Finest sellers BYD Seal U, Togg T10X, and Tesla Mannequin Y assist this market attain 18% market share
Turkish plugin gross sales are up a implausible 128% in 2025, to over 103,000 items, with the plugin car (PEV) share now at 18%. The 12 months might finish at some 180,000 items.
Whereas EVs held lower than 1 % of this passenger automobile market share in 2022, they rose to about 7 % in 2023, 10 % in 2024, and 18 % within the first seven months of 2025. This market’s development is nothing wanting astounding, particularly contemplating that this isn’t a small market — the general Turkish market recurrently ends the 12 months at over a million items.
Up to now, this market was recognized for the BMW i8’s success. The sporty Beemer gained two(!) greatest vendor awards (2015 & 2016), however at present the three gross sales leaders are a lot much less Instagrammable. The highest three fashions (BYD Seal U, Togg T10X, and Tesla Mannequin Y) collectively maintain 44% of the EV market.
The second place end of the native hero Togg T10X crossover is especially spectacular. It proves that, when completed correctly, EVs can create alternatives for brand spanking new manufacturers to indicate up in locations not normally related to the automotive trade. For different examples, have a look at Vietnam and VinFast.
As for the opposite two kings, to start with, Tesla is experiencing some current success within the nation. The Made-in-Germany Mannequin Y is promoting like sizzling buns these previous few months, however that also isn’t sufficient to surpass its world rival, the BYD Tune/Seal U, within the Turkish market.
The remaining fashions within the prime 10 are a diversified bunch, with the largest surprises being the 4th place of the Made-in-Germany Mini Countryman EV, the presence of the French Peugeot e-3008 in ninth, and the Korean KG Mobility Torres EVX in tenth. That’s three fashions that we’re not used to seeing among the many greatest sellers.
Lastly, all 10 fashions are crossovers or SUVs.
OEM-wise, BYD leads a pack of 5 automotive teams that collectively maintain 78% of the Turkish EV market, with the shock being the comparatively robust efficiency of Stellantis on this market.
#6 Hyundai-Kia is way from this group, with the Korean OEM proudly owning simply 7.8% share.
