Welcome to the 261 Motoring Guide brought to you by the Killarney Advertiser

There’s no doubt that the car-buying public in Kerry is spoilt for choice. From the latest electric innovations to trusted petrol and diesel favourites, motorists in the county have access to an incredible range of vehicles across every major brand.

While the shift toward electric motoring continues to grow, traditional power units still have a strong presence in showrooms across Kerry. For such a small corner of the global motoring market, it’s remarkable to think that nearly every major manufacturer is represented right here in the county from compact city cars and SUVs to luxury performance models and commercial vehicles.
Anyone looking to buy in 2026 can look forward to a wide selection of new models, some of which have already landed in Kerry dealerships, as well as updated versions of familiar favourites. The new year brings fresh technology, improved efficiency, and more choice than ever before for Kerry drivers.
As you make your way around the showrooms of Tralee, Killarney, and Castleisland, remember to mention that you read about it in the Killarney Advertiser’s 261 Motoring Feature your complete local guide to what’s new on the road for 2026.
