JAKARTA - Jaecoo J5 EV is an electric car that has managed to quickly attract customers in Indonesia. With a price tag of under Rp300 million, Jaecoo J5 EV offers specifications that are very competitive on paper in its class. No wonder, its sales are also quite high.
However, Jaecoo himself does not want to rush to present a hybrid version of the Jaecoo J5 or a new product from another variant of the line-up that is already in the Indonesian market today.
Head of Product Jaecoo Indonesia, Ryan Ferdiean Tirto, said that the market for battery-based electric vehicles (EV) in Indonesia is currently still in the early stages.
This makes the manufacturer not want to rush into expanding the electrification product line, including the J5 Super Hybrid System (SHS) model, which is already in China.
"The EV market is still a combination of a fairly large market in Indonesia itself. So at this time we will still see the market potential for hybrids but we also don't want to rush to immediately release everything," he said, when met in Kemayoran, not long ago.
The man who is familiarly called Ryan revealed that Jaecoo already has electrification products, including hybrid and EV models marketed in China. However, for the Indonesian market, the decision to launch will be adjusted to the readiness and needs of the market.
"So we will wait first, we will also see the development of the trend in the future, such as for hybrids and EVs. But for the product itself, it is already in China," he explained.
On the same occasion, Marketing Jaecoo Indonesia, M. Ilham Pratama, said the national automotive market is still very dynamic, so the direction of the electrification trend is still being analyzed. When asked about the possibility of launching a hybrid model this year, he said Jaecoo was still waiting for a signal of market needs.
"We don't know yet. We see that the market in Indonesia is still very dynamic, the trend can still change, we are still analyzing it. If it is needed this year, in terms of the market asking for hybrid, we will still bring it," concluded Ilham.
