This paper performs a foreign trade analysis for the automotive sector in Brazil. Elasticities of substitution between imported vehicles and those produced and sold in Brazil, as well as between exported vehicles and those produced for the internal market, are calculated for the period of 1997 to 2015. This approach was first proposed by Armington (1969) and it was use Kume, Tourinho e Pedroso (2007). Using data of total import and export sum of vehicles, domestic, import and export prices, the Armington elasticities are computed according to the methodology of Tourinho, Kume e Pedroso (2007). / O setor automobil??stico no Brasil ?? respons??vel por 20% do produto interno bruto (PIB) da ind??stria de transforma????o e, por ser um setor estrat??gico, historicamente ?? amparado pelo governo brasileiro. O presente trabalho consiste numa an??lise do com??rcio exterior para o setor automobil??stico no Brasil. Para tanto, foram estimadas as elasticidades de substitui????o entre ve??culos importados e ve??culos produzidos e vendidos internamente, bem como entre ve??culos exportados e ve??culos produzidos e vendidos internamente, no per??odo de 1997 a 2015. A abordagem adotada foi a proposta por Armington (1969) e utilizada em Tourinho, Kume e Pedroso (2007). Utilizando uma base de dados composta por s??ries de volumes de exporta????es, importa????es e produ????o nacional de ve??culos, al??m de pre??os de ve??culos importados, exportados e pre??os dos ve??culos vendidos internamente, foi aplicada a metodologia sugerida por Tourinho, Kume e Pedroso (2007) para a estima????o das elasticidades de substitui????o de Armington.
