In November, the passenger car and light commercial vehicle market reached 132,984 units, marking 9.82% growth year-on-year. Industry assessments indicate demand remains strong, though more balanced than the “overheated” periods seen in recent years. Stakeholders also highlight that November and December are traditionally the strongest months of the year, with campaigns and price discounts playing a major role in sustaining momentum.

The Turkish automotive market closed 2025 in a strong demand environment, while the used car market remained stable. According to field research conducted by Otomerkezi.net, rising housing costs and changing investment behaviors have made cars an accessible and easily convertible investment vehicle for consumers.

Otomerkezi.net, one of the players in the second-hand car market, shared its expectations for the future of the sector. Company CEO Muhammed Ali Karakaş stated that with the improvement of financing conditions by 2026, the market will settle into a more rational balance, adding, “The era where every car could be sold under any conditions is over. From now on, trust, transparency, and accurate pricing will take center stage.”
