We’ve been through all of the manufacturers’ websites to find out what deals they’re laying on for the 262-plate new-car-registration period, so that you can locate the best offer for you.
If a carmaker doesn’t appear on the list, it’s either that they’re not doing 262 offers at all, or their 261 offers have expired, or they haven’t yet published how they would update 261 offers for the 262 registration. But check every website again for the most up-to-date information if you’re interested in a new car.
Alfa Romeo
Alfa is offering 3.9 per cent APR on PCP finance, 4.9 per cent on HP, a five-year warranty, a three-year service plan and a free Energia home-charger plan with every electric (EV) model as its offer bundle for 262.
Audi
There are finance deals starting from 2.9 per cent APR as part of the Audi All-Access 262 programme, which runs until May 25.
BMW
The German company is offering low APR percentages from 3.9 on its BMW Select (PCP) deals at present, while it will also give customers anything between €1,500 and €5,000 if they trade-in any car while buying a new BMW EV.
BYD
Chinese outfit BYD is offering PCP and HP rates at 3.99 per cent on its EVs, while that figure climbs to 4.99 per cent for any of the PHEVs.
Citroen

Any new Cupra ordered between now and May 31, and registered on or before July 31, can avail of super-low PCP finance rates of either 0.9, 1.9 or 2.9 per cent (depending on model).
Dacia
Low monthly rates are the watchword with budget brand Dacia, starting at just €139pcm for a Sandero hatchback (this car also comes with a free service plan) and rising to anything from €249 for a Duster Hybrid SUV.
Fiat
Like fellow Italian and Stellantis firm Alfa, Fiat has the exactly the same set of deals on its entire range of vehicles – 3.9 per cent APR PCP, 4.9 per cent HP, five years’ worth of warranty with no distance cap and three years’ worth of roadside assistance, and the Energia tie-up for a free home charger for all EVs.
Ford
It’s a 0 per cent APR deal over at Ford, with its Options finance package. Predominantly available on three of its EVs – the Puma Gen-E, Explorer and Capri – the offer also applies to the regular Puma, Kuga and Focus range of cars, with thousands of euro of reductions in list prices available on the vehicles too.
Hyundai
The Korean giant has APR as low as 2.49 per cent on its Kona and regular range of Ioniq EVs, although a lot of the cars sold by Hyundai are at 4.99 per cent APR instead. There are some at 3.99 per cent, though, including the Ioniq 6 and 9 EVs, and the ultra-popular Tucson SUV. There’s also the Energia Fully Charged offer of a free home smart-charger, from either Ohme or Zappi, or – if you already have a charger – either a free upgrade to the smart devices or preferential rates on overnight electricity tariffs.
Jeep
Until June 30, Jeep is offering the same Stellantis deals as Alfa and Fiat (3.9 per cent APR PCP, 4.9 per cent APR HP, a five-year, unlimited-distance warranty and three years’ worth of roadside assistance) on its Avenger and Grand Cherokee models. In addition, there’s the Freedom To Choose Electric scheme on the Avenger. Both the EV and Hybrid versions of the small Jeep are the same €29,995 price each, and customers can buy the Electric and try it for six months (and no more than 10,000km); if they don’t like it, then Jeep Ireland will switch them into an Avenger Hybrid instead.
Land Rover
The company is offering a flat 5.25 per cent APR rate on all its PCP and HP deals for specific variants within all its models’ lines, with the vehicles excepted from this rule being the 90, 130 and Hard Top versions of the blocky Defender. All four Range Rover families (full-size, Sport, Velar and Evoque) and the Defender 110 have at least one model which qualifies, however.

Nissan
Nissan has 4.9 per cent APR on PCP and HP finance deals, as well as a €4,000 finance contribution or trade-in bonus too – and these deals can be combined. They run until July 31.
Opel
Calling this the ‘Opel Open Road Event’, the 262 offers are a €1,500 Trade Up Bonus and low-cost finance options. There are at 2.9 per cent APR on HP or PCP, unless you go for one of the marque EVs – in which case, there’s a 0 per cent APR deal running with HP packages. All Opels in the 262 event also come with a five-year, unlimited-distance warranty.
Peugeot
The French firm is not only offering low finance rates of 1.9-3.9 per cent APR on PCP deals (with the lowest figure for the 208 supermini), but between €1,500 and €3,000 of deposit contribution too. There is also the offer of a free home charger for EVs and PHEVs, a three-year free service plan for all its fully electric models, and a five-year, unlimited-distance warranty too. These 262 offers expire on July 31.
Polestar

On top of this, there’s also three years’ roadside assistance and three years’ worth of insurance on the car’s tyres.
Skoda
Until the end of May and providing the car is registered in the month of July, Skoda is offering zero per cent APR on certain models – chiefly, the Elroq EV, as well as the Octavia, Kamiq and Scala. Meanwhile, the Fabia, Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe EVs, and the Karoq, Kodiaq and Superb are all offered at 1.9 per cent APR finance.
Suzuki
Suzuki is offering 0 per cent APR on all four of its main model lines, as long as the cars are ordered before June 30 is out.
Tesla

To qualify for any of these deals, you must order by July 31.
