BYD Atto 1 tops Indonesia’s best-selling car models in September

The BYD Atto 1, a Chinese electric car, was Indonesia’s best-selling model in September 2026, with 4,840 vehicles sold wholesale to dealers.

The Daihatsu Gran Max pickup ranked second with 4,145 units, just two more than the Toyota Kijang Innova.

The Toyota Avanza came fourth, while another Chinese model, the Jaecoo J5, placed fifth.

Three Chinese electric models appeared among the 20 best-selling vehicles, while Japanese brands still had several models on the list.

Total wholesale car sales in Indonesia fell 2.7% from August to 79,540 units, but were 28.1% higher than in September 2025.

From January to September, wholesale sales rose 21% compared with the same period a year earlier.

The figures show growing competition from Chinese electric cars, alongside continued demand for Japanese passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
