Firstly, many people decide to buy a car through the list of best-selling cars in 2022, so in this article we list them all, according to their categories. The difference between the best sellers and the least sold is basically in popular taste or the most affordable price.
Furthermore, it is important to highlight that all data listed and commented in this article follows the official numbers released by the National Federation of Motor Vehicle Distribution (Fenabrave). Let's go?

1. Compact sedans
Therefore, for those who like economy and comfort, sedans are the best option, without a doubt. We start the list of best-selling cars in 2022 with one of the most competitive categories, with several options.
The main characteristics of this category are basically modern cars, with high comfort and unique and technologically interesting equipment.

In this sense, we can say that the fight was good between two main cars: Fiat Cronos and Chevrolet Onix Plus. In June, sales of the Fiat Cronos were significantly higher, leaving the Chevrolet Onix Plus behind. However, in other months the Chevrolet Onix Plus proved to be quite strong, taking first place among the 50 best-selling cars in 2022.
Furthermore, we can also say that second place went to the Fiat Cronos, with 30.507 units, chasing first position, that is, it failed to reach it despite the sales boom in June. The difference between the fight between the two cars was around 30 thousand vehicles.
Therefore, the fight between the two now promises to be in 2023, with great options arriving and others renewing themselves on the market, such as the Nissan Versa, Volkswagen Virtus, and the Hyundai HB20S. Are you looking forward to discovering the next best-selling cars in 2022?
2. Compact hatches
Furthermore, to continue, we have other good options and other interesting fights, as in the case of Compact Hatches, where the Chevrolet Onix started the year in a fight with its main competitor, the Hyundai HB20.
The category is marked as the main one among Brazilians, with the highest sales numbers, where the Hyundai HB20 secured the first place in sales in the category.
Therefore, this increase in sales is directly linked to the condition of these cars, since they are cheaper, more economical and easier to obtain.
Furthermore, it is possible to say that the “economic” aspect comes into the question of gasoline, which is more affordable, as well as the question of parts and maintenance.
Are there other good cars fighting in this category?
However, despite the Chevrolet Onix and Hyundai HB20 being at the forefront of sales as one of the best-selling cars in 2022, we can say that there are other good cars that sell a lot in this category.
This is especially the case with the Volkswagen Gol and Fiat Argo, highly popular among Brazilians and attracting attention due to the absurd amount of sales in the compact hatchback category. However, they failed to reach the TOP2 and TOP1 of the category as the best-selling cars in 2022.
3. Subcompacts
Thirdly, here we have a very fierce category between very popular names, where the first is the Fiat Mobi and the second, the Renault Kwid. These two cars competed a lot for sales in 2022, but there was no other way, the Fiat Mobi took the TOP1 in the category.
Thus, basically, the difference between the two cars in terms of sales numbers was around 15 thousand units sold, a reasonably tight number. This category is one where the most cars are sold, due to the cost-benefit of these two cars, mainly because they are quite economical.
4. Medium Hats
Therefore, in a category with reduced options, especially because some cars significantly reduced the amount of manufacturing, the Chevrolet Cruze Sport6 was left to take the title. In this category, its main competitor was the Volkswagen Golf, but it was discontinued, leaving a high growth margin for the Cruze Sport6.
5. Midsize sedans
If you like to see significant numbers of differences in sales between best-selling cars in 2022, this is the category, followed by the previous one, that stands out the most. The category winner could be none other than the Toyota Corolla, with more than 37.783 units sold in 2022.
The medium sedan category was already led for years by the Corolla, leaving several competitors behind in sales numbers. Among them, we can highlight the Volkswagen Jetta, Caoa Chery Arrizo 6 and the Chevrolet Cruze. The Cruze is the only one that is closer to the Toyota Corolla, with 9.759 registered units.
6. Minivan
Initially, when we previously talked about disparity in sales numbers, we left the main one here, as a bonus. The Chevrolet Spin sold absolutely 97,78% of the units in the category.
This high number of sales, which reaches close to 15.753 units registered in 2022, is basically due to the reduction in manufacturing by competitors.
In this sense, another reason is that this category is very far from the popular tastes of Brazilians, moving the category's market downwards. Kia Carnival, the BYD D1 and Chrysler Pacifica are the other competitors in the sector, with basically 3,22% of the sector's representation.
7. SUVs
Furthermore, this category is one of the most interesting among best-selling cars in 2022, being very popular with Brazilians, despite the high market price and high fuel costs. Let's see the main variations of the category below:
7.1 – Medium SUV
Firstly, it's not news to anyone that the Jeep Compass continues to lead this category, just as it has in recent years. However, we can say that ownership is threatened by new competing models on the market.
Furthermore, the main competitors are the Toyota Corolla Cross and the Volkswagen Taos, where they have a number of registrations of 38.683 and 11.233 units, respectively. In this case, we can say that the Jeep Compass continues to lead, despite the distance of 19.987 units.
7.2 – Large SUV
In the second option, we have a good fight between two incredible cars, including the Jeep Commander, leader of the category and the Toyota SW4 coming in second place. The difference is tight between the two, but the highlight comes from this new product from Jeep, placing the SW4 in second place.
Furthermore, we can say that life was very good and pleasant for Toyota before the Commmander, where it currently has 19.798 registered units, compared to 11.565 for the SW4. For those who like cars bigger than the Compass, this option stands out as it has really pleased Brazilians.
8. Pickup
Finally, we come to the last broad category among the best-selling cars in 2022, bringing to light the Fiat Strada, which has become a reference in sales in the Brazilian car market.
Furthermore, this is mainly due to Montana pausing its production. In this way, the numbers skyrocketed more and more, gaining strength and the taste of Brazilians who like pickup trucks.
However, one brand managed to survive and compete considerably in 2022 with the Fiat Strada, which is why we highlight Volkswagen Saveiro. Despite the growth in sales of this model, it still remains behind, with only 19.677 units registered.
The contrast becomes more evident when we see the registration numbers for the Fiat Strada, which reached 96.243 registered units in 2022. This scenario promises to change now in 2023, with new models coming to the market and great news.
