Why Genesis is Popular in Ireland
Genesis is Hyundai's premium brand, offering luxury sedans and SUVs at competitive prices. It's still building its presence in Ireland, but import numbers are growing. The key thing for any would-be importer: VRT is based on the Irish OMSP, not what you paid abroad, so the CO2 figure directly drives which VRT band and rate you'll pay.

Genesis VRT Bands in Ireland
Irish VRT works on a CO2 percentage system — lower emissions mean a lower rate. The 2026 bands run from 7% at the cleanest end up to 41% for the highest emitters. Here's the full breakdown: 0-50g/km is 7%, 51-80g/km is 9%, 81-85g/km is 9.75%, 86-90g/km is 10.5%, 91-95g/km is 11.25%, 96-100g/km is 12%, 101-105g/km is 12.75%, 106-110g/km is 13.5%, 111-115g/km is 15.25%, 116-120g/km is 16%, 121-125g/km is 16.75%, 126-130g/km is 17.5%, 131-135g/km is 19.25%, 136-140g/km is 20%, 141-145g/km is 21.5%, 146-150g/km is 25%, 151-155g/km is 27.5%, 156-170g/km is 30%, 171-190g/km is 35%, and anything at 191g/km or above hits the maximum 41%.
Electric Genesis models qualify for up to €5,000 VRT relief, tapering to zero at €50,000 OMSP. The plug-in hybrid relief that was available before ended on 31 December 2021.
Genesis covers everything from luxury sedans to SUVs. Emissions vary across the range, and that directly affects your VRT bill — always check the specific figure for the model variant you're considering.
Importing a Genesis to Ireland
Importing a Genesis from the UK or EU follows the standard Irish import process: any applicable customs duty, Irish VAT at 23%, then a visit to the Revenue VRT office with your registration document, proof of purchase, Certificate of Conformity, and NOx emissions data. Revenue sets the OMSP and applies the CO2-based rate. The whole process typically takes two to four weeks.
From a VRT standpoint, lower-CO2 and electric Genesis models make more sense. High-emission variants above 190g/km land in the 41% band, which on a luxury car can be a serious amount of money.
Genesis VRT FAQs
How is VRT calculated on a Genesis imported to Ireland?
It uses the standard CO2-based system for all Irish imports. Revenue calculates the OMSP, applies age-related depreciation (10% at 1-2 years up to 50% over 5 years), then applies the CO2-band percentage rate. Electric Genesis models qualify for up to €5,000 VRT relief. Plug-in hybrid relief ended on 31 December 2021.
Which Genesis model has the lowest VRT?
Electric Genesis models get the best deal here, with up to €5,000 VRT relief available. For petrol and diesel variants, it comes down to the specific CO2 figure — lower is always cheaper. Check the official WLTP number for the exact variant you're looking at.
Does importing a Genesis save money?
Importing can save versus Irish forecourt prices, but you must add VRT, any customs duty, and 23% VAT. Compare the total landed cost before committing.
