Eid al-Fitr and Fleet Demand Drive 64 Percent Increase in Suzuki Sales in February 2026

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA — PT Suzuki Indomobil Sales (SIS) recorded an impressive performance at the start of 2026. According to the latest data released by the company, the manufacturer with the S logo achieved a 64 percent jump in retail sales in February 2026 compared to the previous month.

This sharp increase serves as a positive signal for the national automotive industry, while reinforcing Suzuki’s position as one of the key players in the domestic market.

Dony Saputra, Deputy to the 4W Sales & Marketing Director of PT SIS, revealed that two fundamental factors triggered this positive trend. The first is the Seasonal Index.

“Ahead of the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr months, there is a significant increase in vehicle demand for family mobility needs,” Dony stated in his comments on Wednesday (18/3/2026).

According to Dony, the public tends to update or purchase new vehicles in preparation for the Eid homecoming.

The second factor is the growth in fleet or bulk demand. The need for large-scale operational units to support the smooth running of business and national logistics has also boosted sales figures, particularly in the commercial vehicle sector.

Looking deeper into the sales composition, the New Carry remains the mainstay of Suzuki in Indonesia. This legendary pickup dominates with a contribution of 64 percent from total sales. This aligns with the category composition where commercial vehicles contribute 64 percent, while passenger vehicles stand at 36 percent.
