What's the news?
Renault Ireland is doing a strong offer across its entire model line-up for the 181 registration period, designed to cut the cost of ownership for the next three years.
The deal, available at all of Renault's 28 dealerships nationwide, includes three per cent APR PCP finance, three years' servicing and three years' road tax on all cars ordered and registered before January 31st, 2018. And there are no exemptions to the conventional passenger car range: this three, three, three offer applies to all of the Koleos, Megane (including Sport Tourer and Grand Coupe models), Scenic and Grand Scenic, Clio, Kadjar and Captur vehicles.
And if you fancy the zero-emissions Zoe, following on from the recent Government Budget announcement on zero per cent Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) for electric vehicles (EVs), then here's another zero for you: Renault will offer 0 per cent HP finance on the Zoe, which has the longest range of any mainstream EV (400km NEDC), with around 300km in real-world driving conditions possible.
There's also good news if you fancy a value Dacia, as there's a 4.9 per cent APR PCP deal that includes zero deposit, meaning you can walk into a dealership and sign up for a new Duster, Sandero, Stepway or Logan MCV Stepway without needing to pay anything up front.
Commercial vehicle users are accommodated too, as Renault Pro+ dealerships in Ireland are offering three per cent APR HP over 60 months on all Master, Trafic and Kangoo van orders taken and registered before the end of January 2018.
All of these offers are available through Renault Bank, which provides customers with lower interest rates and further savings when compared to high street commercial banks. There's a Renault Bank branch in all 28 dealerships, offering two-hour decision times and approval rates of 80 per cent.
Finally, Renault Open Week will take place from November 20-25 and for every test drive completed in the dealerships during this period, dealers will donate €5 to Renault's charity partner Pieta House, a suicide and self-harm crisis centre. Renault Ireland will then match the final amount raised by the network.
Anything else?
Patrick Magee, country operations manager for Renault Group Ireland, said: "Renault Group is looking forward to 2018. With the youngest model range, we continue to stay away from the gimmick offers on the market and instead show 'real' offers designed to reduce the customer's cost of ownership over three years. Our own bank, Renault Bank, has now lent €190 million year-to-date and our network is the third biggest in Ireland. We are really looking forward to a successful 2018."
