AI Market Summary

Genuinely economical if you charge regularly; petrol fallback makes long trips viable without range anxiety.
Mid-market pricing reflects modest supply (5 active); PHEV buyers still scarce in Ireland, so resale predictability is limited.
Battery capacity drops noticeably after 40k–60k km — check actual available kWh with diagnostic tool before purchase, not just claimed range.
Inspect charging port physically (wiggle connectors, test in cold) and request recent DC charging logs; intermittent connection faults are costly repairs outside warranty.
Three recalls on file — confirm all completed with Renault dealer before handover; out-of-warranty battery replacement runs €8k–€12k, so 8-year/160k km Renault cover status is critical.

Maintenance costs

€520

estimated per year

PHEV maintenance is hybrid-specific: petrol engine service intervals are 15,000 km or annually (whichever first), and the 48V starter-generator, 400V inverter, and thermal management system require specialist diagnostics; independent garages familiar with Renault PHEVs are essential for value.

Annual service5W-30 synthetic, ~4.5 litres; petrol engine oil change intervals 15,000 km; hybrid systems (starter-generator, inverter) do not require oil

Tyres (amortised)Michelin Primacy 4 or equivalent; 225/45R17 standard; PHEV weight (1,600 kg) increases wear vs petrol
