Jetour to Introduce More NEV Options to Indonesian Market

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Chinese electric vehicle brand Jetour is set to bring more new energy vehicle (NEV) options to the Indonesian market.

“Going forward, people will increasingly seek high-tech vehicles offering a better driving experience. Compared with conventional cars (internal combustion engine/ICE), NEVs offer a number of benefits, such as stronger acceleration performance and better energy efficiency,” said Ke Chuandeng, President of Jetour International and Assistant President of Chery Automobile, in an exclusive interview with Xinhua on 30 July.

Jetour entered the NEV segment in Indonesia with the launch of its first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), the Jetour T1 i-DM, in early June, followed by the launch of its second PHEV model, the T2 i-DM, at the GAIKINDO Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) last weekend.

Following the launches of the two PHEV models, Jetour will introduce more NEV models in the future. The company stated that it will bring the pure electric Jetour TX to the Indonesian market in Q1 2027. The electric SUV was first unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show in late April.

After two years in the domestic automotive industry, Jetour’s market share has grown rapidly. Jetour’s wholesale sales in the first half of this year jumped 457 per cent compared with last year, reaching 1,525 units and making it one of the fastest-growing brands.

In addition, Jetour is among the Chinese brands that have realised production localisation. In line with rising sales, Jetour’s local production volume increased by 264 per cent to 1,576 units.
