End of an era in the Brazilian automotive market: Renault Logan, Citroën C4 and other popular cars will be discontinued in 2024. Even the iconic Camaro sports car is saying goodbye to the country.
Constant renewal is essential for automakers who want to remain competitive and profitable, especially in a scenario of rapid technological and market changes. However, this also means that some models that are beloved by consumers end up being discontinued. In 2024, the Brazilian automotive market will say goodbye to popular vehicles such as the Renault Logan and the Citroën C4, in addition to the iconic Camaro sports car, which will also be discontinued. This decision, which directly impacts fans of these models, reflects the new strategies of automakers in search of innovation and adaptation to the new demands of the sector.
Renault Logan, Citroën C4 and other popular cars will leave Brazil
Leaving Brazil was what happened to the Volkswagen Gol, the best-selling car in the country's history, which was discontinued on December 23, 2022 because it was not compatible with the new Brazilian rules on pollutant emissions and safety, even though it was still very successful.
This year, it is likely that more models known to drivers will leave the dealership shelves, either because they do not meet legal requirements or for marketing reasons.

The compact sedan Renault Logan is available in the Life and Zen versions and costs around R$97. The Stepway SUV is only sold in the Zen configuration, which costs R$86.990.
Sports cars will also leave the Brazilian automotive market

The same happened with the variant Bolt EUV SUV, which has also been discontinued.
Not only popular cars will leave Brazil, and another painful farewell was that of the Chevrolet Camaro, which certainly makes sports car fans miss it.. Its production ended at the beginning of the year, and the units still on the market start at R$510 thousand.
Returning to the popular ones, the French automaker Citroën is expected to bid farewell to the C4 Cactus, motivated by the debut of the seven-seater SUV Citroën C3 Aircross and its coupe sibling, the C3 X or Fastlounge. stellantis has not confirmed the end of production, but it is already almost impossible to find units of the model, whose price starts at R$111.990.
