Yet another record for the Turkish new light vehicle market with sales up 55.4% year-on-year in October to 101,367, eclipsing the previous record of 94,733 units in October 2020. It is therefore the first time more than 100,000 new vehicles are sold in October. With every month a new record so far this year, the YTD tally is now up 63.7% to a new all-time high 958,942 units over the first 10 months of the year. Fiat (+21.3%) severely trails the market but stays on top at 15.8% share. Renault (+97.7%) is catching up fast in 2nd place with 13.4% share vs. 10.7% so far this year. Toyota (+181%) shoots up eight spots on last month to #3 vs. #9 year-to-date, with Volkswagen (+6.7%) and Ford (-32.6%) both struggling below.
In contrast Citroen (+192.8%), Peugeot (+158.6%) and Opel (+144.9%) sports stunning gains in the remainder of the Top 10. The launch honeymoon period may be over for Chery falling back four ranks on September to #9 but with 4.5% share it is still way above its YTD level of 3.2%. Local EV maker Togg advances a further two spots on last month to #11 with a very solid 3.5% share. MG (+2198.2%) and Nissan (+170.7%) shine below. Tesla is now communicating sales for Turkey and ranks #25 for the month and #19 year-to-date. Finally we welcome Chinese luxury brand Hongqi in the charts.
Over in the models charts, the Renault Clio takes the lead with 7.1% share above the Fiat Egea Sedan at 6.8% and the Toyota Corolla Sedan at 6.2%. Below the Renault Megane Sedan at #4, the Togg T10X scores a splendid 5th place overall. The Fiat Egea Cross follows, ahead of the Opel Corsa, Peugeot 2008 and Chery Tiggo 8 Pro. Notice also the Citroen C4 X at #11, the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro at #15, the Chery Omoda 5 at #16, the MG HS at #22, Skywell ET5 at #35 and the MG 4 at #36.
