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

In these worrying Brexit times it was a relief to attend the launch of a new model to a fanfare of good news.

The news that Dublin has been named as one of the worst cities in the world to be a driver came as no surprise last week as I had spent nearly 30 minutes travelling a few kilometres from the city centre at rush hour.

This is a story about a car that promises to do what few others manage: to cover 440km or so on one charge. Yes, this is about an electric car – the Kona crossover EV from Hyundai.

Honda Ireland introduced a Hybrid version of their new CR-V crossover today which promises to combine low emissions and impressive fuel economy with all the practicality of the well-known nameplate.
Unfortunately due to the battery placement, there will not be a seven-seat option for the Hybrid CR-V. Starting at €38,000, the five seat SUV has a combined power output of 184 PS and claims an average fuel economy of 5.3l/100km. A four-wheel-drive model is available from €43,500 and trim levels will closely resemble that of the existing petrol model, which you can watch our detailed video review of below.
Stay tuned for a full review and test drive of the Hybrid model coming soon. 

Sharp new look

It’s not every day a new car comes on the market that is less expensive than the dated predecessor it follows.
