Switch to electric with Opel

Blackstone Motors in Cavan has unveiled a compelling range of Opel offers designed to make new-car ownership more accessible, particularly for motorists considering the move to electric driving.

Combined with the Government’s newly announced ICE2EV scrappage scheme, Opel’s growing electric vehicle range is set to offer exceptional value for Irish buyers in the months ahead as the 262 season kicks off in earnest.

Under Opel’s current 262 campaign, customers can avail of a €1,500 trade up bonus, a five-year unlimited mileage warranty and a choice of attractive finance packages. For those choosing a fully electric model, Opel is also offering 0% APR Hire Purchase finance across its electric range, helping to reduce the cost of making the switch to zero-emission motoring.

One of the most exciting additions to the Opel line-up is the all-new Frontera Electric. Positioned as a practical and affordable family SUV, the Frontera combines rugged styling with everyday usability and an accessible entry price. The model offers generous interior space, modern connectivity features and the elevated driving position that Irish motorists continue to favour.

For families looking to transition from an older petrol or diesel SUV, the Frontera Electric represents one of the most attainable routes into EV ownership. Opel is currently offering finance from €190 per month together with the trade up bonus and warranty package.

The Opel Mokka Electric continues to be one of the brand’s most stylish and distinctive models. Compact enough for urban driving yet practical enough for everyday family use, the Mokka stands out thanks to its bold design, advanced driver assistance systems and impressive efficiency. Buyers can currently benefit from 0% APR finance, making it an especially attractive proposition for motorists who want a premium-feeling electric crossover without a premium price tag.

For those seeking a larger electric SUV, the new Grandland Electric sits at the top of Opel’s electric range. As Opel’s flagship model, it combines striking design with long-distance capability, advanced technology and a spacious cabin. With an electric driving range of over 500 kilometres on a full charge, the Grandland Electric is well suited to Irish families who regularly undertake longer journeys. The model is available from €299 per month on PCP finance and also benefits from Opel’s 0% APR electric vehicle offers.

The timing of these offers is particularly significant given the launch of the Government’s new ICE2EV scrappage scheme. From July 2026, motorists who scrap a petrol or diesel vehicle registered in 2013 or earlier can qualify for a €5,000 scrappage payment in addition to the existing €3,500 EV grant, creating a total potential incentive of €8,500 towards the purchase of a new fully electric vehicle. The scheme applies exclusively to new battery-electric vehicles, making Opel’s electric range ideally positioned to benefit.

For Irish motorists considering the move away from petrol or diesel power, Opel’s 262 offers provide a timely opportunity. Between competitive finance packages, generous trade-up incentives, comprehensive warranty cover and the prospect of substantial Government support, models such as the Frontera Electric, Mokka Electric and Grandland Electric offer a practical and affordable pathway into the future of motoring.
