Car buying tips, market trends, and expert advice
On the current Nissan Qashqai the cheaper 1.3 mild hybrid can cost more in motor tax than the pricier e-POWER hybrid. Irish motor tax bands, used prices, known faults and the checks to do before you buy.
The purchase grant covers new battery electric cars only, but the home charger grant is a separate scheme that is not tied to buying new. What Irish buyers can actually claim, why your driveway matters more than any grant, and what to check on a used EV.
The third-generation 3008 prices its electric version almost level with the hybrid, and the EV costs EUR 80 a year less to tax. Full Irish price list, CO2 bands, the 520-litre boot question and what to check before you buy.
The K2 diesel Sportage costs EUR 3,700 less than the K3 and EUR 60 a year more to tax. Full Kia Ireland price list with verified WLTP CO2, every motor tax band worked out from the official schedule, and what the 7-year warranty is really worth used.
Three Corsa trims, one 100hp engine, and motor tax of EUR 190, EUR 190 or EUR 200 depending on the wheels. Full Opel Ireland price list with WLTP CO2 and tax band, the 48-volt hybrid compared, and what to check used.
