The best Chinese cars to import into Brazil
This is the answer we give when a buyer asks the question in one line: which Chinese cars are actually worth importing into Brazil. Each pick below is quoted with its own landed-cost calculation for this market, from the duty band its engine falls into to the port where it clears.
The five we would put on the water
- 02
BYD
BYD Song Plus DM-i
A plug-in hybrid for buyers who pay for fuel at the pump: roughly 100 km of electric range on the commute and no range anxiety on the inter-city run.
5 · Front-wheel drive · 1,498 cc
- 03
BYD
BYD Atto 3
The EV that settled the price argument: a compact SUV with an LFP battery, dealer service in the Gulf, and a duty bill of 5% of CIF where electrics are favoured.
5 · Front-wheel drive · Electric (EV)
- 04
Geely
Geely Coolray
The small SUV that made Chinese cars normal in Algiers and Riyadh: 1.5 turbo, low duty band, and a cabin that still feels new at five years old.
5 · Front-wheel drive · 1,477 cc
- 05
HAVAL
HAVAL H6
A volume crossover with a long model run, so parts and diagnostics are already familiar across the Gulf and Africa.
5 · Front-wheel drive · 1,497 cc
Three of the five are current stock; the other two are sourced to order. Say which one and the year, and the FOB and CIF figures come back the same day.

What buyers ask before they choose
- does byd build cars in brazil
- Yes — BYD has been building in Bahia since 2025, which is why its Brazilian pricing moved. It also means a locally built BYD and an imported one are two different tax outcomes, so any comparison has to name which of the two is being bought.
- can you import used cars to brazil
- Used-car imports into Brazil are restricted: the regime favours new units and local production. Confirm the current rule for the specific HS code before ordering, because that rule — not the freight — decides whether the deal is possible at all.
- how much does it cost to import a car from brazil
- Importing into Brazil carries one of the heaviest tax stacks in the region: duty, IPI, ICMS and PIS/COFINS, each with its own base. Most of our Brazilian business runs the other way — sourcing in China and supplying a Brazilian distributor rather than clearing a unit in Santos.
- What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Brazil?
- Used-vehicle import is not a practical route. New-vehicle programmes are workable but require a local distribution partner and forward planning on the tax layers.
- Do Chinese left-hand-drive cars work in Brazil?
- Brazil drives on the right, so a left-hand-drive car is the correct vehicle type: the steering wheel is on the side the road requires. Every car we ship is left-hand drive. Used-vehicle import is not a practical route. New-vehicle programmes are workable but require a local distribution partner and forward planning on the tax layers.
