AI Market Summary

Spacious family SUV with strong diesel efficiency; seven-seat option ideal for Irish families doing regular longer journeys.
Prices up 13.7% year-on-year — new stock is commanding premium, but compare against petrol hybrid Sorento or Toyota RAV4 to judge value.
Diesel DPF regeneration can fail in stop-start city driving; budget €150–250 for garage-forced regens if you're mostly urban. EGR carbon fouling emerges after 80k km — not immediate concern on new stock.
Before handover, confirm service plan covers DPF issues and request full dealer maintenance history records; verify all recalls (one outstanding) have been completed by supplying dealer.
