‘261’ Ready at Erne Motor Works Open Weekend

On the lookout for your next new vehicle or curious to understand more about Toyota’s new models for 261? Then get yourself into the annual Open Weekend this weekend at Erne Motor Works, Cavan.

Erne Motor Works has been at the heart of motoring in Cavan for over 50 years and credits its long-standing success to its dedicated staff and loyal customers. At the Toyota dealership, customers are at the heart of everything staff do, offering expert advice and personalised service across their Sales, Finance and Aftersales divisions.

With Toyota, motorists can be as electric as they want to be. “With so much choice out there when it comes to the various powertrains, we understand it can be confusing for customers. Whether you’re looking for the efficiency of a hybrid, the versatility of a plug-in hybrid, the thrill of going fully electric or you are a business in need of a trust worthy commercial vehicle, the Open Weekend is your perfect chance to experience the Toyota range in a relaxed, informative way,” encourages Dara Fitzpatrick, Dealer Principal at Erne Motor Works.

The friendly sales team and expert Toyota technicians will be on hand throughout the weekend to advise and guide people towards the most suitable vehicle for them and bring you through the attractive 261 offers and flexible finance options across the range for January 2026.

Customers also get information on customised accessories for each model, government grants available for electric vehicles, extended battery warranties, and Toyota’s unique extended service activated warranty (Toyota Relax). Highly skilled diagnostic, hybrid and electric technicians will also be available to answer any hybrid/electric questions.

New models

“In Cavan, we are delighted to continue to hold our position as the number one car choice for drivers for the sixth consecutive year,” revealed Dara.

“Toyota has a fantastic, versatile line up on the market for 261, with the addition of four new models so there really is something for everyone!”

Toyota has five models in the top 10 Passenger car sales in Cavan currently – Yaris Cross, Rav-4, Corolla, C-HR and Corolla Cross.

That’s according to the latest statistics released by the Society of Motor Industry of Ireland (SIMI) on new car registrations.

Availability for 2026 is strong, including the arrival of the compact but agile, punchy All-New Aygo X 1.5 litre hybrid and the anticipated arrival of the high performing, dynamic, much-loved Rav-4 to complete Toyota’s hybrid options.

For the best of both worlds in electrified driving, customers can check out the Toyota C-HR plug-in hybrid and Prius plug-in hybrid. And for those who want the full electric experience, there are two new impressive models available; the Toyota bZ and the new C-HR+ which has a sleek modern design and quotes an impressive driving range of up to 600km.

Commercial range

Guests will be able to explore Toyota’s dedicated line up of commercial vehicles at the Open Weekend, including the legendary Landcruiser, the iconic Hi-Lux, the versatile Proace fleet, and the first hybrid addition to their commercial line up, the Corolla Hybrid Van, which gives business customers the advantage of fuel efficiency and lower emissions than a conventional vehicle.

“We are looking forward to our upcoming Open Weekend; there is always a great buzz around the showroom so make sure to drop into us at Dublin Rod, Cavan on the Saturday or Sunday, enjoy a chat, coffee and discover our extensive range — no obligations, no pressure,” said Dara.

The Open Weekend will run this Saturday and Sunday, November 1 and 2, from 10am to 4:30pm on Saturday and 12 noon to 4pm on Sunday.
