The Wuling Binguo is an instant blockbuster in Indonesia.

New vehicle wholesales in Indonesia sink a harsh -26% year-on-year in January to 69,619. The retail market is off -13.9% to 78,214. In the wholesales brands ranking, Toyota (-27.6%) falls slightly faster than the market and sees its share thaw to 30.1% vs. 33.5% over the Full Year 2023. Dahiatsu (-21.1%) resists better to 20.6% share vs. 18.7% over FY23. Honda (-46.6%) is in total freefall in third place with Suzuki (-6.8%) and Mitsubishi (-6.8%) performing well. The latter is up to 10% share vs. 7.7% over FY23. Wuling (+271.5%) completely defies the gloomy environment at #8. Kia (+483.3%), Lexus (+373.1%), Chery (+288.3%) and MG (+91.8%) all impress.

The Honda Brio (-26.9%) rallies back up five spots on December to #2, distancing the FY2023 leader, the Toyota Kijang Innova (+27.8%) in outstanding shape year-on-year.
