Recently, a number of Chinese car brands have been busy cutting the selling price of their cars in Indonesia. In fact, there are several brands that have not only lowered their prices once, but many times. Some of these brands include MG Motors, Wuling, Chery and others. Interestingly, the price reduction is not playing games, ranging from tens to hundreds of millions of rupiah and without any reduction in features.
Most recently, in the middle of this week Chery reduced the price of the Omoda 5 (now C5) to Rp 27 million and the price of the Chery E5 electric car dropped to Rp 100 million. Using CATL batteries, the Chery E5 is offered at a new, more competitive price of Rp 399.9 (OTR Jakarta) and Rp 404.9 (OTR Jakarta) for the two-tone variant. While Chery E5 Pure is priced at Rp 369.9 (OTR Jakarta).
Meanwhile, Neta Indonesia cut the selling price of the Neta V from Rp 317 million to Rp 299 million OTR Jakarta in the middle of the first semester of 2020. Managing Director of PT NETA Auto Indonesia, Jerry Huang, explained that the price reduction occurred because the car has been assembled domestically through PT Handal Indonesia Motor (HIM) in Bekasi, West Java.
A similar move was taken by Morris Garage (MG), a British-Chinese hybrid brand, which adjusted the price of the MG 4EV three times. Initially, the car was priced at Rp 649.9 million-Rp 699.9 million when it was imported from Thailand. After production was moved to a factory in Cikarang, Bekasi, West Java, the price dropped significantly to IDR 395 million.
Entering mid-2024, Wuling Motors also made adjustments to the Air EV Standard Range, one of its flagship electric cars. The price, which was originally in the range of Rp 190 million, has now been corrected to Rp 170 million. Interested in buying a new car this year?
