DESPITE THE light commercial vehicle market being in even worse shape than the new car market – down 70 per cent on last year – Honda is introducing its first vehicle into this segment of the Irish market with the CR-V commercial.
It is powered by Honda’s 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine, and includes features such as leather upholstery, Bluetooth hands-free mobile connection, built-in satnav, cruise control and alloys. It starts at €26,595 excluding VAT and €32,000 with VAT.
Mitsubishi is celebrating 25 years in Ireland this month. The Japanese brand, distributed by a subsidiary of Frank Keane Holdings, currently has more than 100 employees and 33 dealers across the State.
Frank Keane, chairman of Mitsubishi Motors Ireland said: “It’s a landmark, and one we are very proud to have achieved.
“We are operating in an extremely tough economic environment, yet the strong reputation for reliability and value for money that our vehicles enjoy will help ensure we continue to supply and service Mitsubishis for Irish motorists for many years to come.”
