Renault SA is benefiting from robust pricing and cost discipline amid continued demand for a range of models such as the electric Megane E-Tech, even as rivals suffer from a slower electric-vehicle market.

“We are sticking to a policy of stable prices,” Chief Financial Officer Thierry Pieton said Tuesday on a media call . “We have managed to lower costs by quite a bit — our new models come at a higher margin for us and at a lower price for our customers.”
