TANGERANG, Indonesia — Chery is using Indonesia as more than a sales market for electrified vehicles, with the company developing products around local driving conditions while using the country as a base for its wider Southeast Asian strategy.
That approach was evident at the 2026 Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show, where PT Chery Sales Indonesia launched the Chery Q, a small battery-electric hatchback aimed at the urban market, and made the regional debut of the Tiggo V, a three-in-one vehicle that can be configured as an SUV, a seven-seat MPV or a utility vehicle.
The two vehicles represent different ends of the electrification market. The Q is designed to make battery-electric mobility more accessible, while the Tiggo V combines an internal combustion engine with Chery’s sixth-generation Super Hybrid system and focuses on reducing fuel consumption without giving up the flexibility of a larger family vehicle.
For Chery, Indonesia is also becoming an important development and manufacturing center for right-hand-drive markets. The company has been assembling vehicles at the Handal Indonesia Motor plant in Bekasi, West Java, while developing products specifically around conditions and consumer requirements identified in the Indonesian market.
