Turkiye January 2026: BYD up to record #7, Atto 2 in Top 10
The BYD Atto 2 ranks #10 and helps the brand to a new share record
The Turkish new light vehicle market is up a solid 9.8% year-on-year in January to 75,362, however this is not a new January record as January 2024 was above (79,701). Renault (+9.8%) exactly matches the market and confirms it is the new favourite of Turkish customers at 12.3% share vs. 10.5% over the Full Year 2025. Toyota (+65.2%) soars to #2 with 11.5% share vs. 6.8% over FY2025, followed by Volkswagen (+23.4%) and Fiat (+1.9%), disappointing at #4. Ford (-13.6%) clearly underperforms and falls three spots on December to #5. BYD (+40.2%) is back up 7 ranks on last month to reach a new record ranking at #7, eclipsing its previous best of #8 reached last June. KGM (+180.8%), Jaecoo (+124.2%) and Chery (+122.1%) also shine below.
Over in the models charts, the Renault Clio (+54.9%) confirms it is the new favourite of Turkish customers with a splendid 7.5% share vs. just 4.8% over the Full Year 2025 when it also ranked #1. The Toyota Corolla (+67.4%) is also very dynamic at #2, as are the Toyota C-HR (+113.5%) and most impressively the VW Tiguan (+206.4%) tripling its sales year-on-year and up 36 spots on its FY 2025 ranking to #4. Notice also the Nissan Qashqai (+92.7%) and Chery Tiggo 8 (+1666.7%) both landing inside the Top 10. A newcomer, the BYD Atto 2 (aka Yuan Up), delivers a spectacular performance, landing at #10 and helping BYD to its record ranking.
