevrolet Onix are tussling it out for second the spot.
Brazil has a large car assembly industry. The country recently started phasing in increased tariffs on imported electric and hybrid cars. Renenue raised will be used to encourage local manufacturing of more sustainable vehicles.
It will also raise tariffs on cars assembled from kits which designed to encourage more manufacturing locally, adding value to the assembly.
