Everything Irish buyers need on the Dacia Sandero and Sandero Stepway: 2026 prices from EUR 18,890, verified WLTP CO2 figures, motor tax worked out from the official schedule, reliability weak points and a pre-purchase checklist.

Verified Irish prices, WLTP CO2 figures and motor tax for the Renault Clio TCe 90 and E-Tech 145 hybrid, plus the registration-year rule that changes what you actually pay.
The Kia EV3 starts at €36,790 after grants and pays €120 a year in motor tax — the lowest band in Ireland.

Toyota Ireland prices the new RAV4 from €48,005 — several thousand above its rivals.

Hybrid or full electric? In Ireland that choice is worth 80 euro a year in motor tax alone. Real figures from Peugeot Ireland's own price list and Stellantis technical data - 121-125 g/km and 200 euro tax for the Hybrid 145, 513-526 km range and 120 euro for the E-3008 - plus the 1.2 PureTech wet belt fault that decides whether a used 3008 is a bargain or a write-off.
