JAKARTA - Welcoming the arrival of Eid Al-Fitr 2024 which will soon begin, the Indonesian people have started preparing plans to go home or return to their hometowns to stay in touch with their beloved families.

For this homecoming activity, of course, a vehicle that can provide adequate mobility is needed. One of the popular options for traveling long distances is to use Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), especially equipped with hybrid technology.

It is known, SUVs have a larger and higher design than sedans or hatchbacks, thus providing a wide cabin space. This makes it possible to bring family members, luggage, and groceries comfortably. Meanwhile, hybrid technology is known for its fuel efficiency and its ability to minimize emissions when traveling between cities.
