The need for vehicles for mudik travel has boosted public interest in\nfamily cars ahead of Eid. MPV and SUV types remain the primary choices\nas they are deemed more suitable for long-distance trips with\nfamily.<\/p>\n
Data from the Top 5 Most Wanted Eid edition by OLX shows that MPV\nvehicles dominate consumer searches with about 22.2 percent. The next\nposition is held by SUVs at 21.7 percent and hatchbacks at around 17\npercent.<\/p>\n
Several of the most sought-after models include the Toyota Kijang\nInnova, Toyota Avanza, Toyota Fortuner, Honda CR-V, and Honda HR-V.<\/p>\n
Among these models, the Avanza remains one of the popular choices due\nto its large passenger capacity and relatively affordable maintenance\ncosts. The high interest in such family cars is also evident in the used\ncar market.<\/p>\n
Many consumers consider used cars as an alternative vehicle for mudik\nbecause of their more affordable prices compared to new cars.<\/p>\n
OLX\u2019s internal data records that interest in used cars in January\n2026 increased by around 6 percent compared to December 2025. This trend\noccurs amid a decline in new car sales based on data from the Indonesian\nAutomotive Industry Association (GAIKINDO).<\/p>\n
OLXmobbi Director Agung Iskandar said that Ramadan and Eid have\nhistorically been important moments for Indonesia\u2019s used car market.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough interest temporarily declined during the holiday as people\nfocused on celebrating Eid al-Fitr, the trend usually surges again after\nEid,\u201d he said in a statement on Thursday (19\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n
In the 2025 Eid period, he said, interest in used cars on OLX and\nsales of used cars on OLXmobbi both rose significantly a week after Eid.\nOn OLX, interest increased by up to 22 percent, while on OLXmobbi, the\nnumber of purchases returned close to normal sales averages.<\/p>\n
He added that the distribution of Eid Allowance (THR) is also one of\nthe factors driving people to buy vehicles ahead of Eid. The additional\nfunds are usually used to prepare for mudik travel needs with\nfamily.<\/p>\n
