Renault Ireland has announced its special deals to tempt in customers looking for a 241-registered car from January.
Updated Arkana SUV-coupe
The headline of the offers is doubtless the zero per cent hire purchase (HP) finance available for models such as the just-updated Renault Arkana SUV-coupe, the also-just updated Clio and the Captur.
The updated Arkana comes with either the zero per cent finance or a trade-in boost of €1,500. That means you can land one on your driveway - in TCe 140 Evolution mild-hybrid specification - for €389 per month over 48 months. If you want the Hybrid version of the Arkana Evolution, that's going to be €399 per month over the same period. Renault - through its Mobilize Finance bank arm - reckons that thanks to having no interest to pay, customers can save up to €3,500 in interest compared to high street bank rates on a €25,000 loan financed over four years.
Renault Clio hatchback
The Clio hatchback - which has also just arrived in its updated form - comes with the choice of the same zero per cent finance or a €1,000 trade-in boost, with monthly repayments for the TCe 90 Evolution model starting from €349, increasing to €427 per month for the Clio E-Tech Hybrid.
The Captur crossover also gets the choice of zero per cent or the €1,000 trade-in boost, and that equates to €379 per month for the TCe 90 Evolution model, or €479 per month for the Hybrid. Incidentally, that zero per cent HP APR finance available from Mobilize Financial Services is based on a maximum finance amount of €25,000, a 48-month term and 30 per cent deposit.
Matching the SEAI grant
If you're interested in a Megane E-Tech Electric hatchback, then Renault is offering to match the SEAI's €3,500 EV purchase grant with another €3,500 knocked off the price, and that's for both private customers and business buyers. The Megane E-Tech Electric can be had on a 4.9 per cent finance package, with monthly repayments starting from €225 per month.
Meanwhile, the Austral E-Tech Hybrid SUV can be had for monthly repayments of €379 per month. All of the above offers are for cars ordered and registered by January 31.
