Jakarta – Indonesian automotive sales have seen an unexpected contender emerge in the electric vehicle (EV) market: Polytron, a company traditionally known for its consumer electronics. Through February 2026, Polytron has distributed 140 units of its G3 and G3+ models, surpassing the sales figures of several established Japanese automakers in the EV sector.
Data indicates Polytron delivered 82 units in January and 58 in February. This performance contrasts sharply with brands like Mitsubishi Motors, which recorded zero distributions of its L100 and MiEV models during the same period. Toyota’s bZ4X managed only 16 units distributed in the first two months of the year.
The Polytron G3 is the result of a collaboration with Skyworth K EV. Despite being a newcomer to the automotive industry, Polytron has secured a 0.1 percent market share based on total wholesale figures of 147,631 units. Within the EV segment specifically, Polytron’s sales represent a 0.62 percent share of the 22,508 electric vehicles sold in Indonesia during January and February.
The broader EV market is currently led by Chinese manufacturers. BYD’s Atto 1 topped the charts in February 2026 with 3,700 units distributed. Jaecoo’s J5 followed closely in second place with 2,926 units, although Wuling’s Darion EV completed the top three with 1,019 units. The increasing presence of brands like Geely and Denza in the top ten suggests a growing diversity of options for Indonesian consumers, ranging from compact SUVs to luxury MPVs.
Geely’s EX2 and EX5, along with Denza’s D9, have also gained traction, with sales figures of 776 and 270 units respectively. BYD’s M6 secured the fifth position with 523 units distributed.
Polytron currently ranks 29th in overall vehicle distribution for the first two months of 2026.
