Ireland's No 1 For Used Cars • 1,000+ Dealers • 50,000+ Used Cars • 2,000+ Car Reviews

AS no one has contradicted my guesstimate price of the new Mercedes compact CLA 4dr Coupe from Mercedes which gets to Ireland next month, I reckon it’s safe to say it will start around €34,000.

Mercedes unveiled their new large SUV 4×4, the GLE, here this week. The old GLE was overshadowed by higher-profiled BMW X5 and Audi Q7 rivals, but there’s a lot more style and substance to this. And they are pointing at significant price differences that favour the GLE over the rival duo. They expect 300 to buy one in a full year, claiming an additional €9,000 worth of spec over the old one.

Hybrids drive solely on electric power for more than 60pc of the time they are on the road, a new Irish university study reveals.

A significant number of Irish people expect to see autonomous vehicles on our roads over the next decade or so (11 years to be precise), according to a new survey.

It is ‘highly likely’ we will see electric vehicles (EVs) take a 10pc share of the new-car market by the end of next year, a world expert told me in Dublin.
