JAKARTA - The government has canceled providing incentives for vehicles in the hybrid segment this year.

Responding to this, Strategic Planning Dept. Head of PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS), Joshi Prasetya admitted that he followed the government's decision.

"Yes, we continue to support any form of government policy," Joshi Prasetya told the media crew in Jakarta, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, August 10.

Although the incentives are canceled for hybrid vehicles in Indonesia, PT SIS will continue to present these vehicles to their loyal consumers.

The reason is, according to him, hybrid segment vehicles are no less important in contributing to national automotive sales. In addition, this vehicle also contributes to suppressing the pollution that exists today.

"If we do, give a vehicle choice that is in accordance with the needs and specifications as a means of transportation that is in accordance with the wishes of consumers and the government for matters in preventing pollution," he said.

Thus, it is not surprising that the hybrid vehicle presented by Suzuki received a good welcome because it has a fairly affordable price and also a more efficient maintenance.

Various hybrid vehicles marketed by Suzuki in the Indonesian automotive market, including XL-7 Hybrid, Ertiga Hybrid and Grand Vitara Hybrid. It is proven that one of the hybrid vehicles had dominated hybrid sales in its class, namely XL7.

In the period January to June 2024, XL7 Hybrid recorded quite positive sales of 4,945 units followed by a Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid 2,077 units and also a Honda CR-V e:HEV of 1,639 units.
