Strong demand for Türkiye's first electric car Togg, has seen the volume of preorders go north of 40,000 in just under 48 hours, 100,000 in a week, declared President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and added, “We aim to manufacture 20,000 vehicles this year and reach up to one million in 2030."
In 2011, President Erdoğan unveiled the project aiming to produce a domestic, all-electric car. Twelve years of hard work are finally coming to fruition as Togg's models finally see light. Identified as a smart vehicle, Togg is a user-oriented, intelligent, empathetic, connected, and autonomous car.
Offering a wide range of choice for colors (Gemlik, Kula, Anadolu, Pamukkale, Oltu, Kapadokya) and models (SUV, B-SUV, B-MPV, Sedan, C-Hatchback) for its consumers, Türkiye's Automobile Initiative Group (Togg) has already attracted a larger clientele, eager to receive their orders by the year-end.
With a starting price of TRY 953,000, the T10X model features a singleengine, rear-wheel drive design that avails itself of a tax facility granted to domestic cars. The car model is subject to a reduced special consumption tax (SCT) rate of 10 percent. Togg cars are slated to undergo production with two different engine powers, 200 HP with rear-wheel drive and 400 HP with all-wheel drive.
Togg's T10X model received more than 177,000 pre-orders in total. Minister of Industry and Technology Mustafa Varank declared that the first vehicle will be delivered to President Erdoğan and the second to President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan.
