What's new
The Togg T10X is heading to IAA Mobility in Munich as one of the brand’s debut models for the German market. The Turkish manufacturer, which has so far sold its vehicles at home, plans to announce a German launch for 2026. The focus is the electric SUV T10X, described as a Turkish alternative to the Volkswagen ID.4.
The vehicle is not new in Turkey, where Togg presented its first car in 2022 and has since sold around 60,000 units of the electric SUV. Until now, however, the brand had not moved beyond its home market. The dark blue T10X with Turkish plates travelling through the Balkans, Austria and Bavaria became a preview of the company’s move onto a wider European stage.
The German launch is not planned around one vehicle alone. Alongside the T10X, Togg also intends to bring the T10F sedan, using the same technical package and aimed at buyers considering models such as the Volkswagen ID.7. Two models are therefore part of the German plan, although the SUV driven from Gemlik to Munich remains the central car.
- Togg T10X: electric SUV, compared in the text with the Volkswagen ID.4.
- Togg T10F: sedan with the same technology, linked to the Volkswagen ID.7 segment.
- IAA Mobility in Munich: the setting for the German-market announcement.
Specifications and technology
Technically, the T10X uses an electric drive system with one or two Bosch motors. The figures given are 160 kW/218 hp and two battery capacities, 52.4 kWh and 88.5 kWh. The long drive was made in the AWD version with the larger battery, which is rated on paper for up to 523 km of standard range.
In real use, the journey through Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria showed shorter distances between charging stops. The 88.5 kWh battery rarely delivered more than 400 km on this route. In Turkey, Togg’s own charging network can supply the car at up to 180 kW, while the trip also mentions a 200 kW charger at the Smederevo steelworks in Serbia.
Figures recorded around the drive
The all-wheel-drive version has a combined 700 Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 4.8 seconds, and top speed is 185 km/h. That performance helped when overtaking on narrow Bulgarian roads and on the Rossfeld Panoramastraße, although much of the Balkan route did not allow the car to use its full speed.
The body measures 4.60 metres in length, with a 2.90-metre wheelbase. Cabin space is described as adequate rather than generous on all seats. The boot holds from 441 to 1515 litres, and, as with Volkswagen models mentioned in the text, there is no front trunk.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|
| Power | 160 kW/218 hp |
| Batteries | 52.4 or 88.5 kWh |
| Standard range | up to 523 km |
| Charging | up to 180 kW on Togg’s Turkish network |
| AWD torque | 700 Nm |
| 0-100 km/h | 4.8 seconds |
| Top speed | 185 km/h |
| Boot capacity | 441-1515 litres |
The cabin puts a clear emphasis on the digital side of the project. A screen spans the full width of the dashboard, and the system can display a Turkish flag moving as if in digital wind. Togg prefers to describe the car as a “smart device”, which is why the onboard environment includes its own currency, a cross-sector bonus system and a web store that can be used from the car to book flights, buy electricity or even pay taxes.
Not everything is about the screens, though. Once the digital extras are put aside, the T10X is described as a very conventional SUV, closer to established manufacturers such as Volkswagen than to Tesla or Chinese newcomers. The suspension and steering are not presented as the most precise, but they worked well over long distances, and the drive modes allowed some enjoyment on the winding sections of the Balkan route.
Markets, prices and availability
The public announcement of the German-market entry is due at the beginning of September during IAA Mobility in Munich. Serious export activity is planned for the following year, meaning 2026. Until now, Togg has operated mainly in Turkey, where it has also built its own charging network, compared in the text with Tesla’s approach.
Prices in Turkey start from the equivalent of about 41,000 euros. German prices, trim levels and the exact sales launch date are not stated. The factory in Gemlik on the Bosporus, however, is designed for production of up to 175,000 cars per year.
The road to Munich
The drive to the IAA started at the Gemlik plant and ran via Istanbul to Edirne near the Bulgarian border. From there the route continued through Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria before the car crossed into Germany in the Berchtesgadener Land region. In total, the trip covered around 2000 km and took three days.
Once in Germany, the SUV joined the autobahn after Salzburg and headed towards the Munich exhibition grounds. On the way, it drew recognition from people of Turkish origin in Bavaria, including at a charging point on the Irschenberg, during a stop at the Siegestor in Schwabing and in front of the main IAA entrance. That matters because the brand is not relying only on curiosity about a new manufacturer, but also on the connection some buyers may feel with a car from Turkey.
Verdict
The T10X reaches Germany as a solid electric SUV with a large battery, fast charging and a strong AWD version. Its defining feature is not the hardware alone, but the combination of familiar driving manners, a broad digital ecosystem and a German sales push scheduled for 2026.
