News about Renault
Renault has revealed the production Niagara, a midsize pickup built on the RGMP platform for Brazil, Argentina and Colombia. It replaces the Oroch and is built at the Santa Isabel plant in Córdoba, Argentina, launching with a 1.3-litre turbo petrol rated 156 hp and sales starting November 2026.
AVILOO's analysis of over 500,000 battery tests across 20 EV models found most retain about 90% of capacity at 150,000 km - but the spread within a single model can exceed 13 percentage points, undercutting mileage as a health signal.
Dacia has revealed the second-generation Spring and opened orders in France. The cheapest electric car in its range is no longer assembled in China: it moves to Renault Group's Novo Mesto plant in Slovenia, onto the new RG-EV small platform, with a 60 kW motor, a 27.5 kWh LFP battery and up to 250 km WLTP. Prices start at €17,990 (about $19,600) before incentives.
Explainers
Six car badges are built in South Korea and four companies own them. Hyundai Motor Group makes 84% of them, and two of the others are foreign-controlled.
Who owns Europe's car brands: the five groups that hold most of them, the icons now controlled from China, India and Abu Dhabi, and the same map sorted by country.
Six powertrains are on sale and three of them are called hybrids. What MHEV, HEV, PHEV, EREV and EV mean, how far each goes on its battery, and how to tell them apart.
Japan's carmakers stay overwhelmingly Japanese-controlled, but the ownership lines are still tangled - Toyota holds minority stakes in three of its own rivals, and Nissan, Mitsubishi and Renault are locked into a 25-year cross-shareholding pact that a 2025 Honda-Nissan merger attempt failed to simplify.

Renault is one of Europe’s largest automakers and the French government’s largest industrial holding. The brand’s electric pivot began in earnest with the Zoe in 2012 and accelerated with the CMF-BEV platform, which underpins the Renault 5, Renault 4, and Alpine A290.
The Renault 4 E-Tech Electric, launched in 2024, revives a nameplate from the 1960s. Its Plein Sud variant adds a canvas roof - a body style the original R4 also offered in the 1970s.
