AI Market Summary

New 2026 model with minimal miles; excellent efficiency blending petrol engine and electric drive for Irish commutes under 50 km daily.
Pricing at €55,914 reflects strong demand and recent 27.8% YoY increase — expect premium over older plug-in hybrids; competitive within segment but not discounted.
Battery degradation is the primary concern after 3–5 years; DCT judder and high-voltage charging faults documented — budget for potential warranty claims early.
Before purchase, request full service history and confirm battery health guarantee covers at least 8 years/160,000 km; test hybrid-to-petrol transitions on test drive for smoothness.

estimated per year

PHEV servicing is costlier than standard petrol due to dual-powertrain inspection, high-voltage diagnostics, and charging system checks; real-world fuel consumption will be 40–60% higher than WLTP if not charged every 1–2 days, negating efficiency gains.
