    Euro 7 standard threatens small model future

    Automakers have expressed concern about the future of small models if the Euro 7 emission standard is applied in its present form in 2025.

    Volkswagen warned that the tougher legislation will cause price hikes, making these vehicles too expensive.

    This poses a threat to small models, including regular cars such as the Polo and Fabia, as well as crossovers and SUVs.
