AI Market Summary

Spacious, practical SUV with strong safety kit and excellent boot space—ideal for Irish families needing towing capacity or load hauling.
Pricing up 13.7% year-on-year; at €56,823 median, this 2026 diesel sits mid-to-premium for the segment—shop around the €45k–€68k spread to avoid overpaying.
DPF regeneration failures common in urban/short-trip driving; budget €150–250 for forced regens at independent garages if you don't rack up regular motorway miles.
Before purchase, ask dealer for full service history and whether any DPF or turbocharger work has been done; request proof of at least one motorway-run DPF clean.
Turbocharger lag on cold starts and EGR carbon build-up after 80,000 km are known issues—factor long-term servicing costs into your sums.
