"The car we are promoting now is J7, and its hybrid technology is called plug-in hybrid. This is the first plug-in hybrid car in Indonesia with a price below 600 million rupiah (about 36,800 U.S. dollars). Our different exterior, different interior, and brand-new design give Indonesian consumers a completely different driving experience. We can also see that in 2024, while the overall market of cars in Indonesia declined, the sales of Chinese brands grew rapidly and explosively."

Data from the Indonesian Automotive Industry Association showed that in 2024, Indonesia's electric vehicle sales exceeded 43,000 units, an increase of 150% with Chinese brands dominating the market.
