SEOUL, January 30 (AJP) - South Korean automaker KG Mobility (KGM) said on Friday that cumulative vehicle sales in Turkey, one of its key export markets, exceeded 50,000 units through last year.
The company said it maintained strong momentum through improved product competitiveness and aggressive marketing, exporting 11,122 vehicles to Turkey in 2024 and 13,337 in 2025. Turkey was KGM’s largest export market over the 2024–2025 period and accounted for 19 percent of its total exports last year.
EV models led the growth, including 6,722 units of the Torres EVX and 1,000 units of the Musso EV, alongside 2,630 units of the internal-combustion Musso, the company said.
KGM exported a total of 70,286 vehicles last year, up 12.7 percent from 62,378 a year earlier, marking its strongest export performance since 2014, when shipments reached 72,011 units.
By region, Western Europe accounted for 22,496 vehicles, or 32 percent of total exports, followed by Eastern Europe with 19,064 units, or 27.1 percent, and the Middle East with 17,231 units, or 24.5 percent. By country, Turkey ranked first, followed by Hungary with 9,508 vehicles and Germany with 6,213.
KGM said Turkey’s strong preference for sport utility vehicles reflects practical considerations such as road conditions, housing environments and family travel patterns. Demand for eco-friendly vehicles, including electric cars, is also rising as consumers seek to reduce fuel costs.
To sustain growth in Turkey, the company plans to launch the new Musso and expand offerings tailored to local demand, including adding telematics features to electrified models such as the Torres EVX and Musso EV.
