Turkish automaker Togg’s T10X was the best-selling car model in Turkey in October for the third month in a row, even as overall car sales fell sharply.
Car sales dropped 28.4% from October last year to 64,939, according to the Automotive Distributors and Mobility Association. The T10X led monthly sales with 4,059 units. Volkswagen’s T-Roc was second with 3,324, followed by Togg’s T10F with 2,702, the Renault Boreal with 2,656 and the Renault Megane sedan with 2,301.
For January through October, the Renault Clio leads model sales with 35,844 units. The T10X is second with 26,079, and the Megane sedan is third with 24,077.
Electric vehicles made up 22.3% of total car sales in October. Togg’s T10X and T10F took the top two spots among electric models, and the KG Mobility Torres was third with 1,705 sales.
Togg held 47% of the electric car market in October, meaning roughly one in every two electric cars sold was a Togg. In October last year, Togg sold 1,623 T10X and 2,532 T10F vehicles.
Electric and hybrid cars together accounted for 59.4% of the total market in October, with 38,539 sales. For the first 10 months of the year, they accounted for 365,226 sales, or 52.7% of the market.
In that period, sales of electric cars below 160 kilowatts rose 6% and made up 17.3% of the market. Sales of electric cars above 160 kilowatts fell 54.2% and made up 2.3%.
