A survey carried out by Karvi, a used car marketplace, points out that almost 60% of the vehicles sold by the company between February and June are automatic.
The estimate is that the share of automatics in the Brazilian car market will be 70% from 2028, according to the consultancy S&P Global.
In 2012, less than 15% of vehicles sold in Brazil had some type of exchange.
According to MatÃas Fernández Barrios, co-founder and CEO of Karvi, consumers are prioritizing comfort, especially in urban spaces.
