JAKARTA - At the moment of Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week (GJAW) 2025, Toyota also officially started the sale of the New bZ4X Battery EV for Local Production and the New Urban Cruiser Battery EV. These two models strengthen Toyota's electrification options to meet the various mobility needs of people in the country.

Previously, the first generation of Toyota bZ4X entered Indonesia through a complete import route, aka CBU from Japan. At that time, the price of Toyota bZ4X reached Rp1.2 billion. With local production, local Toyota bZ4X has now become cheaper, with a tag of Rp799 million on Jakarta OTR.

The New bZ4X Battery EV, which is now produced domestically, comes with a number of significant improvements. Including capacity building and battery performance, which allow further distance, more responsive acceleration, and full-integrated exterior-interior design updates with New T-Intouches.

"With various improvements, the New bZ4X Battery EV is an ideal choice for customers who want to experience electric driving as a complement to their vehicle," said Vice President Director of PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) Henry Tanoto in Tangerang, Friday, November 21.

Toyota bZ4X previously had a 71.4 kWh capacity battery, while its new model used a 73.1 kWh capacity battery. In terms of appearance, the design of Toyota bZ4X has been updated. The front carries a new look typical of Toyota as worn on Prius, Camry facelift, and CH-R+, which Toyota says is slimmer and more aerodynamic.

Meanwhile, the New Urban Cruiser Battery EV is a solution for Indonesians who long for stylish electrification vehicles, with reliable performance to accompany daily routines in various traffic conditions.

The New Urban Cruiser itself has not been produced locally, and is priced at Rp759 million from the Jakarta OTR. Meanwhile, since its initial presence, Toyota has been committed to supporting the mobility of the Indonesian people at every stage of life and across generations.

Our commitment to contribute and grow with Indonesia is reflected in the more than Rp100 trillion investment that we have invested in Indonesia. This investment is not only to strengthen the national automotive ecosystem that is competitive and sustainable, as well as for the development of R&D, local innovation, and the development of supporting industries. Together with partners, we have also created more than 360,000 jobs in Indonesia," said TAM President Director Hiroyuki Ueda on the same occasion.
