Car buying tips, market trends, and expert advice
The first-generation Toyota C-HR hybrid on the Irish used market: 87 g/km, EUR 180 motor tax, the Toyota Relax warranty that reactivates at every service, and the faults to check before you buy.
The Juke Hybrid emits 112 g/km, which means €190 a year in motor tax — the same band as a much bigger family SUV. It is also 30hp stronger than the turbo petrol and 1.7 seconds quicker. The catch is 68 litres of boot space. Here is the full Irish arithmetic before you commit.
Ireland’s cheapest new SUV starts at €25,990 and the Duster hybrid 155 pays just €180 a year in motor tax. Full Irish price and CO2 table from Dacia Ireland’s own May 2026 price list, plus the timing belt, rust and EDC gearbox checks that decide whether a used Duster is a bargain or a liability.
Ford built the last Focus on 14 November 2025, ending 27 years and about twelve million cars. For Irish buyers that turns it into a used-only proposition. Here are the final Irish specs and prices, motor tax from 190 euro, and the two faults - the pre-2019 wet belt and the PowerShift gearbox - that decide whether a used Focus is a bargain or a breakdown.
The Kodiaq is the only true seven-seater left in Ireland's top ten. Here is the Irish arithmetic - what the third row actually costs you in boot space, why the PHEV has double the battery of its rivals, 2,500kg of towing, five-year running costs, and the one service item that decides whether a used one is a bargain or a bill.
The Toyota Yaris Cross is Ireland's number one car of 2026. Here is why - real-world fuel economy of 4.5 litres/100km, EUR 190 motor tax, a warranty that runs to 10 years, and a five-year running cost of about EUR 0.26 per kilometre. Plus the AWD-i boot trade-off most buyers miss, Irish trim advice and the used buyer's checklist.
