Starting in January, Uber drivers will need to comply with new rules imposed by the platform. The company announced a strict update to its list of permitted vehicles, banning a number of models from its two main service categories. Among the prohibited cars that can no longer be used are popular names such as the HB20 and the Renault Sandero. These changes are part of a strategy to raise the standards of comfort and safety offered to passengers, but they may directly impact the lives of many partner drivers.

Understand Why The HB20 And Renault Sandero Will Be Removed From Uber

Since 2009, the app has become practically indispensable. Originating in California, USA, the service has expanded worldwide and is present in over 10,000 cities, including those in Brazil, where it has one of the largest markets.

According to Uber, about 100 million people have already used the platform in Brazil. A study by IBGE also showed that there are over 721,000 active drivers, serving as an alternative to unemployment, moving millions of reais daily.

However, there are important rules for registering on the app. One of them, of course, pertains to the car model. According to information from Autoesporte, starting on the first day of 2025, a long list of cars banned on Uber will no longer be eligible for the Black and Comfort categories. Among the models are the HB20 and Renault Sandero.

In a statement, the company explained the reason for the banned cars on Uber. The automotive industry is constantly evolving. Therefore, it is always updating the models in the premium categories, aiming to keep these categories attractive and provide the best experience.

Find Out Which Cars Will Be Banned On Uber In 2025

Among the banned cars on Uber Black and Comfort are:

  • Hyundai HB20 (hatch);
  • JAC Motors T6;
  • Ford Focus;
  • Caoa Chery Tiggo 3x;
  • Peugeot 2008;
  • Ford Territory;
  • Renault Sandero;
  • Audi RS7;
  • Mitsubishi Pajero TR4;
  • Citroën C5;
  • Land Rover Freelander;
  • Citroën C4L;
  • Honda CR-V;
  • Suzuki Vitara;
  • Lifan X60;
  • Peugeot 508;
  • Peugeot 408;
  • Ford Edge;
  • Toyota Hilux;
  • Toyota Corolla Fielder;
  • Suzuki Grand Vitara;
  • Renault Fluence.

Despite this, the vehicle models will continue to operate normally via the common dynamics. In Comfort, where the HB20 and Renault Sandero are, the models are larger and the price is usually in the middle between the most expensive and the cheapest. In Black, the drivers are professionals with luxury cars.

The X category, on the other hand, is for daily use, with short and affordable rides. The app debuted in Brazil in 2014. Until recently, the platform also operated with Uber Eats, for food delivery, but ended the service and laid off its workers. Among the main competitors is 99.
