It claims this would boost EV sales, cement jobs and give the continent\u2019s car makers a weapon against the wave of new state-subsidised Chinese-built EVs that are undercutting legacy brands.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renault Group boss Fran\u00e7ois Provost told journalists on Thursday that, as part of the new category\u2019s framework, he wants law makers to pause the need to integrate new safety measures for between 10 and 15 years. \u201cIf so,\u201d he said, \u201cwe can dedicate our engineers to improve [current] cars and decrease the cost, [meaning a] lower price for the customer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added: \u201cI don&#8217;t ask to remove regulation. No, I just ask to have 10 or 15 years without new regulation. Because today, what is planned by Europe is 107 new regulations on automotive by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More generally, the current legislatory approach adds new safety regulations annually, meaning new cars and those already on sale have to be fitted with a host of new technology, which mainly includes ADAS and safety systems, just to stay compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Provost said this is currently one of the single biggest costs to car makers, not just because the tech is expensive but also&nbsp;because \u201cwe have to apply the regulation every year\u201d to each car, which means \u201cmy engineers will have to change the job [they did the year before] in order to apply the new regulation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked which type of car should be eligible for the new class, he said the Renault Group\u2019s ideal criteria would include cars that are less than 4.2m in length, produce less than 15 tonnes of CO2 over their lifetime&nbsp;and are built using \u201clocal content\u201d, including&nbsp;as batteries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the specifics of the category are still under wraps, Provost\u2019s detail of the criteria suggests this could be close to what the EU will bring into force next month because&nbsp;the EU has been in dialogue with Europe\u2019s car makers in drafting the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If so, this would mean the 4, 5 and Twingo will be eligible&nbsp;and \u201cthe objective is to decrease the price\u201d of those cars, said Provost, not create new cars for it. This is because, under these criteria, it already targets \u201cthe core of the European market\u201d within the A- and B-segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Latest Reviews<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3\" height=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-55.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5075\" title=\"Toyota Hilix electric review 01\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/toyota\/hilux-electric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/toyota\/hilux-electric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toyota Hilux Electric<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/toyota\/hilux-electric\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toyota Hilux Electric<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3\" height=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-54.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5074\" title=\"Hyundai Ioniq 6 N review 2025 01\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/hyundai\/ioniq-6-n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/hyundai\/ioniq-6-n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyundai Ioniq 6 N<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/hyundai\/ioniq-6-n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyundai Ioniq 6 N<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3\" height=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-56.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5076\" title=\" P6A1936 1600x1067 e125f67b 0fda 44af 8430 19a0966d861d\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/mitsubishi\/lancer-evolution-vi-1999-2002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/mitsubishi\/lancer-evolution-vi-1999-2002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Used Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 1999-2001 review<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/mitsubishi\/lancer-evolution-vi-1999-2002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Used Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 1999-2001 review<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3\" height=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-53.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5072\" title=\"MG IM6 review 2025 0001\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/mg-motor\/im-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/mg-motor\/im-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MG IM6<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/mg-motor\/im-6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MG IM6<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3\" height=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/image-52.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5073\" title=\"Honda Super N review 2025 0001\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/honda\/super-n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/honda\/super-n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Honda Super-N<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\/honda\/super-n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Honda Super-N<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocar.co.uk\/car-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View all car reviews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back to top<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked how much of a price reduction Renault would look to implement, given the small margins these models already command, Provost said&nbsp; the target for Ampere \u2013 Renault\u2019s efficiency arm \u2013 was to reduce production costs by 40%. With the new Twingo, it achieved 25%, \u201cso I think we have an additional 10% to 15% which we can borrow\u201d to bring the price down further, while still turning a profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Renault itself wouldn\u2019t create a new model for the segment, sibling brand Dacia could feasibly bring to market a production version of the Hipster \u2013 the radical city car concept created to show what a sub-\u00a315,000 EV could offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite its aim being to show a car that can \u201cenable as many people as possible to access essential mobility\u201d, Provost wouldn\u2019t be drawn into when or if the car would one day make production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Provost also dismissed the notion that the E-Car segment should be altered to include combustion-powered cars. He said: \u201cThis should be electric. Why? Because decarbonisation is a priority given by Europe and Renault will never go backwards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added: \u201cElectric cars are good for customers. People who decide to move to EV will not go backwards. EV is good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking more generally about the importance of the new E-Car segment, Provost said: \u201cToday, we have decarbonisation regulation, and due to this [need by car makers to sell more EVs], prices are too high for customers. People cannot buy cars because their household income is not so favourable. So people are not happy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo you have an ageing of the parc, [average age] 12.5 years. As a consequence, no decarbonisation, no better safety in the cars, because people cannot buy [new] cars. And as a consequence of all of this, you destroy the automotive industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo it&#8217;s why you change your playbook to start your logic from \u2018what is the price we need to reach in order for European people to buy new cars again?\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renault could cut prices of 4, 5, Twingo if EU&#8217;s E-Car class approved Decision on new affordable car category is set to be made next month News by&nbsp;Will Rimell 4 mins read 6 November 2025 Share Renault&nbsp;will look to cut the prices of the&nbsp;4,&nbsp;5&nbsp;and new&nbsp;Twingo&nbsp;by up to 15%, rather than create new models, if the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5071,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5070"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5070\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5078,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5070\/revisions\/5078"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gottanlent.vansonnguyen.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
