JAKARTA - Kia Sales Indonesia achieved positive achievements in its first participation in the 2026 Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS). This also marks an optimistic first step in rebuilding Kia's brand presence in the country.

As the first exhibition debut under the management of Kia Sales Indonesia, Kia managed to record sales of hundreds of units throughout the exhibition, as well as building public enthusiasm through its electrification product line and modern family vehicles.

One of the main highlights during the exhibition was the positive reception of The All New Carens. Consumers who tried the unit test drive directly rated The All New Carens as a family MPV that offers a balance between comfort, performance, and safety features that are relevant to today's mobility needs.

This high interest is reflected in the sales composition, where about 80 percent of the contribution comes from The All New Carens. This shows that Kia's product strategy and driving experience are able to meet the expectations of Indonesian consumers today.

Sales VP of Kia Sales Indonesia, Randy R. Murdoko, said Kia's first participation in IIMS 2026 was an important milestone for us to reintroduce Kia's modern, innovative, and customer-centric DNA to the Indonesian people.

"The positive response to The All New Carens and the appreciation of our electrification line are strong signals that our strategy direction is well received by the market," he said in an official statement received, Thursday, February 26.

As Randy said, in addition to sales achievements, Kia also managed to gain attention through awards given to future electrification vehicle lines.

Kia managed to bring home two awards from IIMS 2026, namely for PV5 as the "Favorite Concept Car" and EV9 as the "Best Big EV SUV". The presence of these two models represents Kia's vision in providing innovative and futuristic sustainable mobility solutions, as well as strengthening the brand's positioning as a progressive global player in the era of electrification.

The award for the Kia EV9 as the "Best Big EV SUV" strengthens Kia's position in the premium electric vehicle segment. With its iconic dimensions, bold design, and innovative technology support, the EV9 appears as a representation of a modern electric SUV that is relevant to today's mobility needs.

On the other hand, PV5 as a "Favorite Concept Car" confirms Kia's seriousness in exploring future vehicle designs and concepts as well as inviting consumer enthusiasm for the launch of this model in the future.

Participation in IIMS 2026 is not only an introduction to products, but also an important momentum for Kia to build closer connections with Indonesian consumers. Visitor enthusiasm is evident from the high activity in the booth area, interaction sessions with the media, to direct driving experience which is one of the main factors in increasing purchase interest.

"For us, the number is important, but more importantly is the pattern we see. People come with certain expectations. After trying, their expectations change to confidence. That's what makes us optimistic. It means the foundation is there, it's just how we consistently maintain the quality of products and services after the exhibition is over," concluded Randy.
