JAKARTA BYD is now present in Indonesia with stronger confidence. Although it has only been a year since entering the country's market, this Chinese automotive brand immediately won high confidence from consumers. In its first year, it was discovered that BYD introduced three mainstay models at once: Dolphin, Atto 3, and Seal.

The innovation continues. BYD then presented a promising MPV M6, followed by other models such as Sealion. It didn't stop there, BYD also brought Denza's premium subbrand with its flagship MPV, Denza D9, and launched BYD Atto 1 which was in the spotlight thanks to its design, technology, to competitive prices.

Consistently, BYD builds a trust foundation through product quality, sustainable technology education, strengthening full-sale services, as well as a commitment to safety and sustainability.

Director of Operations of PT BYD Motor Indonesia, Nathan Sun, explained that these various steps yielded positive results in the national market.

"ByD dominates the market share of electric vehicles by 54 percent or more than 37,600 units in the January period of October 2025. This achievement helped encourage the penetration of the Indonesian EV market to reach 11 percent and made BYD one of the significant contributors to the growth of the national automotive industry," he said at a press conference at ICE BSD, Friday, November 21.

Among the various models presented, BYD Atto 1 is a special achievement. This latest electric city car received an extraordinary welcome, until it managed to occupy the position of the best-selling car in October 2025 an indicator that electric vehicles are now increasingly accepted as a solution to future mobility.

Gaikindo data also strengthens this trend, with BYD Atto 1 sales breaking through 9,396 fantastic numbers for newly launched models.

"This achievement confirms that the modern technology, efficiency, and driving experience offered by BYD is able to answer the needs of Indonesian consumers," added Nathan.

BYD Atto 1 comes as an electric city car marketed starting from IDR 195 million. The model offers two variants: Dynamic with a Blade 30.08 kWh battery 300 km away, and Premium with a Blade 38.88 kWh battery capable of traveling up to 380 km.
