Hybrids and New Chinese Cars Challenge Avanza and Xenia in Indonesia
In Indonesia, new Chinese cars and hybrids are reshaping the used-car market, especially in big cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya.
More choices, including electric vehicles, have led some owners to sell older cars and switch to new ones.
That has left used cars piling up in Jakarta, so dealers are sending more vehicles to other areas.
Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia still find buyers, but shoppers increasingly favour fuel-efficient models, including hybrids such as the Chery CSH and Suzuki XL7.
Used-car dealers say cars made in 2024 or later are in demand, and the most popular price range has shifted from Rp100 million–Rp200 million to around Rp300 million.
The market is shifting toward newer, more efficient cars, while Avanza and Xenia remain available at prices that vary by age and condition.
Chinese car brands and fuel-efficient hybrids are changing Indonesia’s used-car market, especially in Jakarta and Surabaya.
