Jaguar Import Value
Jaguar represents British luxury and performance, but this premium positioning means higher VRT than mainstream brands. The F-Pace is the most popular Jaguar import to Ireland, while the I-Pace electric SUV offers 0 VRT with full EV relief. Diesel Jaguars face significant NOx levies, making petrol models increasingly attractive for importers.
Jaguar VRT Sweet Spots
- Jaguar I-Pace EV: Zero VRT with full EV relief
- Jaguar XE 2.0 Petrol: Entry-level luxury with moderate VRT
- Jaguar E-Pace 2.0 Petrol: Compact SUV with lower VRT
- Jaguar F-Pace 2.0D: Popular import with NOx levy consideration

Best Jaguar Models for VRT Value in 2026
The I-Pace EV offers the best VRT value with 0g/km CO2 and 50% EV relief, costing around €2,800 on a €40,000 car — exceptional for a premium SUV. Among petrol models, the XE 2.0 at 135g/km in the 16% band costs about €4,000 on a €25,000 car. Avoid diesel Jaguars unless you factor in the NOx levy (600-2,400), and the F-Type sports car commands VRT of 10,000-20,000.
Jaguar VRT FAQs
How is VRT calculated on a Jaguar import?
VRT on a Jaguar uses the standard CO2-based system. Rates range from 14% (0-120g/km) to 37% (over 225g/km). Most Jaguars fall in higher bands due to larger engines. The I-Pace EV qualifies for 50% EV relief. Diesel models also attract NOx levies of 500-2,400 depending on NOx output.
Which Jaguar model has the lowest VRT?
The I-Pace has the lowest VRT thanks to EV relief, costing 0 VRT for pure electric models. Among petrol models, the XE 2.0 petrol at 135g/km CO2 in the 16% band is the cheapest, at about €4,000 on a €25,000 car. The E-Pace 2.0 petrol is also reasonable for an SUV.
What is the NOx levy on Jaguar diesel imports?
Jaguar diesel imports attract a NOx levy based on NOx output. Newer Ingenium diesel engines (2016+) typically produce 200-400 mg/km NOx, paying 600-1,200 in levy. Older engines can exceed 600 mg/km, paying up to 2,400. Always factor this into your total when considering a diesel Jaguar.
Is it cheaper to import a Jaguar or buy one in Ireland?
Importing from the UK can save 2,000-6,000 for most Jaguar models after VRT, customs duty, VAT, and shipping. The F-Pace and XE offer the best savings potential due to strong UK supply. However, the higher VRT bands and NOx levies reduce the savings margin compared to cheaper brands.
Can I challenge the OMSP on my Jaguar import?
Yes, collect Irish market listings showing similar Jaguar models at prices below Revenue's OMSP. This is particularly effective for high-mileage F-Pace or XF models, or those with optional extras that don't add to Revenue's valuation.
What documents do I need to import a Jaguar from the UK?
You need the UK V5C, proof of purchase, Certificate of Conformity, ID, proof of address, and insurance. For diesel models, service records showing DPF and AdBlue maintenance are valuable. For the I-Pace, battery health and charge cycle documentation is recommended.
Are Jaguar parts and service available in Ireland?
Yes, Jaguar has a network of dealers and specialist service centres across Ireland. Parts availability is good for all common models including F-Pace, E-Pace, and XE. Costs are premium-grade, reflecting Jaguar's luxury positioning. Independent specialists offer more competitive rates than main dealers.
How does the Jaguar I-Pace EV VRT relief work?
The I-Pace qualifies for the 50% EV VRT relief. An I-Pace at €40,000 OMSP would normally cost €5,600 in VRT (14% rate). With 50% relief, the effective rate drops to about 7%, reducing the VRT to roughly €2,800 — a saving of €2,800. As a pure EV, it also pays no NOx levy, making it the cheapest Jaguar to import.
