AI Market Summary

Strong efficiency gains on mixed driving: PHEV lets you run electric for commutes, petrol for longer trips—suits Irish 15–20k km/year patterns well.
Prices up 9% year-on-year; at €42k–€43k, competitive against RAV4 Prime and Outlander PHEV, but confirm total cost-of-ownership including electricity tariffs.
Battery degrades 10–15% by 40k km; charging faults in damp weather common—Ireland's wet climate makes port/charger durability a real concern before buying.
Have battery health professionally tested (kWh capacity) and inspect charging port/connector for corrosion or loose contacts; request full service history for any fault codes.
NI import saves €4,835 before VRT applies on top; factor in registration fees and VAT reclaim eligibility before committing to cross-border purchase.
