Indonesia’s PHEV Surge Reshapes Auto Market as Chinese Brands Take the Lead

Table of Contents

Jakarta – A decisive shift is unfolding in Indonesia’s auto sector as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) move from niche curiosity to a notable market segment, according to fresh Gaikindo data on electrified cars.

Overall deliveries of electrified cars-hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and battery electric vehicles-totaled 144,148 units in the period under review.

Breaking down the mix, plug-in hybrids account for 4,312 units, conventional hybrids for 57,311, and battery electric vehicles for 82,525.

Ancient context shows PHEV popularity has surged after years of slow growth. The segment was once tiny-just 25 units in 2019, dropping to eight in 2020 during the pandemic.

After years of gradual gains, 2025 marks a turning point. From a total of 136 PHEV units in 2024, the January-November period alone logged 4,312 units, reflecting a dramatic rise of roughly 3,217% year over year.

One driver of the boom is the emergence of competitive, locally produced models from Chinese manufacturers, led by the Chery Group. Previously, PHEVs from European or Japanese brands sat in the premium segment with higher price tags.

Chery’s Tiggo 8 with Super Hybrid (CSH) technology led sales, followed by the Tiggo 9 CSH. The Tiggo 8 CSH shipped 2,853 units in January-November 2025, while the Tiggo 9 CSH delivered 339 units.

Other Chinese brands gaining traction include Jaecoo with the J7 SHS and J8 SHS, recording 576 and 186 units respectively in the same period. Mazda joined the trend with the CX-80 PHEV at 69 units, while Geely‘s Starray reached 167 units in November 2025. Toyota’s PHEV push, notably the Prius PHEV, remains modest with only a single reported unit so far. Wuling entered the market with the Darion, tallying eight units.

The widening availability of more affordable PHEVs produced locally is dissolving the perception of plug-in hybrids as a luxury item.

Best-Selling PHEV Models in Indonesia (Jan-Oct 2025)

Dominance in the early 2025 period is led by Chinese brands, with the following models recording the strongest sales:

Model Brand Units Sold (jan-Oct 2025)
Chery Tiggo 8 CSH Chery 2,853
Jaecoo J7 SHS Jaecoo 576
Chery Tiggo 9 CSH Chery 339
Jaecoo J8 SHS Jaecoo 186
geely Starray Geely 167
Mazda CX-80 PHEV Mazda 69

The data underscore a broader shift toward electrified mobility, driven by competitive pricing, growing model variety, and local production advantages. While brands from Europe and Japan still contribute to the mix, the current trajectory places Chinese manufacturers at the forefront of Indonesia’s PHEV ascent.

As the market evolves, the question for readers is whether this momentum will persist into the next year and which brand might emerge as the new leader of PHEV sales.

Mazda CX-80 Wins 2025 NZ Car of the Year | DRIVEN

by Daniel Foster - Senior Editor, Economy
written by Daniel Foster - Senior Editor, Economy

The Rise of the Premium Seven-Seater: How Mazda’s CX-80 Signals a Shift in SUV Expectations

Could a large SUV genuinely deliver a driving experience that rivals a sports sedan? Mazda is betting on it, and the new CX-80 is their boldest statement yet. This isn’t just another three-row vehicle; it’s a signal that families no longer have to compromise between practicality and a premium feel. As the automotive landscape rapidly evolves, the CX-80’s arrival highlights a growing demand for SUVs that offer both space and sophistication, setting a new benchmark for the segment and hinting at a future where large vehicles are no longer synonymous with blandness.

Beyond Space: The Demand for Elevated SUV Experiences

For years, the seven-seater SUV market has been dominated by vehicles prioritizing function over form. While space and reliability were key, emotional connection and driving pleasure often took a backseat. However, consumer expectations are changing. A recent report by J.D. Power indicates a 15% increase in demand for SUVs with “premium” interior features and enhanced driving dynamics over the past three years. The Mazda CX-80 directly addresses this shift, offering a cabin that rivals luxury brands and a rear-biased platform designed for engaging handling.

