Türkiye’s first domestically produced electric vehicle, Togg, is aiming to disrupt the European automotive market, and recent testing suggests it may have the range to do so. The company recently completed a 623-kilometer drive from Istanbul to İzmir with a convoy of twenty T10F liftbacks on a single charge, a demonstration intended to highlight the vehicle’s capabilities ahead of its rollout in Germany and beyond. Industry analysts note this performance positions Togg as a potential competitor to established European automakers, notably as consumer demand for electric vehicles continues to grow.
Togg’s T10F Liftback Demonstrates Impressive Range in Istanbul-to-Izmir Test
Türkiye’s domestically produced electric vehicle, Togg, is making strides toward the European market with its T10F liftback model. The vehicle recently completed a long-range test, successfully traveling from Istanbul to İzmir on a single charge, showcasing a competitive range and feature set. This performance positions Togg to challenge established automakers in the region as it expands its footprint.
The T10F’s ability to cover the 623-kilometer distance between Istanbul and İzmir on a single charge was demonstrated during a test drive conducted with members of the press and automotive influencers. The vehicle boasts a range of up to 623 kilometers (WLTP), along with powerful motor options and advanced technology features.
Convoy Completes Cross-Country Run
Twenty Togg T10F vehicles participated in the test, departing from the Sabiha Gökçen Airport Hotel in Istanbul. The convoy traversed the Osmangazi Bridge, passing through Bursa, Balıkesir, and Manisa before arriving at the Swiss Hotel in İzmir Konak. Maintaining an average speed of 115 km/h, the vehicles completed the journey on a single charge. Togg officials greeted the press at the hotel, followed by a discussion of the test results.
Competitive with Premium Brands
Ali Çelik, an automotive writer for Türkiye Gazetesi, commented on the experience, stating, “This driving experience was very useful for us, because we saw that we could come from Istanbul to İzmir on a single charge. This is a welcome development. We had the opportunity to examine the cars more closely. We also know the opinions of foreigners on social media video channels, and they find it very successful. Sales have started in Germany, and there is a lot of demand. In particular, the German automotive press is comparing the T10F and X with premium models such as Mercedes, BMW, and Audi in Germany. It was very good for us to see these details up close.”
Following the drive, journalists shared positive feedback regarding the T10F, as well as the growing number of Togg service centers and reduced maintenance times.
