The best Chinese cars to import into Türkiye
This is the answer we give when a buyer asks the question in one line: which Chinese cars are actually worth importing into Türkiye. Each pick below is quoted with its own landed-cost calculation for this market, from the duty band its engine falls into to the port where it clears.
The five we would put on the water
- 02
BYD
BYD Atto 3
The EV that settled the price argument: a compact SUV with an LFP battery, dealer service in the Gulf, and a duty bill of 5% of CIF where electrics are favoured.
5 · Front-wheel drive · Electric (EV)
- 03
BYD
BYD Song Plus DM-i
A plug-in hybrid for buyers who pay for fuel at the pump: roughly 100 km of electric range on the commute and no range anxiety on the inter-city run.
5 · Front-wheel drive · 1,498 cc
- 04
Geely
Geely Coolray
The small SUV that made Chinese cars normal in Algiers and Riyadh: 1.5 turbo, low duty band, and a cabin that still feels new at five years old.
5 · Front-wheel drive · 1,477 cc
- 05
HAVAL
HAVAL H6
A volume crossover with a long model run, so parts and diagnostics are already familiar across the Gulf and Africa.

Three of the five are current stock; the other two are sourced to order. Say which one and the year, and the FOB and CIF figures come back the same day.

What buyers ask before they choose
- What is the vehicle age limit for importing a car into Türkiye?
- Used-vehicle import requires authorisation and carries a high tax burden, so a used-car programme is only realistic where a specific approval route exists.
- Do Chinese left-hand-drive cars work in Türkiye?
- Türkiye drives on the right, so a left-hand-drive car is the correct vehicle type: the steering wheel is on the side the road requires. Every car we ship is left-hand drive. Used-vehicle import requires authorisation and carries a high tax burden, so a used-car programme is only realistic where a specific approval route exists.
- Which port does a car from China clear at for Türkiye?
- Izmir and Mersin. Izmir serves the Aegean and Mersin the Mediterranean. Both take RoRo and container traffic; the permission regime rather than the route is what limits volume.
- How much does it cost to import a car from China to Türkiye?
- Charges are confirmed per unit against the tariff in force, so this lane is quoted rather than priced from a table. Send the model, model year and engine size and you get the full landed cost.
- How do I know the car is as described before it ships?
- Every unit is photographed and videoed at the yard, and the walkaround goes to you before the balance is due. Loading is supervised, and a unit that fails the agreed specification at that point is stopped rather than shipped.
- Is it cheaper to ship one car or several to Türkiye?
- RoRo is the simplest option for a single unit. A 40ft container normally carries two to four cars, so once you have enough volume to fill one, the cost per car drops noticeably — and the vehicles are not exposed on deck. Both are quoted on request for this lane.
