I want to buy a plug-in hybrid car. What makes/models are available in Ireland?
Hi Brian,
All of BMW, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Volvo, Mercedes, Hyundai, Audi, Kia, Volkswagen and Porsche offer some form of plug-in hybrids in their ranges. For BMWs, you need to look for ‘e’ badging (e.g. 330e), for Volvos ‘T8’ (e.g. XC90 T8), for Mercedes it’s also ‘e’ (e.g. C 350 e), for Audi it’s ‘e-tron’ (e.g. A3 e-tron), for Volkswagens it’s ‘GTE’ (e.g. Passat GTE) and for Porsche it’s ‘E-Hybrid’ (e.g. Panamera E-Hybrid). Alternatively, Mitsubishi sells the Outlander PHEV, Toyota has a plug-in version of the Prius hybrid, Hyundai does an Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid and Kia offers the Niro Plug-in Hybrid. We expect quite a few new additions this year.
