A Break from the Rest: iCar 03
Among the hottest points of the show, is the iCar 03, the first launching prototype at GIIAS 2024 in the end of last July in Tangerang. It is the first ever electric car designed as an off-road vehicle for the Indonesian market, marking a historical milestone for the automotive industry in Indonesia. Box-styled with such strong build, the iCar 03 is meant for adventurous drivers to have it both off-road capability as well as eco-friendly performance.

Besides seeing it, they will also be able to get behind the wheel and test its abilities, as explained by Budi Darmawan, Sales Director of CSI, in particular at Bandung, who stated that the strong interest from consumers prompted the company to decide on test drive for visitors. “iCar 03 units will be displayed starting tomorrow and can be tried, because we also brought a test car,” he shared during an interview at the event.
