JAKARTA BYD is again stealing attention in the national automotive market. Throughout November 2025, the Chinese brand successfully maintained its position in the top three sales of Indonesian cars, surpassing old players such as Mitsubishi, Suzuki, and Honda.

Based on wholesales data or factory distribution to dealers reported by the Association of Indonesian Automotive Industries (Gaikindo), Tuesday, December 9, BYD posted sales of 9,481 units in November 2025. Although lower than October which reached 10,593 units, this figure remains strong enough to secure the top three positions.

BYD's performance this month also showed new dominance in the environmentally friendly car segment. They managed to overtake several Japanese brands that have long been operating in Indonesia. Last November, Mitsubishi was recorded as selling 7,402 units, Suzuki 6,102 units, and Honda only 3,032 units.

On the other hand, Toyota is still the market leader with 21,642 units, up 5.27 percent from the previous month which was at 20,559 units. Daihatsu occupies second place with 11,684 sales.

A similar trend can be seen in retail sales or sales from dealers to consumers. The top five best-selling brands in November 2025 were consecutively occupied by Toyota, Daihatsu, BYD, Mitsubishi, and Suzuki, followed by Honda in the next position.

In total, the national wholesales in November reached 74,252 units, a slight increase of 0.32 percent from October which recorded 74,014 units. Meanwhile, retail sales actually experienced a more significant spike, reaching 79,310 units, an increase of 6.1 percent from the previous month.

November became the month with the highest sales throughout 2025. However, the automotive market is predicted to remain difficult to reach 800 thousand units by the end of the year.

Cumulatively, the January November 2025 wholesales reached 710,084 units, down 9.6 percent compared to the same period last year which reached 785,917 units. For retail sales, total sales for 11 months this year reached 739,977 units, also decreased from 807,586 units in the same period last year.

For the record, the national car sales target at the beginning of the year was set at 900 thousand units. However, Gaikindo later revised it to 780 thousand units, reflecting the ongoing automotive market pressure throughout 2025.
