JAKARTA - PT Chery Sales Indonesia (CSI) is currently present in the Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment with its various mainstay models. However, this Chinese brand plans to enter a wider segment.

This was revealed by the Head of Brand & Marketing Department of PT Chery Sales Indonesia Rifkie Setiawan. When asked if he would bring the MPV model to Indonesia, he did not deny it.

"We'll just have to wait, we won't be long before we tell you the concept soon," he said, when met on the sidelines of the Tiggo 9 CSH Test Drive event recently.

The most appropriate moment to introduce the concept is predicted at the Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week (GJAW) exhibition, which will take place from November 21-30.

"Yes, I think I will try it as soon as possible (incognition at GJAW)," he added.

The man who is familiarly called Rifkie gave a little leak about the new model that will be introduced later. According to him, the model will also carry the same technology requirements as the SUV currently being offered.

"Yes, it means that it can accommodate people who want to buy MPV and people who are still confident in SUVs," he added.

One model points to the Exeed E08 which was introduced in China last year. This model includes premiums and will be a strong challenger for BYD's Toyota Alphard to Denza D9.

So, it is worth waiting for the MPV from Chery for the Indonesian automotive market.
