The National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (Inmetro) updated the list of vehicles sold in Brazil in 2023 with the best energy performance, which can help anyone who wants to buy a new car but is concerned about fuel consumption.
The Brazilian Vehicle Labeling Program (PBEV), coordinated by the agency, released the 2023 table, with new information on energy efficiency, consumption, autonomy and gas emissions for all passenger cars, pickups and SUVs for sale in the country.
In total, the PBEV, which is in its 15th edition, covers 747 models and versions, 68 Electric models (VE) and 48 Plug-in (VEHP).
One of the novelties is autonomy in electric mode, additional information that is now shown in Table 2023 in kilometers of range, for electric models and plug-ins, facilitating consumer understanding.
Hércules Souza, head of the Verification and Technical Studies Division (Divet), shows that, compared to the previous year’s table, there was an improvement of 5% in the average energy consumption in cars in the large SUV category.
This group dropped from 1.95 MJ/km to 1.85 MJ/km, and by approximately 2% in compact SUVs, recording a drop from 1.84 MJ/km to 1.80 MJ/km. “The improvement is mainly due to the entry of new electric and hybrid models into the program”, he explains.
In this year’s table, three models have the best energy consumption, all electric in the subcompact category: Renault E-KWID, Fiat 500E and the Caoa Cherry Icar EQ1.
Among the medium and large electric vehicles, the highlights were the Chevrolet Bolt, Peugeot E-2008 GT and BYD D1/D2 180EV models.
In the SUV categories, the debutants BYD Yuan Plus 310 EV and Donfeng Seres, both electric, stand out.

energy efficiency
According to Milad Kalume Neto, business development director at JATO Dynamics, today it is easier for the consumer to know how the car is performing. “Until 2013, with the Incentive Program for Technological Innovation and Densification of the Motor Vehicle Production Chain (Inovar-Auto), automakers were not obliged to disclose the consumption of their vehicles and only did so as a form of advertising”, he explains. he.
The public media at the time disseminated information about fuel consumption, according to Milad. “As the tests were carried out under different conditions, the automakers never admitted the results, no matter how close they were to reality, claiming that the route taken, traffic conditions, temperature, driver driving, among many other variables, did not were constant and influence the result”.
In 2017, the adhesion of national manufacturers to the PBEV became mandatory. Before, it was optional.
“Since then, the consequence of labeling has been transparency for the final consumer. The car with the ‘A’ label was intended for a vehicle that had greater energy efficiency and, an ‘E’ label, was for a vehicle with lower fuel performance”, highlights Milad.
