JAKARTA - The Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) Semarang 2023 was officially held on October 18-22 at the Marina Convention Center, Semarang. The automotive event which lasted for five days was used by several Brand Holder Agents (APM) to display several of its newest vehicles, one of which was PT Chery Sales Indonesia (CSI).

Different from the GIIAS event in the previous two cities, Chery featured one of its models which was just launched at the end of last September, namely Omoda 5 GT, along with several other models such as Omoda 5 EV, Omoda 5 RZ, and Tiggo 8 Pro.

"Currently the Omoda 5 family is getting bigger with the Omoda 5 EV and Omoda 5 GT. We hope that GIIAS Semarang 2023 visitors will be more enthusiastic about visiting our booth," said Qu Jizong, Executive Vice President of PT CSI, in an official statement received by VOI, Wednesday, October 18.

Since being present at the Indonesian market, the Omoda 5 model has been positively welcomed thanks to its sporty design, impressive performance, and affordable prices from its competitors. The manufacturer also presents the Tiggo 8 Pro which is one of the models that indicates that Chery's first steps are being marketed in Indonesia.

Chery has presented a Z type 5 Omoda and RZ type consisting of two machine options, namely a 1.600 cc TGDI engine with 194 dk of power and 290 Nm of torque, as well as a 1,500 cc TCI engine with 155 dk of power and 230 Nm of torque.

Specifically for the GIIAS Semarang 2023 event, manufacturers present special offers for customers starting from free insurance packages for one year during the purchase of the Omoda 5 GT before October 31, 2023. The latest car can be ordered at this event and the entire Chery dealers network with a minimum booking fee of IDR 10 million.

Meanwhile, Omoda 5 EV is the only product of Chery electrification in Indonesia. Unfortunately, the price of this car has not been disclosed.
