Popular car: learn how to calculate the value of discounts – 06/06/2023 – Market

The values ​​of popular car discounts will be defined through a scoring system for each vehicle model. Points are awarded according to social, environmental (energy efficiency) and industrial (local production index) criteria.

The higher the model score, the higher the discount range applied. Track 1 grants a reduction of R$ 8,000 for vehicles with a score greater than or equal to 90. In the last range, in which cars add up to less than 69 points, values ​​fall by R$ 2,000.

The announcement was made by Anfavea (National Association of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers) during a press conference held this Tuesday (6).

One of the criteria that award points to light vehicles is the model’s suggested price. Cheaper cars will get a bigger discount. Models below BRL 70 thousand add up to 25 points. An example is the Renault Kwid Zen, which cost BRL 68,990 and had its new price announced by the automaker. The model now costs R$ 58,990.

Models with a suggested retail price between R$70,000 and R$80,000 earn 20 points. For those priced between R$80,000 and R$90,000 the system calculates 18 points. Models that cost between R$ 90,000 and R$ 120,000 receive 15 points. An example is the T-Cross Sense, Volkswagen’s SUV, which went from R$ 116,550 to R$ 107,550.

Another scoring criterion is the energy source. Vehicles fueled by ethanol, electric or hybrid, which tend to be less aggressive to the environment, receive greater incentives and earn 25 points.

Flex models, powered by combustion of ethanol or gasoline, earn 20 points. An example is the Tiggo5, by Caoa Chery, which has a suggested price of R$ 119,990. The company’s new table will be released on Tuesday.

The criterion of points for energy consumption adds up to 25 points for vehicles with consumption below 1.41 MJ/Km (megajoule per kilometer), such as the Renault Kwid Zen. The model consumes 1.36 MJ/Km, according to Inmetro.

Cars that consume between 1.41 MJ/Km and 1.50 MJ/Km receive 20 points, and models between 1.51 MJ/Km and 1.60 MJ/Km, 18 points. The last range grants 15 points to vehicles with higher consumption, between 1.61 MJ/Km and 2.00 MJ/Km.

The last criterion discusses the production density, which refers to the percentage of vehicle parts that are produced in Brazil. For example, a car may have 70% of its parts made in Brazil by the automaker itself and its suppliers. This index varies from model to model.

The more national pieces, the greater the discount. Cars with a production density greater than or equal to 75% receive 25 points. If the rate is between 65% and 75%, 20 points, and between 60% and 65%, 15 points.

In the end, the sum of the points will define which discount range your intended model will be in. The scoreboard determines seven “bands” of takedowns.

Anfavea also announced the range of discounts for heavy vehicles, such as trucks and buses. In the case of trucks, the benefits will be between R$ 33.6 thousand and R$ 80.3 thousand. The buses will receive rebates between R$38,000 and R$99,400.
