In this paper, we consider the following quasilinear Liénard equation with a singularity $$\begin{aligned} (\phi _p(x'(t)))'+f(x(t))x'(t)+g(t,x(t))=e(t), \end{aligned}$$(ϕp(x′(t)))′+f(x(t))x′(t)+g(t,x(t))=e(t),where g has a attractive singularity at the origin and satisfies superlinear condition at $$x=+\infty $$x=+∞. By using Manásevich–Mawhin continuous theorem, we prove that this equation has at least one positive T-periodic solution. We solve a difficulty to estimate it a priori bounds of a periodic solution for quasilinear Liénard equation in the case that superlinear condition. At last, example and numerical solution (phase portrait and time series portrait of the positive periodic solution of example) are given to show applications of the theorem.
