The Indonesian automotive market is experiencing a revolutionary process due to growing demand for electric vehicles and entry of various international brands. Among them, the Chinese car maker AION is making particularly massive strides, especially in the MPV segment. In the recent exhibition at the GIIAS Bandung, AION’s CEO, Andry Ciu, shared his views on his brand’s plans for Indonesia and which models it would offer for the market. Indonesian or Innovative Concepts? Growth in the Indonesian Auto Market
AION aims to redefine the Indonesian automotive landscape with innovative electric vehicles, particularly in the MPV segment.
With growing concerns for the environment, electric cars are in increasing demand, and Indonesian consumers are no exception. AION, known as a provider of electric mobility, is not unaware of the trend. “If you really want to trade in Indonesia, three lines are a must,” said Andry Ciu during an interview at GIIAS Bandung. His statement underlines AION’s willingness to bring in all kinds of vehicles to the Indonesian market based on the wishes of the people.
AION has available models to the Indonesian market, such as the Aion ES and Aion Y Plus, as well as a high-performance Hyptec HT. Each model has its designing basis on new features and sustainability, making AION among the attractive offers to family and personal users searching for efficiency.
MPVs Electrification-The Soaring Segment
Traditionally, the Indonesian MPV market was dominated by internal combustion engine vehicles. However, this scenario is changing fast due to recent interest in electrification, changing the face of electric MPVs such as the AION model. BYD‘s M6 electric MPV, for example, has attracted thousands of orders since it hit the market.
Ciu said, “We will introduce one by one, but then we can introduce seven passengers and will be specially designed for Indonesia and local production.” This clearly indicates that AION intends to introduce a design especially for the Indonesian market, which will attract more buyers to itself.
