Indonesia March 2026: Jaecoo J5 up to #2

The Jaecoo J5 ends the month just 65 off the March models top spot.

Indonesian new vehicle wholesales are in poor form in March at -13.6% year-on-year to just 61,271 units, yet with a year-to-date tally up 1.9% to 209,021. Retail sales similarly drop -13% to 66,637 but are up 0.7% over Q1 to 211,905. 

In the wholesales brands ranking, leaders Toyota (-20%) and Daihatsu (-31.7%) both fall even faster than the market but remain on top with 29.4% and 14.6% share respectively. Mitsubishi (-10%) is in better shape at #3 but still drops by double-digits. Suzuki (+2.5%) defies the negative market but drops one spot on February to #4. Honda (-34.5%) collapses but manages to stay at #5. Newcomer Jaecoo breaks all its records at #6 with 3,035 sales and 5% share, eclipsing its previous best of #7, 3,005 and 3.7% established just last month. It overtakes BYD (-8.2%) to become the most popular Chinese brand in Indonesia for the month. Indonesian carmaker Aletra, a partnership between PT Sinar Armada Globalindo (SAG) and Livan Auto, makes its first appearance in the charts at #39.

Retail-wise, the ranking and YoY evolutions are a little different. Toyota (-20.3%), Daihatsu (-15.2%) and Mitsubishi (-16.7%) still lead but Suzuki (-10.3%) is down and BYD (+44.7%) markedly up at #5. Honda (-50%) and newcomer Jaecoo follow.

Over in the wholesales model ranking, the Toyota Kijang Innova (-43.5%) is in complete freefall year-on-year but manage to grasp the March lead with 4.9% share. It still ranks #2 year-to-date. The performance of the month is delivered by the new Jaecoo 5, launched last November and already #2 overall, only 65 sales off the pole position. A tremendous start for the Chinese BEV. The Daihatsu Gran Max Pikap (+13.1%) stays at #3 and remains in the YTD lead with 5.9% share. It is followed by last month’s leader the Suzuki New Carry Pikap (+85.1%).
