Turkiye May 2026: Renault (+21.1%) monopolises podium in mediocre market (-22.5%)

18 June 2026 at 11:59

First podium finish for the Renault Duster in Turkiye.

New light vehicle sales in Turkiye crash down -22.5% year-on-year in May to just 83,442 units. As a result the year-to-date tally is now off -7.4% to 453,138. Renault (+21.1%) braves the negative context to score a runaway win with 13.1% share, in line with the 13% it holds year-to-date. Volkswagen (-12%) also beats the market to stay in 2nd place with 8.8% share, distancing a cratering Fiat (-41.8%). VW ascends to #3 year-to-date as a result. Hyundai (-0.3%) and local EV maker Togg (-4.7%) resist in the Top 10 with Toyota (-17.1%) also above the market fall rate, but Opel (-45.8%), Ford (-37.5%) and Citroen (-35.1%) all implode. Below, Jeep (+258.5%), KGM (+107.1%) and Omoda & Jaecoo (+103.2%) stand out.

Renault monopolises the podium in the passenger car models ranking. The Clio (-9.7%) holds onto the top spot ahead of the Megane Sedan (-8.9%) while the Duster (+203.8%) delivers its first ever podium finish at #3. The Toyota Corolla (+17.6%) is the best of the rest at #4, distancing the VW Taigo (-36.9%) and Fiat Egea Sedan (-48.8%) both freefalling. The Hyundai Bayon (+40.6%) and Nissan Qashqai (+11.4%) are also up in the remainder of the Top 10. Further down, notice the Kia Sportage (+216%), Chery Tiggo 7 (+181.5%), Renault Austral (+166.5%) and VW Tiguan (+148.9%). The new Togg T10F is back up four spots on last month to #13 and ranks #11 YTD.