The Mazda Large Platform Advantage

The CX-80 builds upon Mazda’s innovative Large Platform, shared with the CX-60 and CX-90. This architecture prioritizes a rear-wheel-drive bias, contributing to a more balanced and responsive driving experience. This is a departure from the front-wheel-drive layouts common in many competitors, and it’s a key differentiator for Mazda. The platform’s inherent rigidity also allows for a more refined ride quality, minimizing body roll and maximizing comfort.

Powertrain Choices: Mild Hybrid Efficiency vs. Plug-in Hybrid Power

Mazda offers two compelling powertrain options for the CX-80: a 3.3-litre inline-six mild hybrid and a 2.5-litre four-cylinder plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The mild hybrid, producing 209kW and 450Nm, delivers a smooth and sonorous driving experience, achieving impressive fuel efficiency of 1.7-8.4l/100km (WLTP). While the PHEV, with 241kW and 500Nm, offers greater power and the potential for electric-only driving, Mazda acknowledges ongoing refinement is needed to optimize the transition between petrol and electric power.

The choice between these powertrains reflects a broader trend in the automotive industry: the increasing availability of electrified options. However, Mazda’s approach is nuanced, offering both mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid solutions to cater to diverse consumer needs and preferences. This strategy positions them well for the future, as regulations surrounding emissions become increasingly stringent.

Interior Space and Practicality: Redefining the Family SUV

The CX-80 doesn’t just look good; it’s remarkably practical. With a stretched wheelbase, it offers generous passenger space, comfortably accommodating adults in all three rows (for shorter journeys, of course). Even with all seven seats in use, it boasts 258 litres of luggage space – enough for everyday essentials. Fold down the third row, and that expands to a substantial 566 litres. This makes the CX-80 one of the most spacious SUVs in its class.


CX-80 Interior - Spacious Third Row and Cargo Area

The Future of Large SUVs: Premiumization and Driving Dynamics

The Mazda CX-80 isn’t an isolated case. Other manufacturers are also recognizing the need to elevate the SUV experience. We’re seeing a trend towards more sophisticated interiors, advanced technology, and – crucially – improved driving dynamics. This premiumization of the SUV segment is driven by a growing demographic of buyers who want a vehicle that reflects their lifestyle and values. They’re no longer willing to settle for a purely utilitarian vehicle; they want something that’s both practical and enjoyable to drive.

The Impact of Rear-Wheel-Drive Bias

The CX-80’s rear-wheel-drive bias is a particularly significant development. Historically, large SUVs have been associated with cumbersome handling and a lack of driver engagement. By prioritizing rear-wheel drive, Mazda has created a vehicle that feels more agile and responsive, offering a driving experience that’s closer to that of a sports sedan. This trend is likely to continue, with more manufacturers adopting similar architectures in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Mazda CX-80 a true seven-seater?

A: While the CX-80 offers seven seats, the third row is best suited for occasional use by adults or children. It’s comparable to the third-row space found in many other large SUVs.

Q: What are the main differences between the mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions?

A: The PHEV offers more power and the ability to drive on electric power alone, while the mild hybrid prioritizes fuel efficiency and delivers a smoother, more refined driving experience at a lower price.

Q: How does the CX-80 compare to its competitors, like the Peugeot 5008 and Skoda Kodiaq?

A: The CX-80 stands out with its premium interior, rear-wheel-drive bias, and focus on driving dynamics. While the Peugeot 5008 and Skoda Kodiaq offer excellent value, the CX-80 provides a more sophisticated and engaging driving experience.

Q: What is the future of Mazda’s Large Platform?

A: Mazda is committed to further developing the Large Platform, with plans to introduce more models based on this architecture in the coming years. Expect to see continued innovation in powertrain technology and driving dynamics.

The Mazda CX-80 isn’t just a new SUV; it’s a statement of intent. It signals a shift in the automotive industry, where large vehicles are no longer defined by compromise. By prioritizing both practicality and premium experiences, Mazda is setting a new standard for the seven-seater SUV segment. What will it take for other manufacturers to catch up?
