Consumer demand is expected to shift toward used cars as a new safety regulation and tariffs on Chinese will push up prices of brand-new cars.

The General Safety Regulations 2 (GSR2), which will come into force in early July, will add more costs to some cars according to representatives of the auto industry.

Representatives from the auto industry have voiced concerns over new regulations on EV imports, stating that cars may sit idle at customs for months before entering the Turkish market.
