BYD Türkiye, part of Jameel Motors, marked a landmark moment at the ODMD Sales and Communication Awards – 2025 Gladiators, held on January 6 in Istanbul. Organized by the Automotive Distributors and Mobility Association (ODMD), the ceremony recognized the most successful sales and communication achievements in the Turkish automotive industry, alongside the official announcement of the 2025 market results.
According to 2025 Türkiye Automotive Market data, BYD Türkiye closed 2025 with 45,537 vehicle sales, earning the title of Türkiye’s Fastest Growing Automotive Brand.
The brand also secured market leadership in New Energy Vehicles, achieved a clear leadership position in the Plug-in Hybrid segment with 25,858 units sold, and ranked as the third most preferred brand in the Electric Vehicle market with 19,679 sales.
This strong performance was reflected across the product portfolio.
