Türkiye is on the verge of another very active year in the automotive sector.

Apart from record-breaking exports in the first 10 months of the year, the domestic car market has also been busy, with sales topping 1 million units from January to October, up approximately 10% from the same period last year.

Citizens who are planning to buy a car are now closely following developments for 2026. Looking at prices, almost all of the new models are currently priced above the TL 1 million threshold (about $23,700).

Although car sales have increased compared with the same period last year, issues such as incentives and loan announcements can also affect prices.

In 2025, Türkiye's automotive market saw significant movement in both new and used vehicles. With only the Fiat Egea remaining under TL 1 million, prospective buyers are watching the market with interest, report by Turkish economy-focused portal Ekonomim said.
