The difficulties faced by those who want to buy a car are endless. While the effects of the chip crisis, which started during the pandemic period and came to the point of stopping production, now the price hike begins. Sellers, who have adapted to the exchange rate, which has been moving up again recently, started to increase prices.
Some sellers, who decided to update the prices at the beginning of the week, started to update the labels silently. Accordingly, even if the rise in the exchange rate stops now and does not increase further, a large hike is inevitable. So which brands took the first step? Here are the details…
Car price hike efforts started
Renault, the first company to decide on a raise, has changed its website as of today. In this process, the company, which restricts access to the content on the website, sent its customers to “Prices are being updated!” He started with a letter. Although the size of the hike is not known yet, experts state that a 10% increase is guaranteed. The starting prices of some vehicles belonging to the company before the hike are as follows:
- Clio: 169.900 TL
- Taliant: 181, 900 TL
- Twizy: 191,900 TL
- Zoe: 368. 900 TL
- Captur: 260. 000 TL
- Megane: 260. 000 TL
- Kadjar: 428. 900 TL
- Talisman: 610. 900 TL
While it is still unclear which brands are making a raise, it is expected that all of them will keep up with the developments in a short time. Unfortunately, traditional vehicles are not the only models affected by the exchange rate.
Electric cars will also get their share of the raise
Electric cars, which have a limited area of use in our country and are not very popular, have taken their place among the vehicles affected by the exchange rate. Some brands, including BMW and Mini Cooper, have already fixed according to the new exchange rates. These vehicles, which are already expensive, are expected to be even less preferred after the label change.
