BMW 530e iPerformance (150) : +384% – This is a very respectable level of sales considering that the 5-series is a premium model. A proof that it has gained respect from its customers and sales network : Only 67 petrol 5-series were sold during the same period. The 520d is still the star of that range but things are slowly changing. [Find our test drive here.](https://www.irishevowners.ie/test-drive-bmw-530e-iperformance/)   2. Kia Niro PHEV (136) : It has landed in 2018 and is the most affordable PHEV on the Irish market, at €31.495. It is ticking all the boxes for an Irish success being a roomy family car with a crossover look, that allowed it to get the second spot of the market.   3. BMW 330e iPerformance (93) : -16% – It was the best selling PHEV last year but is now discontinued… The new 3-series has just been launched and the 330e variant will only arrive during the second part of 2019.   4. Volvo XC90 T8 (66) : +50% – The former best selling Irish PHEV SUV is still going strong.   5. Mini Countryman Cooper SE All4 (42) : +320%[ Find our test drive here](https://www.irishevowners.ie/test-drive-mini-countryman-cooper-se-all4-plug-in-hybrid/)   6. Volvo XC60 T8 (36) : +500%. Not as popular as the XC90 just yet but catching up.   7. Hyundai Ioniq PHEV (28) – Launched in 2018. Could do much better considering its €31995 price and its good efficiency.   7. Porsche Panamera (28) : A compliance car, but representing over 90% of Panamera sales, now that the diesel is gone.   9. Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (26) : +24% – The original PHEV SUV is back, at a [much cheaper price tag](https://www.irishevowners.ie/facelift-mitsubishi-outlander-phev/). Sales have shown great progress during the second part of 2018 and it could be in the 2019 top 3.   10. Toyota Prius (23) : -23%. This doesn’t seem to get much attention from is sales network, a collateral damage from the so called “self-charging” cars campaign that denigrates any car with a socket.       [View full post](https://www.irishevassociation.ie/news/best-selling-irish-phevs-for-2018-new-car-sales) ```json { "@context" : "http://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Admin" }, "dateModified" : "2023-09-05T17:49:41.717Z", "datePublished" : "2019-01-03T11:10:59Z", "headline" : "Best selling Irish PHEVs for 2018 (new car sales)", "image" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 60, "url" : "/hs/hsstatic/content_shared_assets/static-1.4092/img/default-amp-logo.png", "width" : 60 }, "mainEntityOfPage" : "https://www.irishevassociation.ie/news/best-selling-irish-phevs-for-2018-new-car-sales", "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "height" : 60.0, "url" : "https://140808973.fs1.hubspotusercontent-eu1.net/hubfs/140808973/Imported_Blog_Media/IEVA_Logo_FC-1-1.jpg", "width" : 65.64103 }, "name" : "Irish EV Association News" } } ```
