New '262' offers from Renault

With the arrival of the new '262' registration period, Renault Ireland has launched an impressive range of offers designed to make new-car ownership more affordable than ever, particularly for motorists considering the switch to electric driving.

As Ireland prepares for the introduction of the Government’s new EV scrappage scheme, Renault’s award-winning electric range is exceptionally well positioned to benefit from the incentives available to buyers.

Among the standout models is the Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric, the 2025 Irish Car of the Year in its category, and currently available with a 0% APR finance offer through Renault Ireland. The family-friendly SUV combines striking design, advanced technology and an impressive driving range of up to 625km (WLTP), making it one of the most compelling electric vehicles currently available on the Irish market.

Another major attraction for Irish buyers is the new Renault 5 E-Tech Electric. Already named the 2026 Irish Car of the Year, the retro-inspired hatchback has generated significant excitement thanks to its blend of iconic styling, modern technology and accessible pricing. With a range of up to 410km, it offers an attractive entry point into electric motoring.

The Renault Megane E-Tech Electric also remains a strong contender in the growing EV market. Offering up to 470km of range and enhanced charging technology, the Megane combines everyday practicality with premium levels of comfort and connectivity, making it ideal for both commuting and longer journeys.

The timing of Renault’s 262 offers is particularly significant given the Government’s recently announced EV scrappage initiative. Under the pilot scheme, motorists who scrap a petrol or diesel vehicle that is 13 years old or more can qualify for a €5,000 scrappage payment in addition to the existing €3,500 EV grant, creating a total potential saving of €8,500 towards the purchase of a new battery-electric vehicle.

The scheme is due to launch from July 1, 2026, and is aimed at helping more Irish families make the transition to zero-emission motoring.

As fully electric vehicles are expected to qualify for the enhanced incentive, models such as the Renault 5 E-Tech, Megane E-Tech and Scenic E-Tech are likely to attract strong interest from buyers looking to maximise the available supports.

For motorists across Cavan, Monaghan and the wider Border region, Blackstone Motors continues to be a key destination for Renault customers. As an authorised Renault dealer and service provider, the dealership is currently promoting Renault’s latest 262 offers, including attractive finance packages, trade-in incentives and access to Renault’s expanding electric vehicle range.

With generous manufacturer offers, award-winning electric vehicles and the prospect of substantial Government support through the new scrappage scheme, the 262 registration period could prove to be one of the most attractive opportunities yet for Irish motorists considering the move to electric driving.
