Month after month, PHEVs seems to become an Irish favorite, and for the first times sales of PHEVs have hit the 1000 units mark in a single month, [before BEVs could](https://www.irishevowners.ie/irish-bevs-sales-january-2021/) !

PHEVs market share is at 4.38% (1.80% in January 2020) and the progress, like for BEVs, is driven with a growing offer of models. Good news is that we have now a choice of vehicles around the €30,0000 price point (Kia Cee’d, Renault Captur and Mégane, on top of the Kia Niro) whilst before you could hardly find anything below €40,000. These new vehicles are priced similarly to equivalent HEVs that have a tiny battery and no socket. So why still buy a Toyota Hybrid ?

New this month, the Seat Leon is coming with a 204hp powertrain, in hatch and Estate form, with a choice of 4 trims starting at €34.990.

Used imports are still very healthy, and just like for BEVs, we’re looking forward to see the long term effect of Brexit over imports volumes.
