According to wholesale sales data released by the Indonesian Automotive Industry Association (Gaikindo), from January to October 2025, Chinese car brands sold a total of 82,436 units in the Indonesian market, doubling compared to the same period last year. The sales growth is linked to the continued expansion of Chinese car brands in Indonesia. This year, 17 Chinese car brands were registered with Gaikindo, up from 11 last year.
BYD was the best-selling Chinese brand, with total sales of 30,670 units, up 178% from last year, quickly climbing from 11th place last year to 6th place this year. In October, the popularity of its new model BYD Atto 1 drove significant sales growth; Chery also performed well, selling 16,720 units as of October, up 143%, thanks to the popularity of its hybrid and electric vehicles.
Wuling, despite just launching the new seven-seat MPV Darion, sold nearly 13,000 units, ranking third among Chinese brands; brands entering the Indonesian market this year also contributed to sales growth. BYD's premium sub-brand Denza, which debuted earlier this year, sold nearly 7,000 units, and Geely sold over 2,000 units.
Chinese car brands now account for 13% of total national wholesale car sales in Indonesia, up from 5.8% last year, partially offsetting the overall 10.6% decline in Indonesia's automotive industry wholesale sales.
