The Saveiro is Volkswagen’s smallest pickup truck and it has been on sale in South America since its original introduction in 1982. Its name derives from a traditional Brazilian fishing boat and for the 2024 model year, the model comes with a new range-topping trim level. There are other improvements too, including a revised front end, more standard equipment, and a more refined engine.

Starting with the exterior, the Saveiro is now a touch more mature with a taller hood, a new grille, and a chrome strip that extends through the headlights. On the sides, there are more muscular wheel arches and additional body protection, while all versions ride on 15-inch wheels. At the back, there’s a new dark treatment for the taillights, as well as a new Saveiro lettering in the center of the hatch. Depending on the trim level, there are five colors available – Oliver Gray (exclusive to Trendline and Extreme) and Moonstone Gray (exclusive to Extreme) in addition to Ninja Black, Sirius Silver, and Crystal White.

When you hop into your Saveiro (Cross trim package), you'll be immediately greeted by a racy flat bottomed steering wheel. The ute also sports some nice black and brown leatherette seats in both the front and the back.

If you plan on having passengers in the back, however, you better make sure they are relatively short because there is not a lot of rear legroom. Other nice touches include silver trim scattered around the dashboard, interior door handles, vents, and pedals, as well as matching brown leatherette on the door panels.

When one looks a little harder, they will also see that VW went a little cheap on the plastics. This includes the dashboard, glove box, and center console trim. While the cheap materials are a bit of a setback, the infotainment system does score the Brazilian ute some brownie points.
